If you don't remember Handsome back in the 90's maybe you will remember Quicksand. Peter Mengede, former Helmet guitarist went on to form Handsome. Quicksand guitarist Tom Capone was recruited as well.
Norwegian alternative - excellent sounding band. Track one is upped to DivShare for your listening pleasure to check them out. And as always ready to download in the usual place. Thank you to Banius for this upload!
Someone requested more Medicine and I found this CD in my stack. I'm not sure what Medicine was thinking when they recorded this record. Normally as you know I do not post anything past 2001 but as this was a request and I think it's important to check out this late release from the brilliant band Medicine, even if they were smoking catnip when they made this record.
Found this today at a thrift store. For some odd reason, college radio alternative music CDs are in short supply at thrift stores at least in these parts.

Loosegoats was a Swedish lo-fi rock group formed in 1994 by Christian Kjellvander, Johan Hansson, Jens Löwius and Mårten Löfvander. They released their first mini CD, Small Lesbian Baseball Players, in May 1995. Shortly thereafter Mårten left and got replaced by Anders Tingsek. [1]
In 1996 Jens left the band. They replaced him with Magnus Melliander, who was first hired as a live-musician but quickly became a full time member. [2] The band released their debut album, For Sale by Owner the same year with that lineup.
Formed in Dublin in 1991, Pet Lamb comprised Dylan
Phillips (guitar, vocals), Brian Mooney (guitar, vocals), Kevin Talbot
(bass) and James Lillis (drums). Influenced by the hardcore assault of
the Butthole Surfers and Jesus Lizard, with the songwriting shared
between Phillips and Mooney, they admitted to their central inspiration
being ‘a mixture of lust, beer, frustration and boredom’. The band was
first adopted by small independent imprint Blunt, a liaison that
produced two EPs, and brought about support slots to the musically
sympathetic Therapy?, NoMeansNo, Babes In Toyland and others. After a
session for the John Peel programme, Roadrunner Records snapped up the
band, packing them off to Dublin’s Sonic Studios to record their debut
for the label, ‘Black Mask’. In its wake came a debut album, Sweaty
Handshake, propelled by songs such as the defiant ‘Insult To Injury’ and
self-loathing ‘Fun With Maggots’. The band was subsequently dropped by
Roadrunner, returning to independent label status for 1998’s Tenderness.
Thanks to my dear contributor Jenz for this up! I read on Wikipedia that Harmony Rockets was a side project of Mercury Rev, who I was very lucky to see at Sluggo's in the late 90's.
