Sombr - Back to Friends
Okay, this song is apparently a year-and-a-half old, but I only discovered it yesterday while building some new garage shelves. I was indescribably bored with an old radio I had in the garage that only received one non-country station (and I absolutely can't stand the putrid fucking sound of country music), so I replaced it with a new digital thing that actually works. (Different subject, but have you guys seen what radios can do these days? Presets, recording, etc.?)
Anyway, yesterday evening, while making countersink holes on the drill press, this song came on a station I never used to be able to listen to, and I was hooked.
I understand that things like this are totally subjective, but the melodic hook in this song was so addictive (and mid 90s alternative sounding – the best time for that stuff, imo) that I just had to share.
I found it on YouTube, so here it is. If you don't like it, no prob, but for some reason it is completely stuck in my brain.
Might be gone tomorrow, but for now...

I don't know about you guys, but I'd do just about anything to go back to the days of college house parties with red solo cups and cool alternative music.
I saw this guy on TV a couple of times recently. He's good.
Back when I was in college there was no such thing as "alternative" music.
You didn't need alternative. You had some of the best rock music ever produced. I don't know if the parties had the same feel, though. Maybe they did, just with a different background sound. I'll bet you miss those days, too.
In many cases it depended upon what you used to get high. Marijuana? or LSD?
Beer or hard liquor?
Cocaines and/or Quaaludes?
ALL of the Above. Probably Y eye can;t see how to post from Youtube.
If you might, be so kind...

excuse me? the late 60's and early 70's rock and roll split into several directions. the guy you rep'd was mainstream?
OK. You're excused.
You could maybe call those "alternatives", but is that the same thing as what is called "alternative" music?
Most of them would be considered mainstream, yes. Alice Cooper? Not so much, I guess, but that was after I graduated from college. That was 1978-79.
Very true. I still listen to it.
I can't say. I wasn't going to college house parties in the 80s-90's.
Sometimes. I still remember most of it like it was just yesterday, although now I can't always remember yesterday (joke).
Couldn't tolerate the continuing education seen, but saw, many a frckn PARTY and yes, would love to find a time machine.
A few years back I was running a local drinking hole, and man, are things ever different.
Catchy song, but I'm into harder rock but have recently discovered these various remakes of tunes, some I knew and had no appeal, but after hearing the psychedelic blues/rock remakes, they kick ass. I'll try and post an example, but doubt I recall how. Here it goes anyway
I had the same thought as soon as I saw that cup. most of the house parties within our group of misfits took place at outdoor sites to avoid local law enforcement or in abandoned houses, due to the inevitable property damage that would occur.
nothing against power ballads, but alt music falls short of my definition of 90's grunge, and this guy needs to eat a sandwich or 2.
I think he needs a sandwich.
LOL, I hadn't read your comment until I'd made mine. dude needs to double up on the ramen cups ...
