The music video always makes me feel so happy.
I’m glad someone else recognizes there was an album before The Colour and the Shape!
I was shopping at a Hastings a couple of years before they went bankrupt for used CDs. They used to do a deal where if you bought two used CDs, you’d get the third for a penny. So I’d go in with 20 bucks and walk out with like six albums.
I just happened upon this Foo Fighters CD I didn’t recognize with a funny looking gun on it and saw it had Big Me on it. I knew Big Me from having seen it on VH1 or Fuse several years prior, but I wasn’t familiar with this one and it was like four or five bucks so I picked it up.
Whole thing is great. Floaty and Good Grief are my favorites from this one. I’m an indie head so I really dig the more lo-fi aesthetic of it.
Partial to For the Cows and X-Static myself. The more lo-fi feel is probably largely in part to Dave Grohl recording the whole thing himself (with a producer) like 6 months after Cobain’s death.
