BUFFALO TOM
Buffalo Tom
1989 U.S. pressing

Another from the Boston-centric pile of scores from my son and I’s trip down island.

This is to be filed under “GRAIL ACHIEVED”, as this was the ONLY album of Buffalo Tom’s I was missing.

Their first, & the only one that was released on SST Records. It was also produced by another Boston legend; J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr..

One of my hometown’s most beloved bands, Buffalo Tom had a really great run. Every album they made was FANTASTIC, and they had a handful of signature singles like “Sodajerk” and “Summer”, and even we featured in the beloved #90s show My So Called Life.

This self titled album is BT at their noisiest & most ramshackle; something I’m sure you can blame Mascis for. 😂

Still, you can tell it is very much the same Buffalo Tom that would break through a bit later.

Incredible band, clsssic albums all.

"Thirteen" is a song by the American rock band #BigStar. #RollingStone describes it "one of rock's most beautiful celebrations of adolescence", and rated it #396 on their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. It was written by #AlexChilton and #ChrisBell. #BillJanovitz of #BuffaloTom writes in his #AllMusic review of the song, "There are few songs that capture the aching innocence of adolescence as well" and calls it a "perfect melancholy ballad".

BUFFALO TOM
Sleepy Eyed
1995 UK pressing

Just in between shifts of Christmas shopping at the moment; having a quick spin and a bite to eat before I head back out to the Yuletide abyss.

Ever since I listened to Bill Janovitz’s solo album Lonesome Billy this morning, this has been in my head all morning while I was out, so I knew I’d throw it on today.

My favorite Buffalo Tom album of them all, and typically, something I play a lot during the AUTUMN months.

The album’s signature single “Summer” is an all time tune for me. One of those ‘time machine’ songs that when I hear it, I’m instantly back in that wonderful time as a kid in Boston.

Tangerine, Sunday Night, Souvenir, Your Stripes, Clobbered… just a flawless #alternative album from a far better and honest time.

I didn’t realize these had gotten so expensive. Holy expensive, Batman!
