It might still have been a boom time for the music industry in 2002, but Napster was on the way out that year. To be pedantic it was more the spawn of Napster (limewire, torrents etc) which bit the hardest. Napster was the harbinger of the fall to come.
So happy to see someone give a shout out to the Breeders, Superchunk and GBV.
1. Superchunk - What a time to be alive
2. The Breeders - All Nerve
3. The Screaming Females - All at Once

8. Ty Segall - Freedom’s Goblin

10. No Age - Snares Like a Haircut
Also really liking snail mail and malkmus and gruff ryhs so far. Need more listens though.
This is so out of character from Marilyn Manson. Add me to the list of people absolutely shocked he would do something tasteless for attention. What would 90s Marilyn think?
I'm a little surprised to see people complain that it didn't focus on the music, when all the lead up trailers and press seemed to show it was about the music business, with a label head as its protagonist. I personally find this more interesting than another biopic about musicians. But it is indeed great to have Hell's insight.
It'll never happen, but I would love to see a Perry Farrell/Jane's biopic. His songs about growing up in that LA scene are evocative enough to be fleshed out just on those lyrics alone!
Yeah. Everyone I know who has seen it loved that first episode. These are people with little knowledge of that period of the NYC music scene, but I don't doubt this will draw out their interest in this period to check the music out for themselves, as you say.
