On this day (April 26) in 1994, my favorite band released one of my favorite albums. 'A Date with The Smithereens' features some incredible basslines, Lou Reed on two tracks, and the whole thing is a damn banger.

At the time, my 14th birthday had just passed, I was getting even more into music, and 'A Date with The Smithereens' was MINDBLOWING then. And to me, it still hits. From the opening of 'War for My Mind' to lighter tracks to maybe one of my favorite songs of all time, 'Sleep the Night Away'. Over 30 years later, I still play this one regularly.

RIP original singer (and main songwriter) Pat DiNizio, and long live The Smithereens (who still perform and tour with other singers-- something I'm sure Pat would have loved).

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #UnexpectedWhiplash - songs that start one way and then change. There are so many great ones people are mentioning.

The first one that came to mind for me is Helmet's 'Wilma's Rainbow' from their 1994 record Betty. It's the intro track too, it start everything off.. Page is doing this kinda simple, chill guitar thing first, a couple times, and then the guitar, bass, and drums hit you full on in the fucking FACE. And then at the end, after the most insane solo you've ever heard, it has a false ending. Perfection. And then the REST of the record. 🤯

Going back to 1996 today for maybe my favorite KMFDM album all the way through, Xtort. My other favorites are Nihil and Symbols (I'm partial to 90s KMFDM) but Xtort is utter perfection. This playlist leaves off the perverse last (secret) track 'Fairy', but I'll let it slide. Worth looking up if you haven't heard it 😂

The Smithereens anthology 'From Jersey it Came' was released in September 2004. In 2004 I was 24. The Smithereens had been my favorite band for a while at that point, so this was a treat for a megafan like me. If you ignore the roughness of their super early stuff here, this is a really good primer for some of the Smithereens' best songs. It starts off with ones from their early days like their first single "Girls About Town" and it also includes basically all their later hits, a Springsteen cover, and an INCREDIBLE instrumental version of their tune 'If You Want the Sun to Shine'. The version of the song with vocals is killer, but without them is SO wild. Powerful orchestration and arrangement: https://youtu.be/e9-2KtmHpwc

#NowPlaying a throwback to the late 90s/early 2000s. Add N to (X) were a very strange, synthy, blippy electronic band that were only together for a few years at the middle/end of the 90s, and barely into the 2000s (they broke up in 2003). They made some catchy, weird songs.

Add N to (X) did a few LPs, this is my favorite, 'Insult to Injury', from 2000: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nS_qnyxLTdZiHEmxwxhCFo51X1fmyN8kw

Track 7 of that especially, 'Plug Me In', which is what got me hooked on them. The video for 'Plug Me In' has adult video actresses playing with toys, and isn't on YouTube. So I put it here (to download, it's too big to stream) because censorship is bullshit: https://drive.proton.me/urls/NF445YTQPC#eveb0kvLhGRk

Looks like I'm going through (my) #PerfectAlbums today. They're all subjective.

This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect.

I'm a Meat Puppets fanatic, seen em multiple times, love stuff from all the albums. But only a few of their records I find perfect. I'm not big on their super early stuff. Bits and pieces.

I dig 'Monsters' from 1989 fully, but it's not an 'anytime' kind of record for me. So the first Meat Puppets record I find perfect - an 'anytime' album - is 1991's 'Forbidden Places'.

Has some real alt-country on this one (as most Puppets records do, it's not much, among the blazing guitars). From the first seconds and minutes of "Sam" - I mean, they still play this live. It is WILD. They Might Be Giants covered "Whirlpool". This album is rad, man. From "No Longer Gone" (which was my username on Twitter for many years) 🤣 to the title track, just legendary. Underrated?

Earlier this week I ran across a KILLER death metal album from 1993. For this week's #ThursDeath, the fucking MASTERPIECE of a record 'Circle of Evolution' by SCHISMATIC from Poland. Maybe some of you guys know this one already (@djrobotham)?

This is a GREAT no-frills death metal record -- my favorite kind. No samples, no intro. Just riffage, chugging, growls, perfection. Some wild funk bass later on in the tracks. Don't miss this one if you haven't heard it.
