| | Meat Puppets Classic Puppets CD Meat Puppets Discography of CDs
In a development that must be mildly depressing for a generation of college-radio fans, the Meat Puppets' genre-bending mix of hardcore, psychedelia, and country music is old-school enough to have been overlooked by legions of indie-rock kids. However, younger listeners who don't own a copy of the Puppets' UP ON THE SUN (purchased by many during the mid-to-late 1980s in that dingy little record store near campus) might appreciate the quirky group, which influenced bands from Nirvana to Wilco to Califone.
The aptly named CLASSIC PUPPETS is a smartly chosen collection of songs from the Arizona band's eight-year tenure on SST Records, concentrating on the superb 1984-87 stretch from MEAT PUPPETS II to MIRAGE, and throwing in four previously unreleased bonus tracks (of varying quality) to boot. Although the set ends with tunes from 1989's MONSTERS, and therefore omits the Puppets' glossier and more commercially successful material from their brief early-'90s flirtation with the alt-rock mainstream, it doesn't suffer from the omission. True to the title, CLASSIC PUPPETS is the Meat Puppets at their best.
Includes liner notes by Derrick Bostrom.

Sonic Youth's second major-label album, produced and mixed by Butch Vig and Andy Wallace (a team that had helped turn Nirvana's NEVERMIND multi-platinum) was not the barefaced bid for mainstream acceptance that surly underground souls grumbled about in the pages of fanzines.

In 2003, after successfully renegotiating their contract with Epic, Incubus struggled further in parting ways with bassist Dirk Lance. When a proven lineup has a successful chemistry, there is always the danger of tampering with that magic when a personnel change occurs. Luckily, Incubus dodged that bullet and struck gold with four-stringer Ben Kenney (Roots/Blackalicious).
The requisite elements that ...
