Briefly, I threw some of my favorite Meat Puppets songs on a playlist - that isn't to say there's not songs on MANY of their other LPs and EPs I love, but there's nothing before 1989 here. These are my Meat Puppets go-to LPs. To me, all perfect but one, which is close. In chronological order,
*Monsters (perfect)
*Forbidden Places (perfect)
*Too High to Die (perfect)
*No Joke! (perfect minus a song or two I don't like)
*Sewn Together (perfect)
*Lollipop (perfect)
*Rat Farm (perfect)
*Dusty Notes (perfect)
And this is a 17 song playlist with a lot of my favorites, too - pretty much all from those albums: https://youtu.be/ZLAnAnXziok

Too much cool new shit, that's my favorite luxury problem and it's what the past few weeks had in store, so a C-90 won't suffice this time. That, and also i totally had to add a ten-minute tune to the tracklist because why the fuck not? Dial A for fuzzed-out depravity and general mayhem. B for egg-ish dementia, quirky and forbidden fun and games for the whole family. C for darkness, death and despair. D for some beeps & bloops, followed by hits, hooks and melodies.
Early this year I posted a link to the 'Emails' video by Memphis' Tennessee's BLUFF CITY VICE but I never linked to their new full BANGER of an album that came out in January.
I listen to this constantly. It'll definitely be in my top 20 favorite albums of 2024 -- and somewhere near the top of the list. These dudes make LEGIT electro-punk. This is some of my favorite kind of stuff (and the kind of stuff I write and make myself, actually).
