Slowdive - Catch The Breeze
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the MV for this song until now.

Another one from one of my classic mix tape recreation playlists.
Connoisseurs of Dinosaur Jr. may find this to be a sacrilegious cover of the track from the debut DJ album, but the BB version is quite faithful to the 1985 original, plus objectively, Juliana has a better singing voice than J! I like this version, a lot.

I couldn't believe that there's only been one MBV track posted here, so here's another from the seminal album, Loveless.
Spirea X - Chlorine Dream
Subscribe to 4AD here: http://bit.ly/4ADYouTube Jim Beattie left Primal Scream and formed Spirea X alongside Judith Boyle (who were later to record as Adventures in Stereo) - where they signed to 4AD, releasing two singles and an album, 'Fireblade Skies' in 1991. 4AD on the web: http://4ad.com/ ht...
Spirea X were formed by Jim Beattie who had left Primal Scream, having founded the band with Bobby Gillespie, after their first album. This band tapped into a certain part of the British musical zeitgeist with elements of stuff like Jesus and Mary Chain, Stone Roses, Ride and perhaps Cocteau Twins.
Named after a Primal Scream b-side, they released a couple of singles and an album on 4AD, but were quite short lived.

An epic track from Swervedriver’s debut album.

Billy Bragg – Sexuality
Bragg’s lead single off of his 1991 pop success ‘Don’t Try This At Home’, came at a time where sex-positive and anti-homophobic music was scarce. With a video that is just as fun, fearless and freeing as the words – it is one of Bragg’s biggest and most loved singles. The Million Things That Never ...
Some good lines in the lyrics for this, IMO.

They Eat Their Own - Like A Drug
Chapterhouse – Pearl
Complete video at very good quality of this shoegazing classic!! Taken from the stunning album Whirlpool! (back vocals by Slowdive's Rachel Goswell)
Although Chapterhouse weren't my fave shoegaze band at the time, I think that this track is quite magnifique. Backing vocals are provided by Rachel from Slowdive and the dance-y beat was created by a sped up Jon Bonham sample, I seem to remember.

Big Audio Dynamite II - The Globe

As I explained in this post, I was thinking today about fusions of guitar rock, sampling, beats and rapping and a track that sprang to mind is this one. I find it interesting that on this track Mick Jones samples his previous band, The Clash.
What do you think, does it hold up today?

Because I am a world champion procrastinator, today I was thinking about music that could be deemed "alternative" that began to fuse guitars with samples, beats and rapping.
Something that sprang to mind was Big Audio Dynamite II's album The Globe and the singles I remember from it, "Rush" and "The Globe". Here's a separate post for them.
Anyway, my mind also turned to this song by New Zealand's Headless Chickens. Their record label, Flying Nun, was known particularly for jangly guitar bands, so this was something a bit different. To be fair, there had been a bit of experimental lo-fi and noise rock and not just the jangly stuff…but to my knowledge, nothing like this.
What do you think? Does a track like this hold up today?
