If some little brat asks you what the 90's was like, point that little brat toward this song. This was Dinosaur Jr. bass man Lou Barlow's lo-fi side project which turned into a 10 year gig after DJ gave him the thumb (and middle finger). The video quality is weak; here's a better one with embedding disabled.
And this was Barlow's other project (from the Kids soundtrack)
Remember when "modern rock" and "alternative" rock were interchangable, and the universe of great well-known bands and songs was endless and diverse. Not anymore (check Billboard Modern rock charts for proof). However, if you like melodic modern rock, here are some new & old tracks you may have never heard. Or maybe you have. But if this blog introduces only one person to even one great song they've never heard before, it will have served it's purpose.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin "Sink/Let It Sway" (2010)
Tight songcraft from former Russian President Boris Yeltsin's favorite indie band. These guys may be emo-certified, but don't let that scare you off.
Deerhunter "Helicopter" (2010)
Deerhunter is a four-man outfit from Atlanta. Though they dabble in different genres, this may be their most mesmerizing tune to date.
