Not quite grunge and not quite polished. Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kurt_Cobain\">Kurt Cobain<\/a> and Nirvana, they appear to still be alive and touring. People who were in high school when <em>Where You Been<\/em> came out have a rather maniacal devotion to the band. I was working for a living by 93 so whatever got played on Q101 was as far into the Indie rock scene as I had time to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Youtube Sucks!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you get old you have to get up early in the morning to use the bathroom. Just a fact of life. Usually I check email. A friend from the foreign country of Oregon had sent an email. He was actually still up when I replied. We exchanged a few links to music we liked while chatting about other things. Thank God I sent him the official link to the official video for <em>Sometime Around Midnight<\/em> by The Airborne Toxic Event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight (Majordomo Version)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aKEu3EmBCzQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sometime Around Midnight &#8211; official video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sent him a few other links for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bondquartet.com\/\">Bond<\/a> tracks I like, but I sent the Youtube links instead of the official stuff from their site. <em><strong>My God the quality sucked!!!<\/strong><\/em> Are you Youtube scammers pirating your stuff with air mikes? I bought the actual CDs and MP3 files. In headphones while you are coding, they are an amazing group with very few words to distract one from power coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yeah, we talk <a href=\"https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/experience\/your-sound-system-chooses-your-music\/\">about music on here a bit<\/a>. Especially true since Greg is a retired U2 pilot <a href=\"https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/music\/stories-in-the-music\/\">who actually plays<\/a>.

Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love Phil Collins and Steve Winwood, but this is the period where nearly every track they released solo became a beer commercial. This is the time where lousy bands with a really cool or bizarre video idea would get signed because MTV actually played music videos. You are all probably too young to remember that. Seems like a nano-second of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly AC\/DC wasn&#8217;t getting any airplay and the music buying audience was screaming for something with a beat. That&#8217;s kinda how Nirvana made it when <em>so<\/em> many others didn&#8217;t. They were at least loud. Thankfully <a href=\"https:\/\/smashingpumpkins.com\/\">The Smashing Pumpkins<\/a> also got some airplay, at least in Chicago, and showed us there was hope for Indie rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Smashing Pumpkins - Today\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xmUZ6nCFNoU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Smashing Pumpkins &#8211; Today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dinosaur Jr<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a band that really embodies what Indie rock is, especially since they never really made it. Let&#8217;s be honest, most Indie rock bands sucked. They were high school bands that never got any better. Then there were gems like Dinosaur Jr which could do a few things great and only sucked at one or two obvious things. In the case of Dinosaur Jr, it was\/is the vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dinosaur Jr - Start Choppin&#039;\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z_-JapMQUPQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dinosaur Jr &#8211; Start Choppin&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you clicked the original link you will see the 30th anniversary edition has been released on vinyl for the trust fund baby audiophiles. You do need a fairly descent sound system to make out the lyrics, but the riffs are great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This band didn&#8217;t fall into the trap of &#8220;every song will just be this.&#8221; Too many bands of this era had someone who wasn&#8217;t bad on guitar but everything else sucked so every song became a massive guitar solo. It wasn&#8217;t just guitars. Some had a singer that could growl so every song had to have a growl. Even bands that made it fell into this trap. When <a href=\"http:\/\/www.van-halen.com\/\">Van Halen<\/a> was getting airplay initially every song of theirs on the radio had a scream in it. Michael Jackson had that high pitched &#8220;Hi Hi&#8221; or &#8220;Hey Hey&#8221; or however one types it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s almost like Dinosaur Jr knew they didn&#8217;t have vocals because they are really muted in this official video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dinosaur Jr - Goin&#039; Home\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/30h3HWSarDA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dinosaur Jr &#8211; Goin&#8217; Home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Name Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is interesting is how the name changes for Indie rock. It was &#8220;garage bands&#8221; then &#8220;local acts&#8221; (or vice versa). For a while it was &#8220;regional bands.&#8221; It didn&#8217;t become &#8220;Indie Rock&#8221; until record labels wanted something new to market. A band I love, which has only one living member now, came and went before the 80s really happened and well before Indie rock became a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Last One Of The Night People\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QUR31u7LLGM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah &#8211; Last One of the Night People<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They embodied what we now call Indie rock though.
