Sebadoh “Infatuation Or True Desire”

I’m reblogging lalitree’s post because I love the description of Sebadoh. I’ve never listened to them before, but I’ve just downlaoded and am checking it out…

I’m re-blogging MP’s post here in order to take the opportunity to say that “Happily Divided” has long my favorite Sebadoh song (Lowenstein FTW). Other faves: “S. Soup”, “Homemade”, “Skull”.

Sebadoh’s body of work is kinda all over the place, which makes some sense given that the band has a pretty sprawling discography and three primary songwriters. Aside from Eric Gaffney’s generally bizarre contributions, the general tone of the band is defined by Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein’s obsession with writing whiny, often passive-aggressive songs about girls. Sometimes they rock out, other times they are soft and tender, but no matter what, they usually come off as the neediest, most high-maintenence boyfriends of all time. Luckily, the songs are mostly quite catchy and awesome, so it’s not too annoying, though it may be hard to take too many of them in a row unless you’re in a full-on beta male shame spiral.
