that's not an insult the consistency is impressive & inspiring but do they ever go proggy or anything
lol, I was going to say, that's not fair, between 1985 and 1988 and since 2007 they've had two, with the Lou songs

I heard “Little Fury Things” on my return commute today, and I was reminded of how beautiful and wistful it is. Also, nothing on their post-reunion albums approach its greatness or the highs on You’re Living/Bug/Green Mind

they just became a more conventional rock band, an excellent one but not quite the same i agree

Seems crazy that the beginning of this thread was 20 years ago!

J’s guitar tone may be the most comforting sound I know.

I saw them in a small club in 1987. You're Living All Over Me held up well last time I checked, but I don't know much after that except "Freak Scene." I think I'd see this, though.

I hope Dave Grohl's in it lots.

Nice. Will definitely seek this out. They're *still* strangely enigmatic to me.

Jamming the 1991 Hollywood show that came with the Green Mind reissue from a few years back, I love this band.

Mascis does some stellar guitar work on Sunburned Hand of Man's "Prix Fixe" from this year that's definitely worth seeking out.

Didn’t like as much as I expected to though
Nope. Sounds like Guitar Center.

Agree, it was just sort of cool they played a MBV song and then the Cure cover but the performance was just sort of there.

I read about Richard Aoyade guesting with the band this morning. But not sure when was that the same London show.Hadn't known he played guitar before that. Think it was Lou's feed on FB.

They should have got Graham Linehan to sing Don't

His new single is pretty much out there. Music that makes me happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOgibRJxp8g
