Stuck On Beta [LP] Vinyl Record

"... when I say that Smug Brothers sound like Bee Thousand-era Guided By Voices had a baby with Chronic Town (the debut EP by R.E.M., not the band itself, don't ask me how that works) and went to pre-school with Big Star, Spoon, the Strokes, Wire, and Deerhoof, well, is that illuminating? Does that tell you anything? Not really (rhetorical question, sorry), because music is a magic trick that no one has ever mastered, except by accident, and even then not for long. By definition you cannot properly describe a magic trick, especially if you don't understand how it works to begin with." - Jim Greer, 2025
