    Welcome to Discovery Park is definitely my favorite as well. I love all of their albums, but that album really shows their range.
    Agreed. I had trouble picking my favorites for my Spotify 'Best of' I made yesterday!

    Man.  This one still hurts!  I'm still in denial that Shawn is not with us anymore.  I've only recently been able to listen to his music again.  GREAT memories!  I think i saw most if not all the Seattle shows they  ever played.  One of my favorites was going all three night of a three night stand they did at the Breakroom in 01 (I think the club name changed to Chop Suey). Also when they started playing covers like Purple Rain and Benny And The Jets were mind blowing.

    One of my old record store co-workers saw them in the 90s at a small bar in downtown St.Louis and she said their cover of Purple Rain was mind blowing.

    Interiors is just one of the greatest albums of all time.

    Nice stuff, thanks for posting!

    The love he receives is the love that is saved
  • i have always loved brad. i found the most beat up copy of "shame" at a local oklahoma city cd warehouse when i was around 12 years old, it skipped so bad i had to record it from the cd to a cassette tape. it made the album even more special for me, because i had to be in my room and listening to it on the one device that still played cassettes in the house. it's a classic in my books.

    i finally got to see them live in the fall of 2002 in both dallas and austin texas. they played at these small clubs and sounded amazing. we were walking the streets of austin and i spotted shawn smith walk out of stubb's bbq heading towards their bus. i somehow squeezed up enough courage to say a 'hello' and he talked to me for a bit about the tour, "welcome to discovery park" and pearl jam. i asked him if he liked the new pearl jam record ("riot act") and he said, "no, i'm not in to that band. i loved mother love bone, though." we laughed. he was a very kind and charming guy. i also got to meet jeremy toback and happy chichester. happy was opening both shows and i got in to howlin' maggie after that. check out jeremy's solo work if you haven't yet, talented and nice guy. 

    shawn smith should of been as big as any of them.

    Nice collection. I should  listen to them. My buds wife  gave me a cassette a few years ago. Will dig it out if I still have it.

    Whenever there’s a ‘What Songs Should PJ Cover?’ thread, this is always the first one that comes to mind for me
