Water All Around

"Water all around...never learn how to swim now." This site is devoted to great alternative music. Like "Swingin' Party" by the Replacements from which the aforementioned lyrics hail. These posts are intended to introduce visitors to bands that I believe deserve greater attention. If you wish to have an MP3 removed, email me at zotzedwriter@yahoo.com.

Five fer Friday VI

[MP3] Cracker – “Movie Star” EXPIRED
Gotta love a song with the lyric: “The movie star crashed her car but everyone said she was beautiful even without her head.”

[MP3] Devo – “Uncontrollable Urge” EXPIRED
Devo could really throw down in their day. I sometimes forget that.

[MP3] Guided by Voices – “Glad Girls” EXPIRED
Poppy fun from G-by-V.

[MP3] Replacements – “I Hate Music”
EXPIRED
“I hate music…it’s got too many notes!” sings Westerberg back in 1981.

[MP3] Young Canadians – “I Hate Music” EXPIRED
Same sentiment, different song, sung a couple years earlier by the Young Canandians.

Not sure how it could be from before the Mats. Mats' version was on their first release in 1982. The Canadians didn't form until the 90s, right?

Well, I stand corrected. The Young Canadians released "I Hate Music" in 1979. The Mats' version came out in '81.

My bad.
