respect is due: May 2012
http://aaronleclair.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. It's kind of funny, I think. I know - all of that sounds vague and possibly even generic - but hear me out. Technology is at the point where virtually every album is at the tip of my fingers, to use the old cliche. Certainly with a small amount of effort I could find the good stuff - but if I were to meet one of those "arbitrary people on the street", what would a deep knowledge of '90s indie mean? Was I the only person in t...

respect is due: Recent Vinyl Finds
http://aaronleclair.blogspot.com/2011/05/recent-vinyl-finds.html
90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Sunday, May 29, 2011. At an independently-owned record store, and Matador threw in a free Pavement LP when I preordered the remaster of Brighten the Corners. From them. However, since getting a turntable, the world of cheap used vinyl and reasonably-priced new vinyl has exploded. Into the mainstay of many an indie. To the extent that I've surprised myself with the things I've found in the used bins. Their second album, Hologram Sky. Was much more me...

respect is due: Urusei Yatsura - Slain by Urusei Yatsura

90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Urusei Yatsura - Slain by Urusei Yatsura. Damn, how I love Urusei Yatsura. Though. Slain by Urusei Yatsura. S not their best album in my opinion (that honor goes to the impossible-to-find, and sadly underrated,. Everybody Loves Urusei Yatsura. Was released by Primary Recordings, a pseudo-indie run by Elektra, and Slain by Yatsura. That I believe was on Elektra as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Next person who yells ...

respect is due: Humidifier - Nothing Changes
http://aaronleclair.blogspot.com/2011/04/humidifier-nothing-changes.html
90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Saturday, April 23, 2011. Humidifier - Nothing Changes. Most people who know about indie rock have certainly heard of Superchunk. Between them and their label Merge Records, they helped put North Carolina on the map, and repopularize a do-it-yourself approach in the wake of the major labels descending upon Seattle to sign every artist that wore flannel or had a single that sounded remotely like Nirvana. I found it completely unexpectedly! I'll be li...

90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Friday, February 25, 2011. I'll be Bach.". We at Respect is Due. Are back in action. well, at least for this week. Next week's show and the week after's will be canceled due to Spring Break over at CMU. But what's important, at least for now, is that there is no sports pre-emptions anymore. That played lots of British post-punk and shoegaze as well as '90s American indie. If you want the playlist, take a look at it here. Links to this post.

90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Balloon Guy - The West Coast Shakes. My next choice of album is an album which I believe cannot be found for download anywhere on the Internet, "The West Coast Shakes" by Balloon Guy. As in, I do not know of a Mediafire or Rapidshare link to this album, and there are no songs by this band posted on Youtube. [ Edit. This is not true! Fast-decaying splash cymbals you can hear what sounds like an immense time and money commitm...

respect is due: Nothing Changes? Nothing Changes!
http://aaronleclair.blogspot.com/2011/04/nothing-changes-nothing-changes.html
90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Saturday, April 23, 2011. Ever heard of those stories about commercial radio stations where right in the middle of an alternative rock song, they announce they're doing a format shift, say, to pop-country or top 40 or rock or Latin music? We're not going to do that here at Respect is Due, but I'd like to try something a little different. For the record, the title of this post is a bit of foreshadowing towards the first record I plan to post.]. Ballo...

respect is due: September 2011
http://aaronleclair.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Sunday, September 04, 2011. It's that time of year, when it's time for Respect is Due. To return to the airwaves and bless your ears with '90s indie goodness. With so many shouts of "90s revival! In indie rock this year, I think the most important thing we can do is play some real, honest-to-goodness '90s indie rock to show all the revivalist bands how it's really done. Case in point: I just listened to a crappy song by Wavves. Links to this post.

90s revival since before there even was a '90s revival. Saturday, September 18, 2010. This post is called what it's called because through my big-arse headphones now, there is an Eleventh Dream Day. Song with the aforementioned title playing. Again, no particular reason for the title other than it exists - and that's good enough of a reason. Incidentially the last they recorded for a major label before settling down with Merge. Speaking of Versus, I ended up at Paul's CDs. I had a show yesterday. Here.
