Schwarbomb! (At last!)

Matt Stairs-like!

The Beatles get too much credit. Their success is built on Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly and etc., and if the Beatles had never existed teenagers would have gone crazy for Herman's Hermits and The Hollies or somebody. (just kidding, mostly)

"f I have Nevermind, why would I bother with Bleach aside from the odd song or two?"

Can't blame the band for the audience's clothing. (I was probably rocking a fisherman sweater those days. But boat shoes? Never.) Business major Brent! What an asshole!

I think we can agree that even with "About a Girl," BLEACH is not the ninth best album of this year. Is EARWIG better? Today it is. Going with Juliana.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Long before Sabrina Carpenter was a glint in Disney Channel producers' eyes, NC delivered the original "Manchild." And "Buffalo Stance" is certainly one of the best singles of 1989! But I am going with the hypnotic, otherworldly DIFFERENT TRAINS.

We might quibble over the ordering, but this is the right five!

Listen, I’m really happy the Eagles won that game, but today is all about making sure the Mets lose and miss the playoffs

I like Cracker more than CVB and I like "Pictures of Matchstick Men" (even if it's a cover) more than "No Myth." But do I like MARCH more than KLP? In a tie, I usually go with whoever has the janglier guitars, but today I'll throw my vote to the underdog.

The Wedding Present covering Pavement in 1989 proves they were ahead of their time. Jangle rockers who could crank it up to 11. Got my vote!

On your recommendation, I just listened to "2541." A gem. Never would have found it without this cheer.

I have to admit I first heard Bob through Sugar and the early 90s alternative era. I missed the heyday of Husker Du and never really listened to his solo stuff before. What's the best off Workbook?

I played "See a Little Light" this morning since that was my favorite from Workbook. It's fine. Reminds me of Billy Bragg.

Then I played "Because I Got It Like That" and there's no contest. Jungle Brothers got it going on. So on to the next round.
