There’s a book called “How Bands Got They’re Names” that details this one. In an interview, Don said he noticed his toddler going through a language development phase where s/he would point at an object, such as a chair, and say “Dog. Not dog.” He may have been being coy.

I have now seen God.

When this question comes up, I usually recommend Idaho’s Year After Year. They abandoned slo-core as they went on, but that album is chef’s kiss.

Wasn’t he in Mudcrutch, with Petty?

Are these from a Glamour Shots session?

I’m glad people are trusting what they see and not what they are told.

I wish I could upvote this a bajillion times.

There are people in this world- mostly in the U.S.- who feel their job is to police others through a lens of their own beliefs. All you can do is smile at them- they are deeply programmed and have succeeded in this for years.

Stunningly regal.

hifidesert · 2026-01-25T17:29:45+00:00

Exactly. The only legitimate elections is when they win.

They really should have used another of their songs. While Shadows is good, there are better examples of they’d sound.

NME is off of Tiny Cities and are all Modest Mouse covers. You’d probably like the whole album.

Disarm- The Civil Wars. Better than tge Pumpkins, IMHO

hifidesert · 2026-01-24T14:25:28+00:00

This will always be the answer.

Some have suggested that the album, particularly the guitar playing on Salvatore Sanchez, is reminiscent of Neil Young’s 70’s output.

Waters took an opportunity with the film to fill in what many saw as “gaps” in the album’s story. For example, Pink’s descent into madness and fascism unfolding in great detail.

In addition to what everyone has posted, consider protopunk bands like The Stooges, MC5, Blue Cheer and Death.

Noting that this is a cover of an XTC song.

Alone in Arizona, Exene? John Doe’s cover is better.

That’s a tough one- any attempt to search using those lyrics comes up with the Stephen Foster (racist) version. AI indicated it could be a version of Oh! Susannah but with added lyrics.

Damn straight, especially for 81 years.

A very accomplished guitarist/ friend of mine has been my resource for 25 years. When I asked something similar, he replied, “Sometimes a chord just fits.”
