  1. The bit that you skip #185: Soundgarden – Fourth of July

    By now you’ve realised I was a loner growing up. Nothing but music and whatever idea I had in my head, notebook and pencil/pen on hand, ready to write something I would eventually matter of factly discard.

    Contrary to other grunge bands, Soundgarden clicked right away with me. It was the impossibly weird tunings. It was the crunchy distortions. It was the eerie bass work. It was Chris Cornell’s beautiful, tortured vocals. It was a dark flame and I was attracted to it.

    Superunknown, Siamese Dream, and Crash Test Dummies’ The Ghost that haunt me now were all bought on the same day at the now extinct Tower Records on Niza, on Mexico’s Zona Rosa. I always felt their selection was nicer, the prices were amiable, and they even had a section of bootlegs. My brother drove me and I absolutely loved all three albums, as distinct as they were from each other.

    Through the years, I’ve found out that people love Fourth of July as much as I do. An oddity at first listen, it has a certain mesmerising property in its macabre. “Down in the hole/Jesus cracks a smile/beneath another shoveload”. The thanatic nature of the song, full of downbeat pessimism was crack for teenage Sam. Adult Sam agrees on this too.

    Any patriotic day has always felt weird for me. My mind can’t comprehend how gung ho you need to be to set an specific day to celebrate your own country. I guess it doesn’t make sense in a way a birthday doesn’t make sense, but we still celebrate it anyways.

    This is not going to be a commentary on the USA. I don’t feel qualified and I don’t think it’s my right to criticise a country when my own isn’t doing that great all over. If you want to celebrate your country, you should do it. And if you want to fix a country, start local, always.

  5. Episode eighty-three is up now! Today's song is Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.

    I discuss the epic rock sound that pairs with the intentionally bizarre lyrics, and the uniqueness of the late great Chris Cornell.

  6. Ok this might have accidentally switched from an AiC marathon to a Soundgarden one.

    If grunge were a real genre and not just a marketing term, I reckon there’s a good argument that this is the best album that the genre produced.

  7. Knapp verpasst: Gestern vor, schluck, 30 Jahren erschien die #Superunknown von #Soundgarden. Mindestens die Hits davon kennt jeder, der in den 90ern jung war. Für mich ist sie eine der prägenden Platten meiner popmusikalischen Reifung, zusammen mit Nevermind, Ten und allen Platten der Pixies.

  8. Os Soundgarden lançaram o álbum Superunknown há 30 anos, no dia 8 de Março de 1994.

  12. I thought about the Clash briefly yesterday, strangely via one of my previously less favorite of their songs that's grown on me recently popping in my head-- "Lovers Rock" (it's ALWAYS in my head lately?) & I knew I'd have to listen to London Calling today. I've listened to it so many times, it's like, a PART of me. I know every weird little sound on it. And I still listen to it multiple times every year. Just like Superunknown.

    Ah, the perfect album. Not all bands can do it. I think very few can.

  13. I had this badass Soundgarden "Kickstand" shirt around 1995 probably that was done by an artist called Pushead. I wore it til it fell apart. Wish I still had it 😂 They sell for a lot now (see attached sold eBay listing, not mine).

    That back graphic! 🔥 What a SONG, too. That first line, "Kickstand, you broke loose and I threw up" it's just like 🤯

    Soundgarden were on another LEVEL with this album.

  14. Soundgarden's 'Superunknown' still sounds just as amazing as it did when I bought the CD from Circuit City in 1994 when I was 14. Easily one of the greatest albums of all time. That day, I bought my first 3 CDs ever -- the others being Jar of Flies and Versus. What a YEAR for music 1994 was.

    RIP Chris Cornell 😢

  15. #Spoons - something most kids use to make music with - in a fun annoying way - #Soundgarden took to another level. The song, originally produced for #CameronCrowes film #Singles in #1992 it found its way to their #1994 record, #SuperUnknown as well as being the lead single.

    And I saw it in the sky
    I thought it was the end
    I thought it was the 4th of July"

  18. Paradójicamente, #Superunknown, publicado el 8 de marzo de 1994, sería el mayor éxito de #Soundgarden. Los mismos integrantes reconocieron que para este álbum trabajaron con mayor libertad a la hora de la composición y le dedicaron más tiempo al proceso de grabación. El resultado le otorgó una riqueza que por momentos coquetea con la psicodelia al hard rock y metal predominante en su propuesta musical.
