I could never accept that this only sold 8 copies.

"Humdrum" should have been in every top songs list this year. David Gray, Elite Gymnastics, "Hyperballad"...best recipe I heard by a mile.

You did a great job and the Prefab joke was not missed.

You come close to mentioning the Waterboys' A Pagan Place without mentioning the Waterboys' A Pagan Place in a profile that could have been a picture of the cover of the Waterboys' A Pagan Place. This leads me to believe you found it too cruel to mention the Waterboys' A Pagan Place in this context.

"Goth Led Zeppelin" was used in nearly every review of Jane's Addiction's Nothing's Shocking in 1988. It was fitting but so obvious, lazy and pervasive that it was exhausted back then.

Astra has such insane power yet you need never open it.

This book is amazing and thorough. Keeps the Nirvana thing short and sweet, the overriding anecdote shared by most "hair metal" bands is that label people immediately stopped coming to their shows for fear of being seen there. They changed their clothes just like all the bands (*cough* Pearl Jam).

"Something to Believe In" is fascinating as a band banging their heads against the wall over label pressure...verses an obvious attempt at "Every Rose II" but the chorus is a discordant, droning dud. Arguably the most definitive guitar solo CC ever cut is interrupted by pointless dropouts. Rough.

A glaring omission is the Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man," which caught rarefied daytime play. MTV was permanently indebted to Bob Krasnow and heavily pushed Elektra's roster, a context that explains the outsize success of The Sugarcubes, who were otherwise ghettoised on college radio.

They never topped this version of "Take Good Care of It."

The nearest temporal or stylistic neighbor to UOA in the place was Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy on CD (*great* record). Assuming Switch is Down went through a series of context-free good will/thrift sorts and was indexed as a religious LP for having the word Armageddon on the cover.

This campaign ran almost without fail during every commercial break on MTV from 1992-1993. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8Tz...

Not sure the extent of your Beatles fandom, but this reminded me: the Anthology LaserDisc set has been consistently cheap for a while now; just as a physical shelf collectible, it goes for <$50 shipped all day. www.discogs.com/sell/release...
