Screaming Trees Even If And Especially When

Every now and then, someone appears on Debaser who "studied" music and gives lessons on how it should be understood, declaring who was good and who was bad. The problem is that those deemed foolish by these experts (with their fancy degrees) are often idolized by the very musicians that the same expert praises. I have here an interview with one of the Conner brothers from 1989, and when asked the usual question about who he liked most at the time, he says (I quote verbatim) "my favorites are Nirvana, they also come from a small town on the outskirts of Seattle and have the best imaginable approach to r'n'r." We are left wondering whether to believe matteodileonard, who studied music and claims Nirvana are crap, or to trust big brother Conner (considered a great musician by the very same matteodileonard) who is instead enthralled by them. In these cases, I am reminded of Toto's response in the film "I due colonnelli" when the Nazi major boasts about having the piece of paper...

< The comparison is out of the question, if only because "the Conner brothers" (unlike Cobain) are musicians. > in my humble opinion, this is the worst comment on the page.

With all the love I have for the Conner brothers (and I still have the vinyl in a nice translucent blue from Buzz Factory), in my very personal and subjective opinion of someone who has never picked up a guitar (but has been listening to music for far too long), they aren't even worth a hangnail of Cobain.

I can't believe you thought (I'm not saying "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard) that "Johnny B. Goode" and "Me and Bobby McGee" were songs written by the Grateful Dead :)

I'm sorry, but regardless of the tirade about hipster psychedelia, this review says little to nothing about this album. The big difference with Live/Dead, in my opinion, is that except for three original tracks, everything else is covers like "Jhonny B Goode" by Chuck Berry, "Not Fade Away" by Buddy Holly, "Me and Bobby McGee" by Kris Kristofferson (which was also reinterpreted by the late Janis), and so on. It's clear that the psychedelic side of the Dead comes out in an original piece like "The Other One," as well as their style in the beautiful "Bertha" by Garcia, not in the covers, which seem rather weak to me, with "Jhonny B Goode" at the top.

Well, I wouldn't say it's that innovative since there was already "Brainstorm" in the early '80s with poor Natalie Wood dealing with the theme "similsquid". I really like Bigelow, but this is her least personal film (and one of the ones of hers that I like the least, although it's very strong visually) since her ex-husband James Cameron had a hand in everything. Thank goodness she separated.

not only the Boom of the Sonics but also, to stay in times similar to those of the Fuzztones, that of Gravedigger V by Leighton, while Rudi Protrudi has always given me the impression that he’s more in it to score with the ladies than for the music

Already vortex, that's just how it is, today it's fascinating to think about the communist with Clarks, but who the hell among us kids back then had the money to buy Clarks? My father was a railway worker and my mother stayed home taking care of 4 children... I never saw Clarks, I protested and got beaten up anyway, for free.
