Out of nowhere, it turns out that the writers of '90s teen drama My So-Called Life listened to some seriously good music. Music From the Television Series My So-Called Life was found for $2 at the Record Archive on East Ave. Well apparently $2 can buy you tracks by Juliana Hatfield, Buffalo Tom, The Lemonheads, Archers of Loaf, the Afghan Whigs, Daniel Johnston and a little band known as SONIC YOUTH.
Coincidentally, some of these guys are makin headlines today, and with a little help from MySpace (of which I am not a member for no explicable reason) I will share their music.
Greg Dulli, formerly of the Afghan Whigs, is out to make cocaine hip again by releasing Powder Burns as the Twilight Singers. On behalf of our generation, thank you Greg Dulli.
Daniel Johnston is not only a subject in my previous entry but is also a Hollywood hit! The Devil and Daniel Johnston is winning all sorts of olive branches and critic's palms and things. His MySpace is only valuable insofar as he has for all intents and purposes no friends. However, here is a massive video of Daniel playing the Bug Jar, putting on a great show, and then being interviewed by a well-meaning puppeteer who is seemingly oblivious to the fact that Daniel is brilliant and thus inpenetrable to normal conversation and on another plane entirely.
Sonic Youth used to be a great rock band. And apparently they still are. Also of note: Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth is a Rochester native. Something feels inherently wrong in linking to MySpace in the context of Sonic Youth so here is a track from their new album Rather Ripped available on cred-less Geffen Records. Come on, they signed their own daughters to a deal. But i'm down with what thurston and co. are still doing.
Buffalo Tom are still alive, still in Boston. What I would give to be in Massachusetts from the mid-eighties to mid-nineties. Oh wait, I was. I wait, I was a child and if I was into Wolf Colonel and Sebadoh that would just be WEIRD. Anyways, MYSPACE, GO!
