🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Stutter" by Elastica →

Been mainly listening to my music files through Navidrome lately and a shuffle brought up Elastica's self-titled album from 1995. So good...

And of course the algorithm caught on (or maybe coincidence, since they just announced a re-release of the album) and I caught the video "She had a #1 album by 24. Then she stole the riff" (YouTube), which isn't quite true: the riffs were "stolen" when she recorded the #1 album... anyway.

I do love me some Wire and it's one of their influences, even without the riffs. With all that said, Elastica did a lot to make them their own too....

And can we talk about 90s rock music? I wish rock was as big as it was then... but I also know from listening to so much new music, that rock is very much alive, even if it isn't dominating the radio and streaming charts.
