and I stand by this today
but seriously alternative rock forever as I sit here in my combat boots and flannel
But if you were a teen for these, I guess you're an early Millenial?
Regardless...alternative rock ROCKS.
(side note, I met Matt Scannell recently and he is the nicest human being alive)
To be fair, it was the same exact damn show both times, can I get that counted as one?
Flea is a great human being and I was only trying to support him 😌
I thoroughly recommend dusting off a cd player and reinstalling it if you haven't already.
fun fact: I actually did not know that Switchfoot was a Christian band until years later
to be fair, The Beautiful Letdown really isn't that heavy-handed about it, at least if you're as oblivious to this stuff as I was

Like, U2 isn’t a “Christian rock band” even though the “you” in the songs is often Jesus…
That or old hymns like "Amazing Grace" where they actually put effort into the lyrics instead of copy-pasting the same Christianity 101 in every song.
A few years ago a listened to it again for the first time in ages and I was like “this sounds like proto-Soundgarden” and after some digging /1
"Could we have know, never would I have helped to nail down."
"And here's the clincher, this should be you."
And it's about him accidentally triggering a guys claustrophobia.
so rando is wrongo
Oh you liked 2 bands who were popular at the same time in the same genre? What a poser

[chuds] HOW DARE YOU, SIR!,
I feel safe
No one cares about [whatever other bands I might be listening to]
In the garage
Where I belong
No one [polices my music tastes]
In the garage
🥲🥲🥲
name albums
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
: )
Fun fact: there is a conspiracy theory that Kurt Cobain faked his death and reinvented himself as Rivers Cuomo...
Punks liked it, hippies liked it, shoegaze girls liked it. Our assistant manager who was EXACTLY LIKE the character Dick in High Fidelity, he really liked Weezer too.
If you have eclectic taste that seems like you're more authentic not less
A gatekeeper seems the more likely poser because they are denying good art to fit an image of what is correct
this relates to one of my takes: a lot of ppl into music don’t actually like music
Show that to a Zoomer and they'll probably rob you.
Tori Amos
Poe
PJ Harvey
Liz Phair
I’m come back later w more

yeah.
1 of my fave compilations also has WEEZER (I WANNA GO BACK) 😀
My cassettes are what I keep in the garage, along with my Dad’s 8 tracks.
Also, the first 3 Doors Down album still slaps.

And we’ve mentioned at least half of them on the Flashback Soundtrack podcast. 😂
So so good!

It was wider than you think
Where is Bush? Where is the fucking cranberries? Where is Chumba Wumba and SR-71, and Harvey Danger?
Lol, jk. Im glad you found a nice treasure trove.
Sarah McLachlan!?
Sorry sorry last one.
Oh my.
