silversun pickups - carnavas


the best album from 1993 to get released in 2006

i remember the first time i came across this band...it was early in the morning and i was flipping through the channels...and i was stopped by what i thought was vintage smashing pumpkins (you know...with pre-vampire in the matrix billy corgan)...it was the video for the song "lazy eye"...and i just sat there watching and missing 120 minutes...and then the end of the video came...and suddenly i got even more excited..."is music going to get good again?!" i asked myself..."probably not,davey" myself said..."that's not my name dammit! damn you davey and goliath!"...so i immediately went to look for the band's album online (yeah i know...piracy baaaad! grrrrrr! but you know what...you're looking at this blog for a reason,right? that's what i thought...so you can take that hurt bunny look elsewhere)....and for weeks after i drove folks crazy playing said song over and over and over and over and over...and then the death threats started coming in...the cat wouldn't hang out with me anymore...the fish would stop swimming when i'd walk by (but i taught them all a lesson in flushology...poor larry)...i'd start waking up with my pillow covering my face (and i sleep alone)...the guy in the mirror quit showing up...

anyway...moving on ....

if you dig on some gish-era smashing pumpkins...some goo-era sonic youth...a little bit o' radiohead...and some my bloody valentine-esque noise...
