Great band. yeah, bought a couple of the Polyvinyl reissues a while back as I wanted to hear them again -- it'd been well over a decade! The albums are good, mellow indie folk with a quiet power. Worth giving another shot 20 years on. Now: Mudhoney - Piece of Cake - (Reprise, German pressing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudhoney were awesome back in the day..still prefer the early stuff and saw them many times around 1990-91..killer live band. Last time I saw them was just after Lukin left the band and it was at a small tavern in Bellingham. Got there to find it sold out..spotted Mark Arm walking on the street and ran up to him to say how my friends and I had driven almost an hour from Vancouver to see them and it was sold out. He said no worries and put us on the guest list! He also appreciated my vintage 1989 mudhoney shirt too which maybe helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 ha, nah - just don't feel like listening to jazz at the moment! Was sadly unable to see them during their prime due to being underage (even though I was a huge fan at the time). Saw them later and felt like it was too slick and phoned-in, but the records from their first several years still hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I was like 16-18 at the time but I guess I looked older as I rarely got carded at clubs! And there were all ages shows too. Green River is worth checking out too; especially the Homestead ep and the "dry as a bone" ep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yep, got all the Green River 12"s. Great band. Had a CD on Sub Pop in High School and re-acquired the music maybe 15-17 years ago and they sound better to me these days than at age 15.

I wasn't aware of that one. Sounds fascinating. Someone should do a Sonet jazz reissue series. Something along the lines of what Elemental is doing with Xanadu. I'd pony up the cash for Okay Temiz's Oriental Wind with Bobo Stenson and Lars Danielsson. Or what about Jimmy Rowles Isfahan? Or the New York Jazz Quartet's Song of the Black Knight? Or Bob Brookmeyer's Back Again with Thad Jones? I'm sure that there are many other interesting Sonet recordings that aren't readily available. It's probably not financially feasible. But one can always hope... Edited June 7, 2016 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I am getting really tired of format over content. Isn't this a music site. If Lon got a 3xblueray version would it be a better intellectual experience? Rather than delete this, I just want to nudge folks in the direction of "music".

Homefromtheforest Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I think this forum is for vinyl nerds and the "what are you listening to" forum is for CD nerds. Vinyl is my preferred format so I love reading this forum to potentially discover gems I had never heard about. The pressing details are a bit superfluous but I appreciate them..and really is it that big a deal? We can't nerd out just a tiny bit? And in many cases,speaking as a music fan, the format and pressing can make a big difference in the SOUND of the music we all love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 no need to justify... I've learned a lot from people on this board over the years and am okay with relegating myself to observer/pithy vinyl poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I hear (and agree with) what Chuck is saying, and I'm guilty of what he mentioned. I often tend to post the release/pressing at the expense of commenting on the music. It should be more about the music than anything else. Pressings, etc. are interesting, but music should trump all of that. At least imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corto maltese Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Denying "format" is like telling the Blue Note story leaving Reid Miles out, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
