  1. Deep Listening Day #95 — Meat Puppets II (1984). my first "dose" of Meat Puppets. my fondness for this album knows no bounds. for those that don't know, the Kirkwood brothers performed 3 of these songs with Nirvana for their MTV Unplugged in NY performance.

  4. Ran across another one for this week's #TuneTuesday, #TheBubble, as I was listening through Forbidden Places today. This one really transports me. Had its title as a screen name for a VERY long time years ago. The amazing guitar work, the weird lyrics, all of it 😍

  5. Huge thanks to whoever gave me this link to when Curt and Cris from the Meat Puppets played acoustic songs on Tempe, Arizona radio station KUKQ in 1990 (so young - only a band for about 10 years at this point, but still, preparing to play with Peter Murphy).

    They do a few songs with a mini interview - the first song is an instrumental version of a song they'd later record with lyrics, 'That's How It Goes' that Curt had JUST written, it didn't even have a title at that point- and he plays it on a 12 string he wasn't even familiar with. Just fuckin awesome. Then they do 'Plateau', 'One of These Days', 'If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time' (the interview) and 'Candy Hearts', a George Jones cover. And the host Jonathan mentions a Smithereens CD at the end! Epic.

  7. 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?

    Before it's begun
    The battle for the future has been won

    Here
    Before it's been told
    The story of the future has been sold
