At the time, most mainstream rock critics just ignored it - its interesting to see them rewrite their history today.<br /><br />I do notice parallels between the mid'80s and today - but people - the bands, labels and the folks that write about it - are more sophisticated and seem determined to not repeat the mistakes of history. <br /><br />Perhaps its as some have said - conservative politics reaps great rock and roll. And in the end, its all just rock and roll, which, so far as the time being is concerned is the beast that just won't die or resist reinvention.<br /><br />Cheers and is Vinfindel some sort of new grape? An Italian Zin perhaps?Jim Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126808520365186688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1110072624744289212005-03-05T20:30:00.000-05:002005-03-05T20:30:00.000-05:00but when this stuff came out (all the Homestead ba...<I>but when this stuff came out (all the Homestead bands) it seemed like at the time we just accepted it as great new music...</I>no, i think yr right.<br /><br />gone are the days.<br /><br />-jeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1110070774292488872005-03-05T19:59:00.000-05:002005-03-05T19:59:00.000-05:00I could be wrong and romanticizing the past but wh...I could be wrong and romanticizing the past but when this stuff came out (all the Homestead bands) it seemed like at the time we just accepted it as great new music from homestead and then didn't try to put a label on it. Now everything has to be labeled and packaged as part of a movement whether it's emo, lofi, alt folk, etc etc). At the time Big Dipper lived happily along side Sonic Youth, Scrawl, Big Black and others. I'm not sure that is the case today, but I could have had one too many glasses of Vinfindel as wellCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670437276325083907noreply@blogger.com
