And at #487 is Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by #AlanisMorissette. I was way too cool to like Jagged Little Pill but this one actually grabbed me enough to keep listening to it. The first half is almost perfect. #500Records
Coming in at 488 is #DigitalFactor with Relationchips. This was a German #EBM that kinda got lost in a sea of similar acts coming out in the mid 90s but distinguished themselves with a lot of happy hardcore and electro/techno influences. #500records
Bottom 10 is all done. Now for the 480s, which we start with Swiss band #RämisSpontan ‘s 1998 live album “Live im Stockalper.” This record was one of my first intros to German language music that wasn’t stomp, slam, Schlager, scheiße, or Nena. Sadly out of print but it’s on YouTube. #500records
At #493 is Nowhere by #ride, which is one of the records that got me into shoegaze back in like 91 or so. At the time it was just funky noise which I quite enjoyed. Labels came after the fact. #500records
#494 on my #500records list might sound like another fake band but I assure you they are real. New Improved Jook Savages with Krishna Fats and the Night Nurses with the album Radical Militant Vegetarians in Naziland. I had this on tape I got 3rd hand from a college radio station back in like 92.
At #495 isn’t a real record at all, but rather Awesome Album by #MouseRat, the fake band from #ParksandRec. The music was silly with a touch of an honest sincerity that if you didn’t know better you’d think it was real. Which again, it wasn’t. Fake band lol. #500records
Number 498 on my #500records list is this smooth piece of jazz, Michael Haggins with Daybreak. Like most people familiar with his work, I know the title track from its many uses in the show Community. But beyond that track is, well more smooth and funky jazz.
