Paddy's "Things that cheer you up"

Listening to Throwing Copper right now. Forgot Top and Stage earlier listing my faves off it.

Cant get anywhere near him on some of it but the vast majority of the words are somehow lodged in my brain still.

Few weird looks from MrsVM but she knows when I'm happy making weird noises in the corner.

Man! They're responsible for one of the greatest albums of the 90s.

Saw them perform this at Edwards No.8 in Birmingham (classic venue until it burnt down)

Still play the album - love the final track Pillar of Davidson.

Yep I was at that gig too. Also saw them at Wolverhampton (Civic iirc).

A universally liked album on VT?

Nope. I just had my first ever listen. 

It's that same old loud/quiet shit - indistinguishable from Nirvana/Foo Fighters and the rest of them.

Haha, thought that would be the reaction! 

It's the inalienable right of us old codgers to play the "It all sounds the same" card. 

FWIW, I'm equally sure that the stuff I listen to all sounds the same to people who aren't into it.

Listening to an album once in an attempt to get to know it is never going to work really.

Gave it a listen, sounds like gargling pebbles that pearl jam and all them do. Soz. Now back to playing songs by a man with a moustache and wearing a cowboy hat.

This is back to the not liking avocado argument. Sometimes one taste is more than enough. If I listen to the Live album twenty times will it sound more like Bob Dylan than Nirvana?

They sound nothing like Nirvana.

Totally different sound/vibe/vocal performance. Way more alt rock than grunge.

They probably have more in common with Dylan tbh...
