RE: Sharing Some Offspring For TTT

Oh wow! That is so nostalgic for me. I had borrowed this cassette from a friend when I went for a 3-4 day vacation with my parents and sis. I was in the awkward junior in-college mode and had my headphones on all the time listening to this album on repeat. The reason I had borrowed this tape was for the song Pretty Fly for a White Guy which had a huge rotation on MTV and Fm radio at the time. I ended up loving Why Don't You Get A Job a LOT!!!
I think I must have been in my punk mode cause I remember loving "Have you ever", absolutely ADORED "Staring at the Sun", loved to sing Pretty Fly ("un dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seis" 🤣 ), hard rocking with "The Kids Aren't Alright", & LOVED the Job song!
I feel every kid at that time would love this album as it felt like all our favorite bands in one cassette. Why don't you get a job reminds me of the Beatles. Pay the Man reminds me of Led Zep and the first album of Pink Floyd. End of line reminds me of Iron Maiden. Great album. Sadly I did not follow up on the band. Good memories though. Wish we could discuss this album over some cold brew

Have You Ever is such an amazing song and the lyrics are really well thought out in general the song was a great opening for this album. I love the tonal shifts throughout the album as a whole, each song showcases their skills as musicians and their musical influences.

Haha, I was the exact same, as soon as I got to a certain age, music was a big part of my life, either listening to headphones or having it on the stereo. It still is today, and I love nothing more than throwing on some headphones and thinking. I'm a pretty visual thinker, so a lot of the time I tend to play out scenarios, which sometimes get turned into the short stories I write. Also, if I'm working on a short film, I play it out in my head in full which helps refine the script and come up with the storyboard. At this point, I should probably credit some of the bands I listen to at the end of a production.

That would be brilliant! I'm hoping to get to Hive Fest this year since I've missed the other years. It would be nice to be able to meet up with some fellow Hivers in person at it. I don't think the location has been revealed yet, but I'm keeping an eye out for it.
