Time for your next installment of 90s nostalgia. If you have request please add to the comments. Today we have a mix of east coast, west coast and the local in-between. First up is a ball cracking lead off by the indie legends Drive Like Jehu. How many bands put DLJ as an influence? I know that we tried to do the fucked-up-changes-from-nowhere in some of our tunes. Drive Like Jehu were the San Diego sound. I never got to see them because they never toured in our area. Matt said that this song , Caress, (http://www.mediafire.com/?5eimmemwv4h ) makes him want to run through a wall.Moving west I'm giving you Liquid (Live) ( http://www.mediafire.com/?1ardyzq3max) by the original lineup of Evergreen. Here in Louisville, when this band played, it was an event. I remember that they once had a pimp contest at the Machine. This is from the tape-only release Go Cart Ride. This incarnation was more Minutemen/reggae/funk influence. Listen for the rubber band bass!
Lastly we have my favorite song off of one of my favorite albums: The Breeders' Pod . The album sucks you in with the Albini production. The guitars, drums, and vocals are prefectly engineered. I like the buildup of Iris ( http://www.mediafire.com/?b3nxz1uxbmd ) . I starts out like a bad hangover. Then it explodes with drum thunder. I love it.
