Re: Deathless

For me this was a musical touchtone, and I can hear the influence on a lot my own stuff. Heart on your sleeve, capo on fret two. Better than most of the popular pop rock songs of the era.

Re: The Silence Between: Music Recommendations

In four tourneys so far, no women have made it to the semifinals. Now, in the quarterfinals of 1953, it's almost assured there will be 1, there's a 50/50 chance there will be 2, and there's a unlikely but not 0% chance there will be 3. Exciting! https://twitter.com/justrewarding/status/1382734635394...

Hey! Some call this dismissively "post grunge," (jeepers it was recorded just a year after grunge hit the mainstream) probably because it's not self-loathing, but when it came out it was just another flavor of grunge. Sludgy guitars and flannel. Counting it.
