The dream syndicate, “tell me when it’s over”

There aren’t many bands or songs out there you can point to and say “this changed my life” but this band and song did. It contains one of the dirtiest guitar licks ever recorded, an earworm of melody and noise. They helped me discover the Velvet Underground 🍌(and kick-started the so-called Paisley Underground movement that gave birth to the Bangles among others). My band could even play this song and it sounded BOSS (not every cover did, ha). So simple anyone could play it; but only THEY could write it. I wrote about the PaIsley Underground years later for Magnet: https://magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/one-nation-underground-the-story-of-the-paisley-underground/ God bless Steve Wynn and Co 🎶 this one's still a keeper many decades later.

Please do not go - violent femmes

A classic that I can’t stop listening to today. Old school yearning but make it folk punk and funny and also add the sickest acoustic bass solo ever

GOING IN BLIND

My god everything is experienced better this way. Stop looking at guides, walkthroughs, endings explained (my least favorite), even the blurbs on the back. Such a rare opportunity in this time to go into something without knowing anything about it, yet so rewarding. To be pleasantly surprised or blown away, to have no idea what’s happening, to find that you really didn’t like it, an opinion formed on your own.. nothing is more valuable
