Wipers aren't shitty enough to be grunge.

agreed. i have tried for a long time to get into them, but for some reason i'm just really underwhelmed with pearl jam

Tiny Music... is probably the best 1996 album!

[infinitemusic]

Actually Pearl Jam and the Stone Temple Pilots have both released good records and are far from shitty. Probably just not "indie" enough for you?

Oh god yeah, you know how everythign I listen to has to be INDIE and totally obscure, just like Sonic Youth. Fuck off.

You must not like hip hop?

I like hip hop. This is my fave chilean rap song. The band is called Calambre.

Right from Santiago's ghetto. The lyrics are great! I wish you all could understand them.

Beyond predictable. I thought they'd be smarter and more respectable but I guess not.

So I saw this the other day at a Barnes and Noble, read through it a little, and must say it is not worth $25 in the least. A bunch of pictures and then a paragraph (Tops) about select bands, nothing you couldn't find on Wikipedia or Allmusic.

I also want to point out that the Pixies aren't name dropped anywhere in the book, don't have a single picture, nothing, then again considering one of the authors that isn't too surprising.

A strong selling point if I've ever seen one.

Various members of Pixies and Sonic Youth don't really care for each other. Kim and Thurston even did an interview once and ripped on the Pixies, it was a while back.

So since Thurston wrote the text and helped organize it, I'm saying the bad blood continues.

Could you post a link if you have it? I don't really like the Pixies much anymore, but I think this is really interesting.

Like I said, various members. Kim apparently has no qualms with them and they with her, but Thurston has made fun of Black's lyrics before (While in the same interview talking about how great Lil Kim's were if I remember correctly), and I remember Frank and Joey both saying something to the extent of "They didn't get Sonic Youth" in a 1991 interview or so, maybe earlier. I can remember Kim Gordon dissing on them a number of times, either directly or indirectly.

I just find it ironic how you put Kurt Cobain on the cover of the book, a guy who ripped off Gouge Away to unleash "Grunge" on the mainstream with Smells Like Teen Spirit, and yet don't mention that or have any other mentions of the Pixies (Or pictures), even though they were just as influential on the scene as Sonic Youth, who have over four pictures in the book (The same as Nirvana, if I remember correctly) and one of the largest paragraphs.
