    CD inserts ftw. I already have an old copy of this, of course, since it's my favorite album, but I found this MINTY CD copy of Too High to Die at thrift the other day, and as a rule, I had to grab it.

    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?

    Surprised I missed saying something on the exact date (Jan 25, 1994) but 30 years ago as of that date, my favorite *album* of all time was released. The Smithereens may be my favorite *band* overall & I love their albums, but my favorite album is Too High to Die by the Meat Puppets.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_High

    1994 was a great year for music. Superunknown, Jar of Flies, Downward Spiral, just everything else amazing from that year. Too High is incredible. I can always play it, any time of day or night. It's my teen years imprinting my music tastes for the rest of my life, and they have.
