I started high school in 1990 so that was the perfect time musically to really develop a foundation for great “college rock” post new wave bands. Which flowed seamlessly into punk and grunge. What a great time to be young.

@Graeme
Your post in the Vinyl thread made me feel like you may appreciate this next one, very different btw, but he does some amazing jazz as well.
I was already familiar with John Zorn, but my friend turned me on to this album.
It is awesome imho.
Wondering how many other weirdos are in here that like this kind of stuff.

@Matt - I couldn't have said it better myself. I also started HS around the same time (in '87) - and I also went to a school with a lot of folks that introduced me to old school rap - I played basketball and ran track if that helps paint a picture - so I was able to experience a tremendous catalog across various categories. It helps me "school" my girls on what real music is - not the mumble rap of today or the ridiculous auto-tune nonsense that everyone seems to have in their bag.

On a completely separate but music related note(of course)..

BUZZING to finally see one of my favourite bands The Used, at Slam Dunk Festival this year..

[Matt]

@MTpockets oh yeah, old school rap from the Beastie Boys first record when I was in middle school on through today.

@Matt ...thanks for making me feel old you f'n young buck.

[Matt]

Age is just a number. Yours just happens to be a really really big number that most 3rd graders can’t count to yet.

[goosehd]

@Matt …that’s called elder abuse in some circles ️

[goosehd]

...and I so hope that a bunch of us can get together when you reach the milestone. We need to hold a celebratory event for that occasion

[Matt]

I’m sorry. I hail from a lawless land and know not your civilized ways.

All we know is Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves.

[goosehd]

...and to add, most of us won't/can't remember shit and will just end up partying and not knowing why we're there.

Edit: @Giles party for @Matt's 50th

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I'm great at reading between the lines and we've all just been invited by @Matt, flights, accommodation and all you can eat/drink included

[Tago Mago]

also, I was always led to believe that kids keep you young. Care to comment on that statement, gentlemen?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago It's because at 50 you need bifocals to distinguish the lines, otherwise everything blurs together

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago ...I had no grey hairs before kids. That may answer the question.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd thank god I'm 42, so I'm the answer

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd you still have hair, not impressed by your humble brag
