Yes. He had an "older" voice. I didn't realize how young he was at death.

Frankly tough time for this conversation for me. Coworker's mom and my sister in law's, mother in law died on Monday, and the youngest sister in law (52) lost an 8 year battle with cancer on Tues. The Mrs was with her on Mon, and TVs had the Queen's funeral on.... she had to leave, couldn't take it. Piling on, tomorrow is the 29th anniversary of their mother's passing, from the same cancer that claimed the sister in law.

Sorry to hear this Swami

I would have picked this one up in the used record bin at a shop in downtown Scranton sometime in the mid 90's.

Been some time since this popped up

Would have gotten this one through mail order roundabout 94 or so. Crazy how much Cobain elevated everything he covered.

“Oh, Me” is my favorite of the Meat Puppets covers.

Strangely, it’s the one that didn’t make the cut for the broadcast.

Thirteen is definitely the weakest from their killer 4-album peak from Bandwagonesque through Songs from Northern Britain, but it's definitely still worth a listen. Here's one from each songwriter.

My second favorite Glasswegian group, quite different than the first, albeit with an occasional member in common. I think I picked this one up in a shop on 2nd St. in the early 00's, but I'm not sure.

Left a pretty good catalog for such a short time.

I grew up in Wagontown. One day we were riding our bikes, turned down Pratts Dam Rd and heard this guy singing. We stopped, he played some songs for us and was a really cool guy. Turns out it was Jim Croce.

Saw Pavement at the Met with my daughter last night - pro parenting tip: raise a kid with the same taste in music as you. Great show from all over their catalogue, most of the hits but a lot of deeper album cuts as well over 90 minutes or so.

Started off with Grounded.



Later, Kurt Vile came on to sing Zurich is Stained and immediately it sounded like a Kurt Vile song. Was fine but really would have preferred Kurt stayed in his seat, quite frankly.



Notable omission: Gold Soundz. Was expecting that to be the closer, but no. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised they closed with a grand performance of Stop Breathin.

Great room to see a show

Brutal day, on calls from 930 to 300. Long story, but it was 85 deg at my desk. Just left the office at 3, couldn't take heat anymore. Felt so good to breathe fresh air. On the short drive home, found Chicago, Feeling Stronger All The Time. Windows open and cranked it up. Oh did that ever feel great.
