The mid-late 90s were insanely good for independent music because people had not yet begun to just pirate everything Like just buy everything Kranky released between '93 and '01, it's all good, from Frankie Sparo to GY!BE and Labradford

Uncle Boogeyman posted:He was, actually, and used comic books to spread his message. This comic was also the inspiration behind John Lewis doing March. Seeing MLK as a guest on The Tonight Show blew my mind in a way that probably speaks more to how much I fell into the mainstream historical amnesia over the civil rights movement than anything else, the idea that someone I learned about in history class was also part of pop culture felt quite uncanny

It's my own fault for growing up in Seattle, but I still have a really hard time thinking of Foo Fighters as a real band, because to me Dave Grohl will always be "the drummer from Nirvana," and having a drummer become lead singer and guitar of a different band just seems weird, same reason I don't take Ringo Starr's band seriously. It's kinda like if Buzz Aldrin went on to be an architect, it'd be hard to judge his buildings on their own merits.

I'm gonna put this in spoiler bars because it might trigger someone from seattle but i like dave grohl more than kurt cobain, and everlong is better than anything nirvana did but also grunge music does literally nothing for me

the first Foo Fighters album was great. "alone + easy target" is a vicious condemnation of Courtney Love

Foo Fighters are really bland aside from a few songs and while Nirvana are good, they are not nearly as good as their legacy claims That's my hot take

I will say I find it hard to hate on the Foo Fighters too much because Dave Grohl does seem like one of the coolest motherfuckers on Earth, even if he writes extremely middle of the road stadium rock

If we're being literal, Kurt Cobain killed Kurt Cobain, if you want to get a bit more metaphorical I'd put the blame on either MTV or Universal Music.

So many people I know got into Sonic Youth and other, better stuff by starting with Nirvana. I think that's pretty cool. I'm not gonna ever listen to Bleach over Key Lime Pie or, hell, even That Total Age or Belief (both albums that are especially relevant to America today, and the fact that both were recorded by Germans in the 80s should say something pretty bad about America).

He does whatever he wants, shows up for small projects and small bands all the time and always just seems to be having a good time and is never up to any scummy bullshit. I mean he's a dude that's stopped shows when he's seen people be lovely in the pit and has broken his leg midshow and finished it while the doctor worked on him on stage. He just seems like a cool, nice dude.

Hey all, I'm looking to run a projector outdoors in a location where there won't be a power outlet available. I don't know how many watt/hours my unit (Epson 740HD) consumes, but I'd like to run it for about four hours off of a portable battery pack. Does anyone have experience with that kinda thing and can recommend me one?
