Sebadoh -- Bubble and Scrape

  Lo-Fi masters first all in-studio recording and the last to feature founding member Eric Gaffney, but still done in typical Sebadoh fashion, couple loud songs, some soft songs and some Musique Concrète noise collages.  These guys are definitely my personal favorite Indie Rock band, and why the hell not, they practically single highhandedly invented the genre, yeah yeah, give or take an influence here and there, but no one perfected it like these guys!  Bubble And Scrape might not be their best album, but it's still f*ckin' awesome, who else sings better about human emotion and experience, other than Sebadoh -- especially in the 90's!   Hey and is that the Vonnegut butthole right there in the middle of the cover? I'd say YES!

By the way this was posted on Barlow's Birthday! Weird (meaning I didn't do it on purpose!)!

Meat Puppets -- Too High To Die

  Yes Yes I fully realize what the Meat Puppets did for Rock 'n' Roll, and this album was the closest  that they came to the big time success, but you know what ... I didn't like it!  The only two tunes that did do it for me were Flaming Hearts and Shine ... otherwise I'd suggest to stay away from this one and stick to the classics!

the Lemonheads -- It's A Shame About Ray

  Man oh man, I really really love this album!  There's something about it that appeals to the 17 year old girl living inside me.  It's definitely on my top 5 Indie Rock albums, if not number one and my copy is Ms. Robinson-less, which is a good thing.

Lou Barlow -- Goodnight Unknown

  Shit! Did I stay up all night and jam with some weirdos ... then my Mom walked into my apartment ... and before that had a full day facebook argument with my ex ... goddamn ... what a wonderfully terrible day!  Who better to listen to then the Indie master himself, Lou Barlow!

The Dead Milkmen -- Beelzebubba

  Fourth album by goof Punk luminaries The Dead Milkmen.  What can one really say about the Milkmen?  They make me think of the Violent Femmes, but electric and silly!!  Although this is the one that made them famous with hit track Punk Rock Girl, unfortunately after Beelzebubba things started to go down the drain ... damn fame, f*ckin' things up, again!!!

Julie Doiron -- I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day

  Released in 2009 but somehow is a modernized throwback to the 90's Eric's Trip sound and even recorded by Rick White, album by Julie Doiron.  You know what I was thinking during the duration of this ... forget Feist, Doiron is the real deal ... and she is and was a strong part of inventing the sound everybody wants today, so all power to her!

Apples In Stereo -- Science Faire

  Indie Pop Lo-Fi mega nerd alert album/ compilation by the Apples In Stereo.  What is there not too love about this 60's influenced loosey goosey band?  Nothing, because they are goddamn great!  Although word on the street is they don't like to play the old songs in concert??  That I'll never get!
