“This is for any of you who knows anyone whose lost anyone.”
May 15, 1990 ~ Concrete Blonde release Bloodletting. Concrete Blonde filled the gap between the alt-rock 80's and Nirvana with some of the darkest and most imaginative music and lyrics from the pen of Johnette Napolitano. R.E.M.'s Peter Buck does some work on the album which includes "Joey," their biggest hit. #concreteblonde #bloodletting #altrock #alternativerock #rockmusic #90smusic #musicsky #musiciansky…

Candy From a Stranger
Right smack in the middle of Grave Dancers Union and Let You Dim Light Shine, Soul Asylum released Candy From a Stranger on May 12, 1998. It's produced by Chris Kimsey, known for his work with The Rolling Stones. He helped the band lean into a melodic, radio-friendly rock sound while not losing the band's grit (see "Creatures of Habit.) #soulasylum #candyfromastranger #90srock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #altrock #alternative rock

Smile
The Jayhawks release their 6th album on May 9, 2000. It's quite the departure for die-hard 'hawks fans ... including this one. But after a few listens -- and Baby, Baby, Baby on 11 under the cans ... all was well. There's a little more pop than alt-country/altr-rock but the Jayhawks sound is there. Just rub those eyes and step high and light ... #thejayhawks #smile #altrock #pop #poprock #alternativerock #altcountry #alternativecountry #janglepop #powerpop…

Oh, and the video he found of us (also two songs) was on YouTube. I downloaded it and put it on PeerTube. Because fuck YouTube.
I don’t know the guy who recorded/posted it. But it’s my band, so I figured it would be okay to steal it.

So…a couple of days ago, a friend told me he found a video of my old band Shovel online. Circa 1996.
It reminded me that we recorded a two-song demo that I have on a cassette. Just a blank tape from the studio master.
So I remastered it and published it on Bandcamp (for free). Check it out if you want. (I know. It’s not metal. Hush.)

Rid Of Me
PJ Harvey releases her second album on May 4, 1993. It was recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota and engineered by the legendary Steve Albini. His "spartan" and abrasive style fit PJ well. Rid Of Me drew widespread praise and Rolling Stone put it at #406 on its "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. #pjharvey #ridofme #90srock #altrock #indierock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #stevealbini
