Big Dipper
 

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.

Hook me up.

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

Meh.

i liked what i heard there.

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.

i'm all for new music. if you post it, i'll check it out.
