TAD
Inhaler
2021 U.S. Ltd. Edition RSD Reissue
Tan, Black, And Red Swirl vinyl

One of my favorite albums growing up as a teenager.
“Grease Box” is the absolute jam, and that song was a big deal for me and my friends back in ‘93.
So much so, it was the only cover song the FIRST band ever played in did. It was incredibly easy to play, and TONS of fun.

The whole album smokes from start to finish. Throat Locust, Leafy Incline, Luminol… just one great “grunge” tune after another, all accentuated by incredible production.
Inhaler sounds MASSIVE in every way, and a lot of that has to do with producer J Mascis & the incredible mixing job by John Agnello.

One of the most criminally underrated records from that whole early #90s boom, before things went to complete shit around late ‘94.

Great Tad Doyle quote:
“I wasn’t a lunberjack. I just played one on TV.”

Themes of societal unrest, power structures, and disillusionment run throughout, with Dave Gahan delivering a more forceful and direct vocal performance..

Released today 9 years ago:

🇬🇧 Anohni "Paradise" – 2017

Combines sharp, minimal beats with expansive synth textures, creating a stark yet emotionally resonant soundscape.
Anohni’s voice remains central: expressive, haunting, and deeply human as themes of surveillance, environmental collapse, and vulnerability unfolds...

42 years ago today, March 17, 1984, Lorrie Morgan debuted at #86 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Don’t Go Changing”. It went on to peak at #69 & spent a total of 5 weeks on the chart.

I first remember seeing & hearing her singing on the ACMs in 1984. She was among new female artists that sang a portion of their latest single. She sang this very song. I was immediately hooked on her voice. I went out & bought the single. 🎸 🎧

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Cut Me Deep (A Story Of Indie Pop 1985-1989)
2024 UK 4xCD Box Set

THIS was something I just couldn’t pass up.

There were just too many amazing artists and too many great songs to not buy it.

Each CD has over 70 mins. of music on it, and it’s the kind of thing where you can just pick ANY of the four, let it play from the beginning, and be completely happy.
It really is an embarrassment of #80s indie pop riches.

I’ll let you read the tracklist on your own to see what I’m talking about.

This might be my favorite thing I’ve bought all year.
Which is wild, because it’s CDs!
