Big Dipper

[Kane Knight]

So I just got the new Big Dipper Anthology. I don't think many people on here would know them, but I figured I'd shill them anyway. They're one of those bands that had some pretty solid radio play near Boston in the 90s, kinda a 90s alternative, mild punkish undertones, and some poppy sounds as well. Not the easiest band to classify, but they're pretty fun. I have "Edith" stuck in my head, a song I don't think I've ever heard before.

Half the Anthology is out of print discs, (Heavens, Craps, Boo-Boo), and the other half is unreleased tracks, demos, etc. This is a pretty damn good set, though the band is hardly an epic group. They also do a damn good cover of "All the Way From Memphis," though it's not on this record. Brian May's cover is way, way better, but it's a cool song anyway.

Haven't ripped them yet, but I can.

I checked a number of the sound clips on Amazon. On second thought, don't hook me up. :p

I can put up the anthology if you want, WeX. Just not gonna bother if nobody's interested.

My interest in the band is largely artistic; after hearing the Anthology I was amazed at how big a band they COULD have been. The problem is, their indie stuff lacked the production and their one major label record didn't really sound like them.
