I see Scott Weiland<\/a>, most famously front-man for the group “Stone Temple Pilots”, has passed on.\u00c2\u00a0 The word for what that means is, oh, “group for its time” — or maybe even defines a “precise moment in time”.<\/p>\n

A staple of alternative and modern and “album oriented that doesn’t lag off in the 80s” rock radio through the 90s, they have that assorted song list from their first couple of major albums, and then some songs played from the third release “for a while”…<\/p>\n

… It’s that damned Seattle sound ala Pearl Jam, except by way of arena rock?\u00c2\u00a0 Or something like that?\u00c2\u00a0 They fit the niche, which was… you need to fit a rock radio play list, and have music that sounds like a few much better bands to play around them.<\/p>\n

I more or less liked them, but only marginally.\u00c2\u00a0 I ended up with the “Tiny Music” album, and zipped through a tune or two from it in some vaguely defined album rotation…<\/p>\n

So that’s how then we get down deeper into the album.<\/p>\n

And the impenetrably dull memories that the passing of Scott Weiland inspires in me.<\/p>\n

So.\u00c2\u00a0 Spanish class.\u00c2\u00a0 And this girl in class starts humming “Art School Girl<\/a>“.\u00c2\u00a0 Another guy sings a couple lines.\u00c2\u00a0 “Oh, yeah.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that song.”\u00c2\u00a0 I say.<\/p>\n

And now I’m in a conversation with her and another guy on whether this song, which is lost down this\u00c2\u00a0 is… good<\/a>?\u00c2\u00a0 So now I just see Br(—) singing “Andy Warhol everywhere” … and deciding… well, it’s hard to say what we decided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
