Pet Semetary (1990)
This ‘80s revival is really starting to get on my nerves. I can’t wear skinny pants anymore because everyone is wearing them. I even need to start styling my hair differently, everyone seems to have the crazy messy overly dramatic look right now. Ugh. I am not some trendy hipster and refuse to be associated with them.
As such, I’ve moved ahead a decade by pulling out my shredded jeans, worn out docs and plaid. That’s right, I am going to be the first to bring back grunge and garage punk.
To get back into the mentality of the early nineties, I’ve been going through my old records, having finally banished the Cure and the Smiths from my playlists. I’ve been having a pretty awesome time rediscovering some old sounds. Elastica’s been at the forefront, Oasis, some late Pixies stuff and of course, Nirvana have also been cluttering the counters.
As such, I’m bringing you guys an album of the moment for the first time in a little while. Elastica’s self-titled debut was released in 1995, and contained several singles that had been floating around for a couple years before they were signed, like any good first album should have. They were Brits, they outsold Oasis to become the fastest selling debut album in the UK at the time and managed to find commercial success across the ocean as well, despite lawsuits with the Wire and the Stranglers regarding supposed copyright infringements.
The track of choice is ‘Stutter’, originally released as a single in the UK back in 1993. Officially dedicated to a Mister Shikamaru of Apartment 17.
