was this mentioned? I fucking loved it for the easy acoustic intro but then turns into the typical sounding 90's polished distortion

@brianlux will have something to say about this, lol!eeriepadave said:I would throw The Juliana Hatfield Three's "My Sister" as one hit wonder. Maybe a few minor hit singles like Spin the Bottle or Universal Heart BeatHaha! Indeed.Hatfield put out a terrific memoir called When I Grow Up. In her book, she intersperses various stories about how she developed her love of music, a very interesting/revealing story about her mother's affair with Mountain bassist and multi-instrumentalist Felix Pappalardi, a slightly nervous telling of the time Henry Rollins put up Blake Babies in his house for a few days (which is rumored to likely have led to her writing the song "President Garfield" from same album as "My Sister"- Garfield is Rollins' surname)-- all of that sandwiched between nicely detailed chapters involving The Blake Baby on tour.One very cool story in her book is about the song eeriepadave mentioned, "Spin the Bottle". She was inspired by P. J. Harvey to write a danceable, snappy tune in 5/4 time, no easy task. And what a fine success! That tune's easy groove belies the unusual timing. But if you listen to it and count it out-- one two three four five, one two three four five, one two three four five-- it simply grooves.I like "My Sister", but for me it's probably at least halfway down my list of favorites from Become What You Are, one of my favorite albums of Hatfield's. It was recently re-issued on vinyl through American Laundromat Records and that pressing sounds fantastic!LOL, yeah!Iron will, iron hand
Neck like a tire, iron man
Iron fist, pump that jam
Iron eye, iron gland
Iron face, iron plan
Fill that empty coffee can
Iron bar, metal band
Pumping iron man...

Yes, and the clincher is the song title, "President Garfield". Rollins was born Henry Lawrence Garfield!

I'm pretty sure this wasn't even released as a single nor was a hit. Great soundtrack though (song is ok, imo).

My Early Hardcore record Flex Your Head has a very young Henry in it with his name Henry Garfield. Only place I've seen that. Someone covered an SOA song and his name can be seen in that too.brianlux said:tempo_n_groove said:
