I want you to go
I want you to know that I hate you so
And all the fucking boys in the fucking bands
Just shut up and get outta my car
Nothing you know won't get you far enough the hell away from me
Oh no!

" Pearl Jam announce new album 'Dark Matter,' share title track - Pearl Jam have announced Dark Matter, their 12th album and the followup to 2020’s Gigaton. Guitarist Mike McCready promised an album that’s “a lot heavier than you’d expect” in an interview with Classic Rock last fall, and following the dancier vibes of Gigaton, Dark Matter‘s lead single and title track does indeed feel like a return to Pearl Jam’s classic ’90s grungy hard rock vibes. Check it out below. The album drops April 19 via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records." https://www.brooklynvegan.com/pearl-jam-announce-new-album-dark-matter-share-title-track

Vaguess - Thanks // No Thanks (2024) [new release] (erstetheketontraeger.bandcamp.com)

A mainstay of recent years in garage punk is back with a somewhat more high-profile LP via Erste Theke Tonträger after a string of more understated cassette and digital releases. This thing is as eclectic as any of these but at the same time, a lot more focused, determined and consistent than some of those more scrappy recent offerings. Spanning a spectrum from the propulsive post punk of the opening salvo (When It's Gone, A.P.A.C.), melancholy indie rock ballads (Texas Cloud), compfy synth pop tunes (Let U Know) to straightforward garage-/fuzz punk explosions (Can't Take It, 2 Car Garage), there's plenty of meat to dig your teeth into, all held together by Vinny Earley's always confident, often plainly brilliant songwriting powers. Last but not least, Weekend Shadows and Carryon are further examples of exactly that kind of supreme power-/fuzz pop hymn the dude has always excelled at.

Reminds me of both Magnetic Fields and Daniel Johnston. Really something.

I think my fave track is I will be with you.

Everyone knows the 1995 (yes, I know) version of this song, but have you heard the original?

Why don't the 12 of us let here get a thread going of originals from popular alt/indie covers which people might not know so well.

After all this years still a bomb track.
