Hey Meghan! Happy to spend some post, “cleaning up tools and cables” time with you and this show!

From the picture, I'm inferring you're not playing anything from Men Without Hats tonight? Because those men are sharing an enormous hat.

How about: Meghan, you're one of our somewhat limited number of hopes!

Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 12:24am Meghan:

hahaha..... I graduated in 1992..... so I was in high school at 1988
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 12:26am nixxon:

'88 high school graduation for me too. That marked the end of much suffering, but songs like these helped me through

Those "Just Say [fill in the blank" label samplers that Sire Records released in the late 80s/early 90s were good compilations. They introduced me to a few bands.

Stone Roses, most ignored in US Brit band ever
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:11am Meghan:

I was so mad that they played out at Coachella and never came around here.
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:15am BadGuyZero:

One of my fave bands when I was in high school was The Godfathers. I flew up to Chicago in 2009 to see their first U.S. show in almost twenty years. It was the first time I'd seen them since they were support on Love & Rockets 1989 U.S. tour.
  Sun. 10/11/15 1:16am KP:

The bourgeois prob flew them in for a one off
Avatar Swag For Life Member 🎃 Sun. 10/11/15 1:16am Īke:

Stone Roses were not that ignored where I was. A lot of the hype leaked across from the UK, and the other alt fans in my school were into them.
  Sun. 10/11/15 1:16am KP:

But over there, parades, tv, posters in stores
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:17am JakeGould:

@Meghan: !!! This is pretty much my end of college, working around Gramercy Park playlist of 1991 or so.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:17am Meghan:

I hadn't seen J&M Chain until this past month. It was one of those- I'll see them next time....
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:18am JakeGould:

@Īke: Well, compared to Oasis and Blur the Stone Roses and pretty much the rest of the bands that Meghan is playing didn’t hit the radar of most Americans.
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:18am JakeGould:

@Meghan: Never saw Jesus and Mary Chain live but did see My Bloody Valentine live at their peak so… Got my fill of feedback…
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:19am Meghan:

Oh I could go deep in this area. I had people from the UK convinced I was from the UK. They had no clue how I knew of half of these bands
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:19am Meghan:

Me too Jake..... did Pale Saints open for them?
  Sun. 10/11/15 1:19am KP:

If you are familiar with the Blog that Celebrates Itself, the latest one is Ride.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:20am Meghan:

oh wait, that was Ride that Pale Saints opened for...... Buffalo Tom opened for MBV
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:20am JakeGould:

@Meghan: Nope. This was the somewhat famous show at the Ritz during CMJ in 1992 I think with Superchunk, Pavement and My Blood Valentine.
  Sun. 10/11/15 1:21am rw:

Hey!

Fun show tonight! The theme is "Filling in for Mary"? Been dancing around in the kitchen. Hope the neighbors have been watching.

Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:22am BadGuyZero:

@JakeGould: That's the show that Jon Wurster and Tom Scharpling met each other at.
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:25am JakeGould:

@BadGuyZero: Small world! I have scans of my ticket stubs—part of a personal archiving project—and here is what I went to that’s relevant to this show:

• 1991-02-28 - Charlatans UK & The Cavedogs - The Ritz
• 1991-03-21 - Ride - The Marquee
• 1991-04-29 - Lush & Smashing Orange - The Marquee
• 1991-11-23 - The Pixies & Pere Ubu - The Ritz
• 1992-03-27 - Lush & Poster Children - The Ritz
• 1992-06-19 - My Bloody Valentine, Superchunk & Pavement - The Ritz
• 1992-06-20 - Ride - The Academy
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:28am Meghan:

Ugh, I never got to see Lush, I kick myself for that..... Love that the Cavedogs opened for Charlatans! I saw the Charlatans at Irving Plaza
  Sun. 10/11/15 1:28am Kmo:

Up next after the Del Feguoes will be the Bodeans and then following that will be Charlie Sexton
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:29am JakeGould:

Seems like the Stone Roses only really toured the U.S. in the mid 1990s? www.songkick.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:30am Meghan:

Oh I could have totally thrown in some Bodeans!
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:30am JakeGould:

@Meghan: Yeah, Lush live was amazing in those early days. I know they are playing 2 dates in the U.K. but if they come to the U.S., then jump on that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:32am Meghan:

oh I am already planning on it. tempted to just go to the UK!
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:36am BadGuyZero:

I'm figuring out how many My Bloody Valentine shows I'm going to go to when their new album comes out in 2037.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 1:37am Meghan:

hahaha, so true....
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 1:39am JakeGould:

Full confession: I can’t even begin to state how much that “MBV” album disappointed me. To me it’s just “Loveless” and “Isn't Anything” and that’s it. “Soft as Snow But Warm Inside” is great!

Greetings from Poland! Great music!

Hey Meghan, sounding great. I never make requests, but I'm dying for Tom Waits.

Supersuckers used to do a show on Halloween as Thin Lizzy Seance. Lots of Phil Lynott zombie jokes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 2:32am Meghan:

That photo is great and I came across it for the first time tonight..... It looks like something that was taken long ago....
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 2:32am BadGuyZero:

One year they opened for The Fastbacks, who had decided to be Supersuckers for Halloween and started their set with a few covers of 'suckers songs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 2:33am Meghan:

It's a crap shoot.... some bands are great and some not so much...... I was blown away by a Bowie cover band that could've gone either way......
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 2:38am BadGuyZero:

Dallas has way too many cover/tribute bands. I know other cities have their fair share. But I'm pretty sure Dallas has the most per capita.
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 2:38am JakeGould:

@Meghan: Bringing this to Mary’s show… When she does “Three of a Kind” she sometimes takes suggestions and is pretty clear when the cover songs she finds just stink. Some bands are just a tad… Deluded? But rediscovered Ministry’s cover of “Gimme Shelter” a day or so back… WOW! Great cover.
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 2:39am JakeGould:

@BadGuyZero: Back in the early to mid-ish 1990s there were still TONS of classic rock cover bands playing at bars on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Now it’s just bars and dude-bro drunk food places. I miss those cover bands.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 🎃 Sun. 10/11/15 2:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

Were Violent Femmes or The Psychedelic Furs part of your high school experience, Meghan? just curious.
Avatar Sun. 10/11/15 2:43am JakeGould:

@Ken: Kinda scary how many people I meet might not be into alternative music or anything past mainstream but they ALL know “Blister in the Sun.”
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 10/11/15 2:43am Meghan:

of course! Loved Dumb Waiters..... such a great song. And you could never go wrong with Gone Daddy Gone. I totally have a thing for xylophones....

I was in a car singing along to Punk Rock Girl, 3 of us were, and the 4th person said- How do you all know the words to this song?! ha
