416. "Grey Cell Green" Ned's Atomic Dustbin
"Grey Cell Green"
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
God Fodder
1991
This album came out in spring of 1991, which coincidentally was when I first started getting seriously into what was still going to be called "progressive" for a couple of months (pretty sure I never heard of "alternative" until Pearl Jam was on the cover of Time magazine).
I guess Ned's Atomic Dustbin was an important band for me. I don't remember anything about them except for (a.) this song (which is fucking rad), (b.) the fact they they had 2 (two) bass players, and (c.) I wrote the name of the band on my white Converse Chuck Taylor hi-tops, which is how I know they were important to me. Oh yeah, also I had a "God Fodder" T-shirt. Good lord, did I wear that with those same Chucks? I must have looked like an obsessed superfan! Or maybe some weird Jesus freak who enjoyed puns and 70's crime sagas.
Point being, in the spring of 1991, I had my first super-serious teenage relationship, I had discovered a whole new world of music to obsess over, the world was at my feet, and I was in love with a band I remember almost nothing about. Time stretches out our memories until they are so thin they can't hold any longer.
Wait also "Kill Your Television" was on this album. It was okay.
