my no-fuck girlfriend's lousy jacksone brown albums

frampton comes alive was unavoidable that summer

so was paul macca -- think I heard enuff of silly love songs dude

miles' jack johnson and "don't fear the reaper' were my personal jams

m coleman, Monday, 14 May 2007 12:40 (eighteen years ago)

also went thru a heavy todd rundgren phase & discovered patti smith

dan selzer, Monday, 14 May 2007 12:55 (eighteen years ago)

Dr Morbius, Monday, 14 May 2007 13:04 (eighteen years ago)

i'm guessing grady was 18 in 1996 too

strongohulkington, Monday, 14 May 2007 13:08 (eighteen years ago)

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
led zeppelin, pink floyd, rolling stones, jimmy hendrix, northern soul stuff, etc

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...

oh god

cankles, Monday, 14 May 2007 14:38 (eighteen years ago)

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)

From 18 – 19, chronologically:

Ramones
Talking Heads
Sonic Youth
Cure
Bauhaus
Dave Matthews (regrettably, but if you'd known my high school...)

remy bean, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:17 (eighteen years ago)

Something about the demon phallus and painted-on abs turned me on...I was quite the troubled little queer at 18 :\
oh and:
Legendary Pink Dots
Suicide
DK/Lard/Klaus Flouride/etc...
Mr.Bungle
Boredoms, Boredoms and more Boredoms. My poor hippie mother. I feel sorry I had to put through all that. But not really.

King Kitty, Monday, 14 May 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

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.

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.
