I saw Nirvana with Mudhoney & Tad on the Subpop tour.
I know it's got nothing to do with whatever the fuck you're all talking about but i thought i'd put it out there.


Too metal for bassy's tastes. Even if it's indie metal. In Bassy's words grunge bands were all "jumping on the grunge bandwagon".

How were Dillinger Escape Plan?

You stated that reggae is the coolest music and shoegaze is the second cooleest. Why are you playing what is at best, according to you, the third coolest type of music?

And when can we hear some of this experimental krautrock?


you can't, it's going to be really underground that only the ones doing it are allowed to listen to it. That way it stops it from becoming too commercial.

got a good name though that i came up with.

Why not? How were Pearl Jam "jumping on the grunge bandwagon" but Mudhoney weren't? What's the difference?

if you're going to go for obscure/strange, make it sound like someone is slamming their head onto a synth, with a woman screaming in the background and occasionally children singing.

Early 90s Shoegaze Top Trumps score: 1/10

you get the 1 because it's very possible to do some spazzy shoegazing dancing to "Selected Ambient Works Vol 1".
