@wendigo exactly. I love it, they used to intentionally piss people off 🤣 hilarious. Yeah, I mean, they got the attention of Flea, Kim, Kurt obviously and even guys like Dave Pirner from Soul Asylum, I found out he's a huge Puppets fan too.

A monster album for me when I was in high school.
Being a total devotee of all things Sub Pop in the #90s , this one hit me in a way that none of the label’s other releases at the time.
I remember buying it on tape, & it taking me at least a week to get past the first 3 songs, because I kept rewinding it after Song For An Angel and playing those 3 over & over.
@TheVinylApe First three songs really are the best on the album. The rest of the album's still solid, but I find they all start to kind of blend together after those first few for me.
I'm highly aggressive with my passions for JUSTICE! Aggressive for HUMAN RIGHTS! Aggressive against colonial OPPRESSORS! Lifelong duties ✊️🦅❤️
Fuck your patriarchy standards. Women can be highly & efficiently aggressive too. We just get shamed for that, while men get rewarded for exact same shit.
It matters a lot if you keep showing up & cops don't. All of that has to be documented on public record. All of that helps boost your cause & also help with any additional legal suits, to follow. Please show up & ensure your court attendance is officially recorded & take a photo of that official confirmation too(you have legal rights to ask for & obtain permission to do this).
Sometimes YouTube does you right. Reminded me of this song from the 'Born Again Pagans' EP Coil did in 1995, when they felt they were communicating with a spiritual entity named ELpH as they made it. Wild, huh?
GREAT song, too - the whole EP is killer. Hearing this right after it came out when I was in my mid teens was wiiiild
"There [used to be] regionalism in music. You knew where your band was from the same way you knew your sports team. We knew The Cars were from Boston. We knew R.E.M. was from Athens. We knew The Ramones were from New York. When you went to Minneapolis, Soul Asylum would be on the radio."
I have another one for #TuneTuesday and #SameTitleDifferentSong. This one often comes to mind for me, too. The third one is missing the 'ing' but I'm still counting it, especially since Dave played for Tom and they were friends. I love the SHIT outta all THREE of these songs.
@wendigo@Kitty haha thank you - I managed to nail the big ones I usually think of. Strangely, both sets start by being Floyd related. And the circle is unbroken, by and by 😂
@bendaubney@sarajw I never had cable growing up, but I DID have a dual VCR. hahaha. My friends would tape 120 minutes, the MTV stuff - and I'd compile them tape to tape. I had those 3 Elastica videos on probably the favorite VHS compilation I made, this is probably why they're my favorite. And of course I had the album via either BMG or Columbia House hahaha
Starting Sunday off with an extremely underrated STP album.
Although they were pretty much done being a regular touring act due to Scott’s “issues” (I was lucky enough to see them three times), they were still able to make really great studio albums, of which I think No. 4 is the last TRULY great one.
It’s a great balance of early raucous STP (Down) and the more moody textural material (Sour Girl, Atlanta). #vinyl#vinylrecords#90s#90smusic
@Whiskeyomega I have all of them, and my pressings of each album sound fantastic so I would never need to re-buy them myself.
However, they ARE in desperate need of a reissue so that they’re readily available for people.
You’d think that any album that’s sold over a million copies would be readily available.
@TheVinylApe The core pressing i just got another world. Its like listening to the album for the first time all over again. My best sounding vinyl. Even people on discogs that seemingly have every pressing say this AP one is the best. Id be interested on your take if you ever hear it. The only thing that came to mind when listening was it was like having your soul rattled.

2018 U.S. 2xLP Reissue
One of the greatest #powerpop albums of the #90s if not all time.
This is one of my Desert Island Discs, and not even Ken Stringfellow’s horrible atrocious behaviour can effect my love for it. There is not one musical misstep, not a single flaw to be found anywhere.
Auer and Stringfellow never reached these heights again. Just one of those lightning in a bottle type albums, but what a bolt it was.
