Heute Abend mal etwas #AlternativeRock von #TheBreeders mit #KimDeal #Pixies und #TanyaDonelly #ThrowingMuses (wobei ich nicht sicher bin ob sie bei dieser Platte noch dabei war). Ich mag dieses Album seit es erschienen ist und es ist auch sehr gut gealtert.

A brilliant, and surprisingly joyful, gig by Belly at the Electric Ballroom in Camden last night.
They were the first band that felt like my own discovery, and I never thought I'd get to see them play live - let alone a second time.

Self-Titled Summer | Throwing Muses (1986, US)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 771 on The List, submitted by @puffer. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point of origin(s): This group originated in 1981 as a Rhode Island high school band called “Kristin Hersh and the Muses”, with said Kristin Hersh and her half-sister Tanya Donelly both on vocals and guitars, plus bassist Elaine Adamedes and drummer Becca Blumen. David Narcizo then took over the drum kit (sans cymbals) when Blumen left, and, in 1984, the group self-released their debut EP under the name Throwing Muses. Adamedes then left and Leslie Langston joined. In 1985, the Muses released an untitled demo that led to them being the first American band signed to British label 4AD. Their (technically not self-titled but untitled) debut LP is the album we look at here, which features reworkings of 6 of the 10 demo tracks (and was produced by Gil Norton, who would later produce 3 of the 5 good [i.e., Kim Deal] Pixies albums, and at least a handful of other albums you probably know). All songs were written by Hersh except for “Green”, which was written by Donelly.
- Tasting notes: Raw alt rock/post-punk, moments of Jello Biafra-/”Rock Lobster”-ish vocals, no-holds-barred debut
- Standout track: “Call Me”, “Green”, “Hate My Way”, “Vicky’s Box”
- Where are they now?: After 2 more EPs and 2 more studio albums, the Muses lineup started to change. First Langston left in 1990 and was replaced by Fred Abong, and then, after the release of their 4th studio album in 1991, Donelly and Abong left (Donelly had co-formed The Breeders with Kim Deal in 1989, and then left both bands at this time to start Belly, who Abong joined). Bernard Georges stepped in on bass, and the group continued as a trio for a few years/albums until 1997, when Hersh went to further pursue her solo work (her debut Hips and Makers, was released in 1994 between Muses albums). The group reformed around 2002 and have since put out another handful of albums. Their 11th studio album, Moonlight Concessions, was released just this March, and they have an Australia/New Zealand tour for it coming up in December.
- Side note/Spoilers (seeing as we haven’t yet got to this band that’s also on The List): Throwing Muses is partially responsible for the Pixies, as Pixies were first noticed by Gary Smith – producer of Throwing Muses’ demo and later House Tornado (1988) and Hunkpapa (1989) – while playing as the opener for a Muses show (in 1986?). Smith produced the Pixies’ demo (recorded in 1987), and they were then also signed to 4AD because of the Muses connection. Smith then also produced Pixies’ debut, Come On Pilgrim (1987), and the band was the opener for the Muses’ (1988?) tour of House Tornado. The more you know…

Happy listening!

Tanya Donelly's band Belly created two of my favorite songs of the 90s. "Gepetto" from the 1993 album Star and "Now They'll Sleep" from the album King, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

New National Anthem
I had a moment today. I put the Bruins game on the radio just in time to hear the national anthem. Given the circumstances of the day it made me feel sick. I thought I was going to vomit. National anthem, my ass. What nation would that be? The fascist states of america? That nation? Fuck that. I don’t live in the US anymore (there is no US anymore), I live in Massachusetts.
So what should we use for a new Massachusetts national anthem? The obvious choice is probably “Must Have Got Lost” by the J Geils Band. That feels a little too obvious. If we wanted to go with an instrumental song I would suggest “Foreplay” by Boston. Again, probably not the best choice.
Assuming the other five New England States join in my little Massachusetts Independence crusade and we create the United States of New England, I would go with this one…

“New England” by Tanya Donelly. That would be pretty much perfect.

The only artists I’m familiar with on this tribute album are #TanyaDonelly and #TheWeddingPresent but that’s perfectly fine, because this isn’t about any specific contributors, it’s all about POURING OUT LOVE for #RobertSmith and #TheCure !
Or at least, that’s what it means for me!

I forgot that #TanyaDonelly and the Parkington Sisters covered a late-period #SplitEnz deep cut "Devil You Know" - an unusual choice, but an ineresting take on it. https://open.spotify.com/track/5muw3805aacrMcmE8d2GjS?si=43d4f68f1a56446f
