This week's #TuneTuesday is #GetItNow
Songs that made you understand why folks liked a band.

I remember hating the idea of grunge generally and Soundgarden specifically. Didn't trust it. Sell out. Other things.

Then I was at the 930 club in DC at a Swiz show I think & I heard Jesus Christ Pose between bands. I was like, "Oh! Metal! Why didn't you say so?"

Plus Badmotorfinger is objectively better than their earlier records anyway.

@shotgunseamstress @D_J_Nathanson I’ve seen Dag Nasty of the Field Day tour in Rockford IL. Thinking of DC bands I’ve seen, Soulside, Hoover, Severin, Government Issue, Jawbox, Nation of Ulysses, Lungfish, Shudder to Think, Kingface, Scream, Fugazi, Bad Brains… do the Meatmen count?
Show threadShotgun SeamstressDec 30
@fistfulofdave @D_J_Nathanson my era was more like The Makeup, Q & not U, Lungfish, Fugazi, Faraquet, El Guapo (turned into Supersystem), Quix*o*tic, ABCs, Chromtech, TransAm, Ted Leo, The Dismemberment Plan…

@shotgunseamstress @D_J_Nathanson I’ve seen Trans Am, always forget non-Discord adjacent band. I’ve also seen Dismemberment Plan, they toured with The Promise Ring.

@D_J_Nathanson @fistfulofdave I can make a pretty good guess at everyone’s age in this thread based on what bands you know or got to see 😃 it’s like the full range of GenX up in here.

@shotgunseamstress @fistfulofdave I went to shows pretty non-stop so I saw pretty much anyone who was active in DC/DMV. Hell, I interviewed Krack.No ragrets. That album was great.

@D_J_Nathanson @fistfulofdave I’ve never even heard of Krack!

@shotgunseamstress @fistfulofdave Baltimore band on Merkin. Their album "Funkwagon McGuillicuddy" is ridiculous evil punk/metal. (No funk.) Pick it up if you ever see it. I see no evidence of it on the web. I saw the Moss Icon hippie offshoot Breathing Walker. There was a band you couldn't avoid in DC called Scooter Trash. Oh my god, they were so bad.

Edit: Krack discogs. Palace on the Moon was the jam.
