hola amigos! there’s a pretty righteous instore going on today at criminal, for those of you in the atlanta area. seminal trashy grunge party rockers, supersuckers, are playing, like i said at criminal, @ 7 pm-ish. they are part of the so-co fest thats going on tomorrow at centennial olympic park - its free and the gates open at 3 pm. the only other band that i have heard of that is performing is against me - liked their first two, the last one not so much. here’s a few supersucker tracks.

hayden’s in town and field came out a few weeks back, which i absolutely forgot about until i visited aquarium drunkard yesterday. as with a lot of records its been on the ipod, but haven’t given it much time for some bullshit reason. so, gave it a couple of spins last night and its quite good. it’s definitely not my favorite, that belongs to skyscraper national park, but it’s a nice listen. if you are a neil young fan, you will probably dig hayden.
pick up a few hayden records on eMusic. they have a 50 free download special goin on right now, btw.
i, admittedly, dont know much, outside of blister and add it up, about the violent femmes. whilst in college i used to sleep with a young lady that loved the femmes, but wouldn’t let her listen to them in my presence - yeah i used to be a major pain in the ass. so, when i stumbled across this femmes show from hamburg, germany on 2.7.84, i figured i would finally give em a chance. pretty cool stuff i must admit and for any femmes fan, which one is their best?
1. girl trouble
2. good feeling
4. promise
10. gone daddy gone
11. to the kill
12. misery blues
13. black girls
14. confessions
15. add it up
their best is probably their self titled where most of the hits came from
I agree. The self-titled has held up remarkably well and features most of their best known songs…my favorite being “Good Feeling”. I haven’t many of their albums but from what I understand, there’s a few other pretty good ones.
I’ll go against the grain here and say that “Why Do Birds Sing” is the album to buy. I think it’s a more mature (if there is such a thing) album than their first and it sounds so good.
“American Music” is the single that should have made the group a fortune, but sadly, didn’t.
cool, thanks dudes. i’ll probably just go ahead and take both for a spin and see how they fare. loved american music, and probably gets played more today than when it was released.
I’m late to the party, but I think you should pick up the Femmes’ live album “Viva Wisconsin.”
It’s basically a greatest hits set with almost everything from the first album (Sadly no “Please Do Not Go” though) and several of their best songs from the other albums.
