Not From The 90s Playlist

Baked had kind of a 90s shoegaze thing going at Asbury Lanes last week.

When You Have Nothing Else to Post, Make a Playlist

The other day, my friend Allyson from Speak Into My Good Eye forwarded me a video with the message, "Have you seen / heard this band? I feel like they're right up your alley." I watched it and heard fuzzed out, noisy guitars -- kind of that wall of sound noise thing. There were also definitely some pop hooks. Right up my alley. I guess you all know me by now.

Those sounds have been kind of a thing lately, so I decided to make a "Not From The 90s" playlist featuring recent acts working over the sounds of 1990s indie rock. No. There won't be any Mariah Carey-influenced pop stars (I'm looking at you Ariana Grande.). It's mostly stuff that sounds like My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr., Weezer, maybe some Superchunk, maybe some Pavement, maybe some Lemonheads, maybe even some Liz Phair.

Like the "Not From The 80s" playlist, not everything will be a religious reproduction of 1990s indie guitar rock; but everything, for one reason or another, reminds me of that time. Maybe it's the octaves.

Here you go. Have a good weekend.
