Hi, cool friend. If you've got here is because you have already learned to fly solo in a while. You stopped listening to pop Tide to spend the Saxon and his minions for some time and willingly paid for a ticket to a play of La Fura. And even were. But then, you who believed in the crest of the wave and champion of a new intellectual elite saw it coming the host that I was preparing reality: gafapastas with friends you start collecting. You could not with them, were too much for you ... When you were told that you had discovered Joy Division laughed in your face because they have long listened to Anthony Braxton and when you said how good it was Requiem for a dream they arose from the table and said they were going to an Iranian film series with that twang in his voice. Not that was a different league, it was another sport. Now you are afraid to go to buy clothes to pull or H & M for sure they have their own tailor.
But here we are. To save.
A time has come to know something: the urban tribe to which both want to be in there. It's a pipe dream and as such there is nothing to do: you can not be part of something that does not exist! And there because the axis on which its existence is structured does not really exist. The indie rock is a lie. We discuss this issue in more advanced lessons Bloj , which will now be your Paper Red-but for now you just take our word. Do not worry, not be the first to assume as true without proof throughout your life, much less the latter. At least we are nice.
What can you do now that you realize you live in a lie? For starters, change your music. I feel good that you love having you follow your old-well, not so old-disc catchy guitars and vocals mellow. I can still keep and no matter that you follow these kittens coming out ever. Talk about being worth Interpol can follow you to flirt, you know, do not care. We speak of a change in the deep inner music. A change of attitude towards life. Consider it a twist in the wheel of Karma. And here is where there are different schools of thought, so I shall mine, waiting for the other writers of this holy house and shut up and give me the reason: you download a few classic albums from the late 80's and from there follow . Why? Well, it's pretty simple. Everyone knows, at least everyone with good taste, that 80's were a decade evil of two decades of musical joy. Something like tacky Decade. The seventy are still too much for you, you are still fresh. You could not withstand a Black Sabbath album without thinking about what pain in the ass and old it is. And you'd be wrong. The nineties, that is the decade cool where we focus now emerged a few important records, all before this decade and which glistened in the 80 between such mediocrity. Here we go:
- Hüsker Dü - Warehouse: Songs and Stories. The heyday of post-punk. Cleaner and more beautiful than the rest of the Hüsker Dü, but also much more rounded.
- Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me or any other album of his. The bible of the underground. Sonic Youth for people who still are people.
- Sebadoh - III. A little later, as is 91, but I'll stick it because I get the balls. The twist he needed to Lou Barlow, the head above referenced group. The beginning of indie, if such a thing has ever existed.
- Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Second album of these other priests of the alternative. Possibly as good as the Slanted & Enchanted-doubt which one to recommend, but much more in your face.
- Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary. The epitome of emo was cool. Yes, I said emo was cool. Seriously. Also, with my sincere love-love-by the gruesome stories of musicians, these people I'm excited.
- Sonic Youth - EVOL and Daydream Nation. The parents of this. His work is like mixing the rock and roll of a lifetime and a copy of the anthology Poetry of Juan Ramón Jiménez and you get this: something that is rock by chance and much thicker. The spiritual sons of the Velvet.
- Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Steven. If Hendrix was born a few years later and had finished playing punk and taking more drugs, had come from. A little less rare than the first disc, but this is an introductory course and do not want saturaros.
- Slint - Spiderland. Although lately I've developed an aversion to post-rock peers here bloj can attest, this album is amazing. The same is because it is really original, not post-modern rock, which is based on slow play and put the songs weird names, and only that.
- Guided by Voices. Molaban not much or were so famous-all famous musician becomes an underground, in the eighties and did not give too, rather flourished in the nineties with their air garageros / progressive, so are a bit out of the main selection . But the kids deserve a listen, yes.
