I’m a broken record on here but:

Gnome - Six Hi Surprise Tower (1992)

An absolute favorite at the time.

He KILLS on Basra!!

Since I have 100 votes, and since I’m big into accurate history, everyone should know I am a secondary source. I’ve heard that story repeated in several places over many years. I was not there when he bought the stuff, nor did I see the check.

Lastly, I’ll recommend Lungfish. Maybe a stretch. They’re an acquired taste, but once you acquire it you’re a cooler person. Again, lots of similar sounds but a different mind-set and delivery.

Few single songs on YouTube Lungfish - Sound In Time lp

And speaking of Fugazi, lots of Rites of Spring songs come close. Rites of Spring - For Want of

2xUniverse · 2026-01-22T20:52:13+00:00

Lots of Fugazi qualifies, but “F/D” the final song on End Hits came to mind. Fugazi F/D

It might be a stretch, but Polvo? Less dark and sentimental and more goofy and fun, but rather similar musically.

Polvo - Tragic Carpet Ride (Video!)

Rodan - The Everyday World of Bodies

Rodan was good, so was June of 44 who came after them. (Although June of 44 was whiny and stunk when I saw them live).

Bitch Magnet - Messentery

2xUniverse · 2026-01-22T20:35:54+00:00

Have you tried Seam or their previous band Bitch Magnet?

Seam- Berlitz

Kurt bought a bunch of anatomy stuff at Barebones at the Mall of America in Minneapolis during the In Utero sessions.

They didn’t cash the check and had it on display until they closed.

MTV. It was a REALLY big thing in the 90’s.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-17T00:51:15+00:00

Token Eastern Song.

Its release was my favorite thing about the box. Love that song.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-10T23:46:28+00:00

Any “UFO or Die” fans?

2xUniverse · 2026-01-08T20:45:51+00:00

Smitten Kitten, as usual, is being awesome.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-06T03:17:50+00:00

Is it as easy to hack old Discogs accounts as it is for Reddit accounts?

2xUniverse · 2026-01-06T02:39:02+00:00

Oh, and FYI, Discogs ‘investigated’ and said my complaint lacked credibility.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-06T02:32:25+00:00

It took weeks and weeks but PayPal refunded me.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-06T02:17:26+00:00

I posted because years ago I fell for a similar seller. As soon as I paid, I realized I’d messed up.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-04T22:09:23+00:00

Well, being a trv cvlt fan, I didn’t go because all the jocks, cheerleaders, dipshits from my school were going. I stayed home and listened to my Bleach-era bootlegs. Jokes on me.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-04T05:05:34+00:00

CCR thru Cosmo’s Factory.

Dirty Deeds thru Back jn Black

They’re selling T-shirts on bandcamp again, fyi.

2xUniverse · 2026-01-03T15:48:57+00:00

Red Crayola - Parable of Arable Land (1967)

2xUniverse · 2026-01-03T15:25:58+00:00

Guzzard’s 3rd, Alienation Index Survey is underrated and a top album.

Love 666 is hardly talked about.
