Beane Spill

WATCHING I like music documentaries. I just recently saw “We Jam Econo — The Story of the Minutemen,” who were a California punk band from the ’80s. The Minutemen were one of those bands that didn’t really catch on in the mainstream and yet was incredibly influential on other artists that did make it.
The other one that I saw was “Hype!,” which is about the Seattle grunge scene. It has great archive footage of bands like Nirvana and Sound Garden and also Alice in Chains playing in the Seattle bar scene. It’s interesting how clusters of bands develop in certain areas.
LISTENING I listen to a lot of podcasts. My favorite is World Football Daily. It’s a two-hour soccer podcast. It’s got a lot of correspondents from all over the world who cover soccer. My go-to band is Oasis, but I have a friend in the music business who keeps me up to date with newer stuff, some of which I like, some I don’t. He recently introduced me to Glasvegas and Cold Cave.

1. philevans3154 Posted: October 16, 2011 at 08:59 PM (#3965309)I guess there's no 'Rock bands of Seattle' section in the Style Guide.
I guess I don't really consider this early, but peak. I mean, we're talking about two years between Bean Spill and Double Nickels on the Dime. And don't forget What Makes a Man Start Fires?
I did not know that this was still going on. Turns out they got rid off the guy who blamed Liverpool fans for dying in Sheffield back in the day. Oh well, even without him it can’t be worth 50 dollars a year.
