Mark Arm Offers A History Lesson


If you notice a drop-off in posts today, don't worry, I'm OK; I've probably just gotten lost in a haze of looking for YouTube clips and blog posts recapping this weekend's SP20 festival, which celebrated the 20th-ish anniversary of indie heavyweight Sub Pop. (Matos sent along a blog by a former employee of the label that's proven to be crucial reading.) Above, the reunited proto-grunge act Green River performs "This Town." (Dear Iggy Pop: Please say yes to Jeff Ament's idea for a Stooges/Green River double bill, so I can stop kicking myself, at least until someone uploads yesterday's performance of "Swallow My Pride.")

Latest by mackro: The Green River show was amazing. (I saw every band of the entire festival this weekend.) I never saw them back in the day, so I can't compare THEN and NOW. But Mark's line about how Melvins apparently stole a more »

There's No Wrong Time To Post "Touch Me I'm Sick"


Especially when what I think are mysterious DNS problems are preventing a handful of people who have access to my IM name (including Dan!) from getting to the site, and especially when it's in glorious as-hi-def-as-492-pixels-wide-allows form. Thanks, RSS feed of Pitchfork.TV! The only way that this could have been better was for you to make the "This Gift" clip embeddable as well. [Pitchfork.TV / Mudhoney] More »

The Top Five Songs To Listen To When You're Not Feeling All That Well

Gentle readers, I am writing this from my couch, where I am as crouched in the fetal position as I can be (going all the way would, of course, render me completely unable to type). I am not operating at 100% right now, and what better way to exploit my lousy physical state for music-blogging gain than by writing a listicle (oh man, using that word just made me worse) about music one should listen to while under the weather? Specifically, when one is put under the weather by a foodstuff from one of New York City's finer dining establishments? (I swear, if the matzoh ball soup I had for lunch yesterday is the culprit, I am going to cry.) Five songs that are making me feel just a little bit better after the jump. More »

Mudhoney To Put Out Album, Save Music From Itself Sometime This Year


Casting about for a "last post" for about an hour has finally resulted in me striking gold: Not only are forefathers of awesome Mudhoney coming out with a new album this year, Sub Pop is readying a 20th-anniversary edition of Superfuzz Bigmuff that'll include "singles, demos and a pair of live recordings from 1988." Also the likelihood of that one-off reunion of Green River, which counted among its members Mudhoney's Mark Arm and Steve Turner, happening at the Sub Pop 20th-anniversary show this summer is apparently pretty high, and all I'm saying is that I will pay any amount of money in order to get a ticket. (Just one!) While I go off to sell some plasma, please enjoy this 1989 clip of "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More" and "Chain That Door"; after the jump, a more recent performance of the near-perfect "You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face)."

Latest by Tenno: @Maura Johnston: Hahaha. Yeah, no doubt. Puddle of Mudd (what do their fans call themselves? Muddsters? Puddsters? Fuckwits?) is one of those bands that, much like Nickleback, made some of the stupidest fucking lyrics ever and sang them. Seriously. I will more »

Holy Crap: Green River Reunion Show Set For Next Summer

File under "pieces of news that I thought Jess was giving me in order to fake me out and get my attention": Green River—the Mark Arm-fronted Seattle band that the northwest rock historian behind lamestain pegged as "the first grunge rock stars"—is going to play a reunion show in honor of Sub Pop's 20th anniversary, according to former guitarist Stone Gossard.
