I'll have to check out Black Taj. Also there's a new Polvo album (2013.) I like to think that I was born at the exact wrong time to appreciate Polvo when they were around. I was into Superchunk and other Merge artists, but we'd usually just play the compilations at work and I'd skip around. My co-worker told me I needed to listen to Today's Active Lifestyles, and at the time I was still like "meh.." I was 17 but that's no excuse considering I liked Sonic Youth and Shellac so much..
Anyway I was bored one day and decided to try Pandora for free and put on the Sebadoh station and this song came on. I don't think I've ever ridden my bike with such determination for a record or anything else, like everyone else heard what I heard and it'd be sold out forever and ever if I didn't get to the store ASAP. One of my favorite records.
