Lots of new-to-me stuff this week! I’m excited to dive in. As for the Gin Blossoms, that entire record is wonderful—and woefully underrated. My fave is ‘Allison Road.’
I'm skipping ahead to F, cause Y the F not? The two bands I was unaware of in your list were the M bands. Moist and Mozez. Can't say I loved the Moist song, but Mozez I super dug! I'm getting Peter Gabriel and TV on the Radio vibes. So good.
Living near Cake in the '90s (San Francisco for me, Sacramento for them), I had the great fortune to get to see them twice at small clubs in their early days. I became pretty obsessed. I get that most people gravitate to Fashion Nugget, but I have a huge soft spot for their debut, Motorcade of Generosity. And their later albums have several solid songs too. When guitarist Greg Brown left the band, they became less eclectic and more political. Greg was a great foil for John McCrea.
What stood out most in your post was reading about your 135 mile hike! Holy moly! How many days will that take you? I support you taking a break as that will give me a chance to catch up!:) I'm going to be writing about your alphabet soup project in an upcoming post. I don't want to spoil it, but you inspired me to do something somewhat similar. I'll probably get to it next week as I'm swamped this week. Have an awesome trip!
"Fisherman" stole my heart 💙 When I hear such rhythms I automatically think of my trip to Mauritius last March. You can hear all possible shades of reggae there.. almost constantly, almost everywhere

Have fun on the trail!
