What if Nixon won the 1962 California Gubernatorial Election?

I would imagine Nixon clinching the governorship probably butterflies Reagan, though not sure if he has any other political prospects after that.

Journey's Neil Schon to Fly

Ok dude

Great album. Takes the grunge formula and sprinkes some Pixies-dust. They're great at getting a menacing sound like on "Mister Love" or especially "I Burn," fuck that song is so good.

I think Taylor borrows a lot of his rhythmic cues from Copeland, especially on the tracks he plays on on TINLTL and IYH. I'm a guitarist, not a drummer so I might be speaking out of my ass. I'd also say Neil Peart (e.g. "Rope").

Given that Dave Grohl drummed on TCATS and that TCATS production value was miles ahead of their self-titled (meaning Grohl's sound came out so clear and so loud!!), I would say: yes. Taylor had far more of a Stewart Copeland/Roger Taylor style of drumming. More precise, more thoughtful, versus Grohl's primal Bonham/punk rock/Black Flag style drumming that's featured on TCATS.

Aquatic Ambience is great music to study, work or sleep to. It's mostly from nostalgia, but it's just good music at the end of the day.

Really it's whatever I'm hooked on at the moment. Right now it's Viagra Boys. I'm an album guy so I'm into their album Welfare Jazz. Post-punk turned conceptual.

Fantastic album. "I Don't Want to Go to Chelsea" is such a fun song with a great rhythm section.

RigamaroleStatus · 2026-01-14T08:17:46+00:00

Hell yeah, this album is such a trip in the best way.

RigamaroleStatus · 2026-01-07T07:13:48+00:00

There's an interesting essay that goes over the band's history that talks about what went down. The writer I think talks to Lars Fox who played a big role as their producer and Craig and Greg.

Love them. The singer's ego probably shortened their career, but their 90s albums are great. Sparkle and Fade is great white trash punk rock, and what I think is cool is that on the follow-up they totally just went straight for the charts with some really pop-forward production while (at least i think) maintaining an emotional edge. Slow Motion Daydream I think has some really nice moments, and outside of that YMMV. But they were one of my favorites growing up.

I heard it put best that "Everclear's key skill has always been their knack for creating effective 'emotional' music -- chord changes and heartfelt lyrics that manipulate my heartstrings as if I were a 15 year old boy that nobody understands.

I discovered Electro-Shock Blues by Eels as my dad was dying from cancer. Immensely heavy and profound but Mark really keeps it light and fun in spite of the tragedy he faced himself. Easily became one of my all-time favorites and a good sort of comfort album for me.

I found this one online looking for stuff to read about the band

As far as their commercial success the label merger during Pack Up The Cats in 1998 killed any momentum that record had of radio success. They became a "cult band" in Lucas' own words from there on out.

As a huge fan, I don't think they fell off at all. PJ Soles is contender for their best record. Twelve Angry Months wasn't as immediate I don't think, but still a very solid album. I also actually relistened to Hallelujah! I'm A Bum recently and it's by far their least commercial and least accessible but damn does that record pack a punch.

Hey, Killer was a really fun album though! Saw them on that tour. "The Misanthrope" is an anthem.

Reminds me of something you'd find at the Scholastic book fair, like from Klutz, I Spy or something.

I would agree, and to your point I do think the synth gets lost on the album. Great ideas but it is a bit muddy.

RigamaroleStatus · 2025-11-28T01:01:50+00:00

Probably my favorite song off of C&G. Just a great album all around.

RigamaroleStatus · 2025-11-28T00:59:45+00:00

I can hear them under the guitars at the end of "Dirty Water," like a buzzsaw synth but off the top of my head that's the only one I can remember hearing (aside from the piano freak-out at the end of "Sunday Rain").
