I recently wrote in a thread about Bjork, about growing up in a backwater town before the Internet was a thing, and what it felt like when a friend came back to town with Sugarcubes tapes, and how that night is a very happy memory.
I didn’t mention that he brought back tapes from two bands: a few Sugarcubes albums and The Waterboys’ This is the Sea.
It was a joyous, mind-blowing night, and I tear up a little with happiness at the memory. And they’re both artists I’ve still not tired of either.
ETA: Since I saw this article a couple days ago, I’ve listened to cover by Fiona Apple about 20 times, and it just gets better each time.
