ubc (university) radio stn citr
brave new waves (RIP, cbc radio latenite)
nirvana
soundgarden
ministry
sonic youth
rem
billy bragg
matthew sweet
red hot chili peppers
grunge-punk bands at all-ages place with a halfpipe in it
lenny kravitz 'are you gonna go my way' but only in bf's car on sunny days

it is hard to remember and i did not have any $ to buy cds, so it was radio or tapes friends made me + a few cds (mostly sonic youth & rem)

it is prob not hard to guess what year this was (also, evryone at my highschool listened to r&b and everyone at university had just discovered pearl jam 10 b/c 'even flow' was being played on muchmusic's non-alt shows lol... it was the year i discovered that i did not in fact like pearl jam all that much anyway.)

man, i have a crazy matthew sweet curse. i tried to see him like 4 times in high school and each time something happened, like the show getting canceled due to hurricane.

I did beat Castlevania while listening to Girlfriend on repeat though.

― Yerac, Monday, 14 May 2007 13:41 (eighteen years ago)

my dubbed tapes of girlfriend + nevermind + above radio got me through highschool finals, university/scholarship applications, etc. like, the sound of a tape turning over makes me feel like i should be writing something. or in someone's car.

― rrrobyn, Monday, 14 May 2007 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

the first time i tried to see m sweet i got turned away b/c it was at a bar and i was underage w/o fake id :( which is dumb b/c that album really appealed to 17 yr old girls, i thought. i saw him later open for indigo girls at an oppulent venue! i did not stay for all of indigo girls. then i saw him open for lloyd cole! that was a long time ago and i have not seen him since.

― rrrobyn, Monday, 14 May 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

and there was the latest album by my favorite band during high school, the one band that surpassed Joy Division, Sonic Youth and Severed Heads....

http://www.songlyricscollection.com/lyrics/p/pop-will-eat-itself/the-looks-or-the-lifestyle/the-looks-or-the-lifestyle.jpg

Not nearly as good as the two that preceeded it, though.

― dan selzer, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

Of course they haven't aged as well as Joy Division, Sonic Youth or Severed Heads...

I was 18 last summer and I spent a lot of time listening to Built to Spill and Howlin' Rain and bland indie-pop.

― bernard snowy, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:39 (eighteen years ago)

i guess, when i was 18, i was also listening to a lot of the same stuff i do now. arab on radar, the dead c (thanks sonic youth fan forums), charalambides, forcefield, landed, can (thanks cheap used copy of tago mago at armageddon shop), minutemen, neil young and so on. it wasn't /that/ long ago. but definitely more indie rock & bad hardcore.

― ian, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

like, i was also listening to Orchid a lot at the time. and portraits of past.

and bardo pond were one of my favorite bands to listen to when i wld get high after school, before my mom or sister were home. that was around age 16 though. also thanks to sonic youth fan forums. and of course pavement and shit.

― ian, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:47 (eighteen years ago)

I used to post on alt.music.sonic-youth...back when Thurston would show up as "fempriest".

― dan selzer, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:51 (eighteen years ago)

i read alt.music.sonic-youth, but i was way too young and naive to know if thurston was posting anything at the time. i think there are a few other alt.music.s-y people posting to ILM too, now and then.

― ian, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

weird i used to post there too...very very occasionally...didnt know the thurston thing

― bb, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

Ramones
Talking Heads
Sonic Youth

Legendary Pink Dots
Suicide
DK/Lard/Klaus Flouride/etc...

Boredoms, Boredoms and more Boredoms. My poor hippie mother. I feel sorry I had to put through all that. But not really.

it's only because of calum aka 'bobby bedilia' or whatever that i don't trust alliterative nicknames. that being said, drew and barry are both in the good folder.

― King Kitty, Monday, 14 May 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

buncha old punk, bad hardcore, metal, electronica, 80's industrial and a smattering of indie-schmindie shit.

pretty much the foundation of what i listen to now.

yeah i guess i should put "rave tapes" on this list, which was just the generic name for the tapes that friends had made me. i don't remember what any of it was other than "loud, badly dubbed techno." i didn't start buying electronic albums in the end of my freshman year of college.

― strongohulkington, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

94. i didn't really learn the art of obscurantism until a few years later. still listening to highschool stuff. mostly lots of native tongue type hip hop. think i just started getting into jazz. beatles, zep, pearl jam, smashing pumkins, hendrix. first year in college, a dorm neighbor introduced me into pavement, archers of loaf, sunny day realestate.

― jaxon, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

Does anyome remember a band called Fuck You This Is Rice? I had that when I was 18 or so

I wish I had known there was so much more to the Talking Heads than "Burning Down The House" at 18. It could've changed my entire life. sigh

― dmr, Monday, 14 May 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

I was way into the Fall when I was in 8th grade, or whenever Frenz Experiment came out, but by the end of high school early college I had given up on post-punk for John Zorn and techno. Then a year later I jumped back in. Had to re-buy all the Joy Division records I'd given away.

son volt (trace is still one of my favorite albums fuck the haters)

that the one with that "yer causing it to drown" song? that was catchy but i don't remember much of the rest of the album.

any other rocket from the crypt fans besides jess?

i started this thread because i listened to Scream Dracula Scream about three times this weekend.

i was fanatical about them.

i saw them (rocket) once, their drummer was awesome. they were opening for superchunk (i think) so my attentions weren't really focused on RFTC.

son volt (trace is still one of my favorite albums fuck the haters)

yeah it's good. too bad he made the same record ten times in a row after that. :(

saw son volt at a free outdoor show last year, they did cortez the killer for the encore :)

― dmr, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

what i listened to at 18, pre-college radio station: Toad, Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Replacements, Connells. thank you college radio!

― Mr. Que, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

i met Ned Raggett via the RFTC listserv.

His roomate (ILXor "donut" i think) was the list admin. My best friends and I stayed at thier house when I was 19 and we all went to this big July 4th outdoor festival that rocket was playing. Boredoms went on right before them. Sonic Youth headlined but thier van with all thier gear and notebooks got stolen the night before.

indie shame vs. emo shame.

i have both. listened to tons of promise ring, sunny day real estate, jeremy enigk, early jimmy eat world, cursive, lync, boy's life, jejune

any other rocket from the crypt fans besides jess?

yes sir. i would believe tim, vahid and shasta would be fans too.

― jaxon, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:56 (eighteen years ago)

jaxon please tell me you were a LIFETIME fan.

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:58 (eighteen years ago)

also, re: early jimmy eat world:

when i was 17 and my little brother was 13, his first show was seeing JEW in a shithole punk club w/ only about 25 other people. We lived in AZ so they were still "local" even though they had had an album on Capital for a year. I still love most of that record.

EMO SHAME.

yeah i basically stopped paying attention to them after the second album was so samey.

i don't remember lifetime, but i did love 764 Hero & Hush Harbor

― jaxon, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:12 (eighteen years ago)

bjork, portishead, deerhoof, sonic youth, scattering of nin, tori amos, cat power, bouncing souls, ani difranco, jeff buckley (you are not alone, rw!!!), jane's addiction, tool, etc. and a bunch of anne sofie von otter and cecilia bartoli (classical singers), i.e., nothing particularly interesting!

― tehresa, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:14 (eighteen years ago)

Fugazi, DJ Shadow, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Mingus, Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, De La Soul, The Roots, Beck. I was a corny soulful wite dude.

― Hurting 2, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:26 (eighteen years ago)

lifetime is still one of my favorite bands of all time. we used to see ari and dan at new brunswick hxc shows all the time--ari's post-lifetime bands suck but KID DYNAMITE and PAINT IT BLACK are both great.

― max, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:40 (eighteen years ago)

i guess ari only had zero zero but they were no fucking KID DYNAMITE who i think might be better than lifetime

― max, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:41 (eighteen years ago)

max how long ago were you 18?

i definitely had some SDRE, promise ring etc albums.. but i think they were mostly gone by the time i was 18.

― ian, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:43 (eighteen years ago)

im 21, so yeah i was too young to actually go to lifetime shows--and i just was getting into hardcore when KD broke up so i missed them too. but i saw THURSDAY (when they were still like the TBA and everyone made fun of them).

man i miss new brunswick.

― max, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)

also my hardcore days were probably more like 14-17; by 18 was doing drugs

― max, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)

jess did you like the first few saves the day records or did you draw the line before them?

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:45 (eighteen years ago)

in order of how much time I probably spent:
Old 97's
Sleater-Kinney
Descendents
Buzzcocks
Clash
Jets to Brazil
Jawbreaker
Weezer
Get Up Kids
Minor Threat
Green Day
Cream/Bluesbreakers, etc.
country/blues Rolling Stones
RL Burnside records stolen from my dad

saves the day were from princeton--i like everything up to stay what you are, the rest is pretty OK tho. obviously no LIFETIME.

― max, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:48 (eighteen years ago)

it all kinda pales in comparison to lifetime, yes. lifetime still had some vestigial connection to actual hardcore.

― strongohulkington, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:49 (eighteen years ago)

oh shit i forgot about Old97's. they were in heavy rotation age 17-19. EMO-ALT-COUNTRY. loved that shit.

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:49 (eighteen years ago)

skate punk:
black flag - damaged/everything went black
descendents - milo goes to college

classic rock:
led zeppelin - physical graffiti
pink floyd - echoes

hip hop:
the doc - no one can do it better
nwa - 100 milez and runnin

r&b:
bobby brown - don't be cruel and that horrible remix album

"college rock":
rem, pixies, dinosaur jr, sonic youth, janes addiction

when i got to college, the first week there was a campus concert with janes addiction and dinosaur jr (with donna dresch on bass!) and the next week was beat happening with the treepeople (with dug martsch). and then my roommate who went to torrey pines invited me to a house party where heroin played one of the early shows.

i'm much older than all of you so this is a little funny to me. where's jack cole?

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:50 (eighteen years ago)

also Surfer Rosa somewhere in between the Buzzcocks and the Clash

i forgot that tim ellison and i went to school together, he probably was at all those shows.

I started listening to punk and hardcore in junior high and still wind up listening to it now more than anything. The Dead Kennedys stunted my growth.

seventh grade math + borrowed tape of "Fresh Fruit" (and a Mighty Mighty Bosstones tape too but we'll just gloss over that one)

― milo z, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:56 (eighteen years ago)

RFTC didn't exist when I was 18. jess is right though, I thought their shtick tired very quickly. I love the singles comps though. I was a much bigger Jehu fan.

I forgot the Jesus & Mary Chain, Spaceman 3and Galaxie 500, which all figured heavily in the dorm seduction.

― jaxon, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 02:24 (eighteen years ago)

my high school was predominantly chinese and italian - r&b/top40, minor hip-hop, classic cheese rock. dudes, my classmates chose the freakin theme song from 'aladdin' to be our grad song. so rong. so painful.

anyway, i managed, wld not give in

that's all in addition to all of the obvious classic rock stuff which has always never not been there.

― Stormy Davis, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 02:55 (eighteen years ago)

My school voted for that Green Day acoustic song two years in a row. My class wasn't even cool enough to pick our own shitty song, we got last year's cliche.

― milo z, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 03:41 (eighteen years ago)

tail-end dregs of britpop which i've mostly forgotten. other brit stuff: primal scream, happy mondays were always faves.
very early exploration of dance music - chemical bros especially, they were HUUUUGE here around the time 'dig yr own hole' came out.
some classic rock stuff like led zep and pink floyd and the who.
velvets, spacemen 3, mary chain (got the 'peel slowly' box on a massive markdown, it was my education! think i got 'loveless' real cheap around then too but i never clicked with that until years afterwards)
local indie bands, snout was probably the best of that lot.
the trainspotting soundtrack - pathway to iggy/bowie/eno as well as underworld etc.

never really heard much rap, because it wasn't on the community radio station i listened to and none of the obvious stuff ever really charted here. ('california love' was the one massive exception that stands out.)

never had much $ for records/cds tho, so i don't have much of this stuff really. (THANK GOD in the case of the bitpop rubbish.)

max, did it get played at your graduation?

it was "controversial" because we had elections to determine the class song and the graduation speakers and me and two friends ran on a ticket along with ignition remix as a write-in and they tried to disqualify it because we weren't supposed to do that (even though we won by a landslide)--so they tried to push "where is the love" on us (if i remember correctly) at which point student council protested and our stuco advisor MRS. KR3UG3L my hero took a fucking stand! we compromised; the "clean" version was played, and i read my grad speech which was mostly biggie lyrics.

bands i had cassettes for and rememeber from around then... royal trux, the breeders, mbv, bunny brains, pavement (westing and musket especially)... lot's of stereolab and merge and teenbeat and shit like that. etc. BROs were way into everything from skinnypuppy and zorn and all kinds of hip hop to brit pop, etc. middle school was my big hardcore phase... minor threat, dri, descendents, coc, etc. high school was hip hop and 120 minutes with dave kendall. so going to college was getting exposed to much better record stores. (whitesnake who sometimes posts here used to manage the schoolkids i went to all the time!)

shit, dude, i know, but i put that in between brackets. it was the crap i was referring to. i don't know how the helli discovered ice-t, maybe through some vague divine intervention. neneh cherry? she was extremely popular in the uk and i watched top of the pops (because i was all crazy about bros hahah).

neneh cherry was for a split second in the slits. i think there's some peel session ep floating around which contains her vocals.

Beginnings as a member of several bands

Cherry began performing after dropping out of school at 14 and moving to London, where she joined the punk rock band The Cherries. Cherry moved through several bands, including New Age Steppers, The Slits and Rip Rig & Panic later Float Up CP. She was close friends-house mates with Ari-Up. Neneh currently fronts the band cirKus.
