Meat Puppets

I cannot believe how good the new singles are from Dinosaur Jr, Meat Puppets, Jarvis Cocker, Sonic Youth and The Breeders. The bands are all staying true to their roots. Some groups from the 80’s and 90’s should retire gracefully (Axl), but these guys are putting out some of their best music in years. I’m not pulling some ol’ glory day shit, but it’s truly exciting for me to see the bands that I grew up with still rocking.

“It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream. When you have something like a nightmare, you will wake up and tell yourself that it was only a dream. It is said that the world we live in is not a bit different from this.” Ghost Dog
