I’ll have to take a closer look now. For me, they have that classic grungey, indie sound of that era. I like the homage to A-ha with their use of the pencil-style animation in that video, but in color.<br /><br />What do you think of the recent Weezer covers? I think they’re a lot of fun.<br /><br />Off topic, but 150 years ago today, May 10, 1869, the Golden Spike was hammered home to complete the transcontinental railroad. Not really that long ago.

I was more into fey indie pop and psychedelia at the time and had a stack of other cd's to listen to. I only recently found out it is so highly regarded and influential today. I gave it a listen, can see it's qualities, but the moment has passed and my fire has dimmed a bit for that type of music. <br /><br />The music you loved in the past never sounds dated, but the music you missed in its time does- it's a weird phenomenon.Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441283453915780495noreply@blogger.com
