Yes , that vic chesnutt record is brilliant...




... but this aside, i recently read "Junger makes me ammodern girl" which made me re-appreciate the different sk records. Its certainly not their best record, but it got them started and there is an immideacy to it that stands out.

There's just soooooo many... I wanted to add a SNFU album, but I think I am the only one on this thread who would lean toward it... and while Buju Banton's album is regarded as a classic, I just can't with him.

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot about Jawbreaker's Dear You! That album was a game-changer for me!
Or Dog's Eye View's Happy Nowhere, one of the greatest forgotten singer-songwriter albums of the decade!

Hmm, one of those ones we'll never know as the Discogs listing of my pressing says 94. Whatever - it's a great record. And possibly only one I own featuring the bagpipes...

Oh hell your right, discogs does say 94. Im pretty sure it was actually released Jan 17th 95 though, seen a few articles that said as much and a few years back theres an interview to celebrate the 20th anniversary which has it at the jan 17th date. Thats a great spot though, I need to dig into this more and find out whats going on haha
