Damn. Can't believe its been 20 years since Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" was released. One of my all-time favorites. Thanks for the reminder.

I like the pure SWPL stoke from crackers boastin' on rap/hiphop appreciation. "I'm so hip I know a black dude, an asian lesbian and a turkish tranny, and I've loved hiphop since the 90s."

go here, look at items no. 107, 116, 14, 8, 7 and then you understand the difference between what people actually like, aesthetically speaking, and what they feel clique-bound to "appreciate" for core hipster points.

wonder if anyone ever said something similar to the King, the Killer or even ol slowhand

Yes, that's the point entirely, political correctness poses are a driving source of musical inspiration. Case in point: Vanilla Ice.

Who is "the Killer"?

CRCR is nearly as good as Wowee Zowee. Nothing on CRCR as good as Grounded. You are not allowed to disagree.

Truly, a white man cannot take inspiration from his black brethren.

**grinch** · 10-01-2014, 08:57 AM

Apparently I'm not cool enough to actually embed a video or post links until I have posted "a few times."

Should this be in the "how cool do you have to be" thread?

Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose & Rusty Cage

Beastie Boys - Car Thief. Released in '89 but close enough.

**grinch** · 10-02-2014, 01:41 AM

good choices for the thread. you should be good. copy and paste the "share" link on the vids and put them between a couple youtubes. delete out the "http bla bla youtube/ " part out of the share link though. delete from the "h" up until/including the "/" . click on "reply with a quote" on someone that posted a song and you'll see where it goes or where to type the u tubes with brackets. 2nd one with backslash between [ and y in youtube. man that's tough to s plain

**Plainview** · 10-02-2014, 01:48 AM

Doesn't work. Forum spits out a message saying I'm not allowed to post links of any kind until I've posted "a few times." I'm not cool enough yet.

hasn't stopped anyone else. case and pt.........

Looks like another 90's great band has finally called it quits. (again?

)

Rich Robinson: The Black Crowes Has Broken Up

Haven't listened to them in a long while but reading this made me cue up what I had on iTunes and man they made some good rock n roll. Music today blows compared to what it used to be.

(save it hipsters with your insistence that some obscure band saves the entire modern music landscape)

**Tippster** · 01-19-2015, 02:09 PM

Huh - I thought they'd broken up long ago.

**riser4** · 01-19-2015, 02:31 PM

Motel Brown.

I've never been a huge BC fan, but I was at the Jimmy Page w/the Black Crowes show at the Roseland Ballroom. That was fun. Chris Robinson did a pretty good Robert Plant.

**jfost** · 01-19-2015, 04:22 PM

This was kinda a weird time in my life...

**riser4** · 01-19-2015, 04:37 PM

If he played guitar he'd be Jimmy Page...

**Adolf Allerbush** · 01-19-2015, 04:45 PM

Dinosaur Jr. was I think one of the first to get signed out of Seattle. Wasn't Kurt Cobain considered for frontman?

Helmet's Meantime album is one of the best, start to finish, of the era.

Yeah, apparently just hiatuses.

Here's an interesting podcast of the Crowes drummer Steve Gorman's radio show (I had no clue he has a Fox Sports radio gig daily #keanau"whoah") where he talks about the breakup. Chris Robinson must have spent the holidays with Axl Rose, seems like a class A dickmove.

I've only heard that show in passing on a buddy's iPod, that must have been pretty sweet! Some conflict with Columbia records wouldn't let them release the recordings (Crowes v Page labels I guess) with the rest of that show on CD so I think the only way to get them was to buy the tracks via some bootleg off the soundboard.
