"Sneak preview of our next album, this song blends lofi post(egg)punk energy with dark janglepop vibes to weave a tale of redemption on life's empty highway."

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.

XTC release their follow-up to Oranges & Lemons on April 27, 1992. Gus Dudgeon (yes, he of Elton John Fame) produced this lush album, mostly written by Andy Partridge using a keyboard rather than guitar. That explains the "baroque" arrangements that set the tone for the album. The album got a Grammy nod for "Best Alternative Music Album" in 1993. #xtc #nonsuch #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic #altrock #alternativerock #andypartridge

Watching an episode of MTV's 120 Minutes from 1990 and enjoying myself completely, even the fuzz and blur of a degraded VHS rip. Pretty much every song they've played so far has been a total banger from the era.
