Deep Listening Day #95 β Meat Puppets II (1984). my first "dose" of Meat Puppets. my fondness for this album knows no bounds. for those that don't know, the Kirkwood brothers performed 3 of these songs with Nirvana for their MTV Unplugged in NY performance.
Ran across another one for this week's #TuneTuesday, #TheBubble, as I was listening through Forbidden Places today. This one really transports me. Had its title as a screen name for a VERY long time years ago. The amazing guitar work, the weird lyrics, all of it π

Meat Puppets - Too High to Die
I think I fell off the Meat Puppets train too early at the time (namely, after the shambolic 1st album): too much other music around to bother.
Clearly a mistake, since II was actually great. And this, probably their best... certainly wouldn't have expected, after the first, that they'd go *here*.
These days, bored hardcore bands go emo and then shoegaze. Then...alt-psych-country!
