day 110: Plateau

Plateau, by the Meat Puppets.

Yes, I heard this song (and this band) for the first time on Nirvana Unplugged, which I believe we’ve already talked about. (I am watched-it-the-first-time-on-MTV years old.) And I played it much more like Nirvana than Meat Puppets here, so I guess this is yet another cover-of-a-cover.

Uh, except for the part where there’s a whole bridge/ending section that I missed? (Also, that Meat Puppets album is from 1984 and way ahead of its time and you should listen to it, wow!)

I’m really struggling with the “the” in front of some of these band names. I assume Rolling Stone and Pitchfork and whatnot have a style guide for this purpose. I have no style guide.

More non sequiturs: Don’t want to build this up too much or have to keep track of a second number, but this is the first day I tried Farewell Transmission and didn’t have the stamina to go through with it. Maybe another day.
