Mother. Fuckin'. Mudhoney.

Huh. I read about this band on a "this months best music" section, but I just can't get into the vocals. It just doesn't really appeal to me. Love the guitar and bass however.

Oh, these guys have been around forever. They were one of the vanguard of the Seattle grunge movement way back when. Now, I'll admit, I'm not big into grunge, and I'm sick to death of Seattlites resorting to the whole "we had Nirvana before Nirvana was Nirvana" schtick in order to assert a sense of enduring musical superiority. But Mudhoney has a special place in my heart. So scrappy. Their live stuff is still killer, too.

Sub Pop had Nirvana before Nirvana was Nirvana!

And Seattle has Sub Pop. I swear, though, talking to people up here, you'd think Sub Pop hadn't produced a million great records since Bleach.

I just don't get it...
