benjamin Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 If I was to get my feet wet by venturing into some Sebadoh, what album do you recommend I start with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Bakesale is the best place to start. It's the most cohesive album they released and mixes the best of Barlow and Lowenstein's songs. In fact, it has J-Lo's best songs on it. III, Bubble & Scrape and Harmacy are also great records. Harmacy is there most commercial and has their "hits" on it. III is getting reissued in a few weeks, so you may want to pick it up then. III has Eric Gaffney's best songs on it, which tend to be noise-rock freak outs. Avoid the early stuff (freed weed, freed man, etc) as they are way too noisy for a novice. Don't forget the Folk Implosion or Barlow's solo stuff. Some of it is great! I'll keep this post short - Sebadoh is my favorite indie band of all-time (Fuck Pavement). If you wanna know more shit, just hit me up. I can hook you up with some stuff.

jhawk98 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm not huge into them but I do have Bakesale and Harmacy and enjoy both of them. I'd recommend either one of those records. Why the hate for Pavement BrianJeremy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Why the hate for Pavement BrianJeremy? I don't hate them, they're actually one of my favorite bands. They just get a lot of credit for stuff that sebadoh was doing years before they were. Why they are so lauded while Sebadoh remain fairly obscure is a great tragedy to me.

Welsh Rich Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I interviewed him a month or two's back (linky) and asked him the same question and he suggested going to his website http://www.loobiecore.com/ and look at the free stuff he's upped on there! I also second everything brianjeremy says re: Sebadoh but I'd definitely recommend the Folk Implosion record One Part Lullaby which I think had some of Barlow's best songs on... And his solo record is really good too, took me a while to get into it but now it's a frequent player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mchchef1 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 GREAT BAND start wit lou on bass in dinosour jr's greatest Youre Living all over me!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 It's also worth noting that he says on his website that he may be planning an old school Sebadoh record (Eric, Jason, Lou), the first since Bubble & Scrape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Groo Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) "The Sebadoh" is the only Sebadoh album I own. And it's one of my favorite albums ever. Edited August 1, 2006 by Groo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 "The Sebadoh" is the only Sebadoh album I own. And it's one of my favorite albums ever. Start working your way back and you will be amazed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, there are some good tracks on it, like Flame, but it's nowhere near as good as their mid-career albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
