Pre-Order Thread

I feel recently like I'm getting even more into Nirvana than I was back in the day - something about their use of melody that really grabs me. Quite possibly a top 10 band for me now...

I mean I like them and they’re very good I just always feel they were more important, in terms of cleansing the palate and wiping away the worst aspects of the previous scenes, than they were top order. I won’t criticise them but they’re a long long way from top 10 for me.

I seem to remember the NME fawning over the trio of The Strokes, The Vines and The White Stripes. Then our own scene seemed to explode the year after. The Flaming Lips were around then too but they seemed to be off doing their own mad thing and both fitted in perfectly with everything without being a part of anything.

I want to say that the Arcade Fire weren’t a apart of that and didn’t emerge for a further 3 or 4 years?

I love oral histories. This was one of 3 music related books I read last year (the others Being The Beastie Boys Book & Tweedy) all were great but Lizzy Goodman’s Book was a huge slice of nostalgia for me personally, I was just out of high school and living on my own for the first time when the whole NYC revival thing got going. It was responsible (along with an assist from Pitchfork) for helping me move beyond the jam band rut I had been in for most of High School. Nu Metal lost me pretty early on when Korn and Limp Bizkit would go on TRL and pal around with the likes of the Backstreet Boys whatever initial edginess that style of music had faded super quickly with me. But I digress, check out that book if ya get a Chance it’s a pretty quick read.

I don't think I'd be able to ignore @Captainfog even if I wanted to since he's an admin, but that's a good thing to keep in mind cause that sounds exactly like something I would do

Yeah....I didn’t mean to but at some point I did (no sure how but know now) and could no longer find the threads (like they disappeared) except where I bookmarked them.
