This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #UnexpectedWhiplash - songs that start one way and then change. There are so many great ones people are mentioning.

The first one that came to mind for me is Helmet's 'Wilma's Rainbow' from their 1994 record Betty. It's the intro track too, it start everything off.. Page is doing this kinda simple, chill guitar thing first, a couple times, and then the guitar, bass, and drums hit you full on in the fucking FACE. And then at the end, after the most insane solo you've ever heard, it has a false ending. Perfection. And then the REST of the record. 🤯

#NowPlaying Intestine Baalism's masterpiece from 1997, 'An Anatomy of the Beast'. Easily one of the best death metal records of the 90s.

#NowPlaying one more Static-X for today -- this is another single from their platinum 1999 album Wisconsin Death Trip, but I never heard this one on the radio. This is track two on the record right after "Push It", and I like this one even MORE than "Push It"-- it STILL gives me chills to this day, one of my favorite damn songs. The fucking RIFFS. And WHAT a video. You really get to see where that soundclip is from 😂

#NowPlaying The first Static-X song I heard, on the radio, in 1999, when I was 19 -- "Push It". The sound. It's unforgettable. Not even one of my top favorite songs of theirs, but still so damn badass. And then to see the video- this one's one of the greats. There's a reason 'Wisconsin Death Trip' went platinum.

CD inserts ftw. I already have an old copy of this, of course, since it's my favorite album, but I found this MINTY CD copy of Too High to Die at thrift the other day, and as a rule, I had to grab it.

#NowPlaying my favorite Psychic TV LP, 'Towards Thee Infinite Beat' from 1990. This one is some wild acid house, a truly bizarre but unforgettable one from Genesis P (RIP). I like this one so much because it has a little bit of a Coil feel but of course that inevitable Throbbing Gristle feel, too, and it's all wrapped up in this great, trance-y acid house package. LOVE this one.

Looks like I'm going through (my) #PerfectAlbums today. They're all subjective.

This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect.

I'm a Meat Puppets fanatic, seen em multiple times, love stuff from all the albums. But only a few of their records I find perfect. I'm not big on their super early stuff. Bits and pieces.

I dig 'Monsters' from 1989 fully, but it's not an 'anytime' kind of record for me. So the first Meat Puppets record I find perfect - an 'anytime' album - is 1991's 'Forbidden Places'.

Has some real alt-country on this one (as most Puppets records do, it's not much, among the blazing guitars). From the first seconds and minutes of "Sam" - I mean, they still play this live. It is WILD. They Might Be Giants covered "Whirlpool". This album is rad, man. From "No Longer Gone" (which was my username on Twitter for many years) 🤣 to the title track, just legendary. Underrated?
