As per a rant I had this morning [wink], the only half good thing about My Space is artists with tunes on their My Space page. This morning I wound up on Jim Beach's page. Euphoria is excellent.

It's one of the few pages I've come across where downloads (vs. streaming audio) is available. Of course, being the pile of puke that My Space is, the downloads aren't currently working - "Sorry, we're undergoing maintainance". Bleh! Which of course reminds me of the Slashdot article yesterday regarding the My Space worm that someone wrote. Oh, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. [wink]

All Roads Lead Back To Tucson

I was actually going to title this "All roads lead to Rome, or Tempe...", and then thought of the fitting Americano! lyric. But yeah, Tucson or Tempe. [wink]

I've been thinking this week about the pre Blossoms bands I liked, that end up having relations to the Blossoms.

The example I've thought of in the past is Toad The Wet Sproket. I was totally captured by All I Want back in 1991, amazing song. As well as (post being a Blossoms fan) Something's Always Wrong. Back in the day, the Blossoms toured with Toad extensively. One of the coolest things is Robin and Phil joining Toad for All I Want live.

The second example is The Rembrandts. Again, back in 1991 I was way into Just They Way It Is. Admitadly I wasn't a Rembrandts fan per se, but really liked the two songs I knew (Just The Way It Is and Someday). And admitadly I got over I'll Be There For You relatively quickly. For me, it's an Iris or 'Til I Hear It From You - a pretty average song that recieved critical acclaim and broke the band. (Well, Iris is fantastic, but won them a lot of fans that would have never being Goo fans otherwise - eh). But in anycase, really liked Just The Way It Is, and Jesse has had quite an association with The Rembrandts, co-writing one of their songs, and of course Danny Wilde being in Tres Diablos.

Just interesting to think about how I was into both artists, or at least their songs, years before getting into the Blossoms.
