"These days, one can hardly watch three commercials without hearing some obscure nugget taken out of context, but that was certainly not the case in 1993. Pete & Pete was among the first longform shows, cable or otherwise, to incorporate indie-rock and underground bands into its very fabric."
In honor of tomorrow night’s Pete & Pete retrospective shows at Bowery (tickets still available, I just checked!), indiepop guru Mike Appelstein counted down six of the show’s best musical moments. Michael Stipe, Luscious Jackson, and Fat Tulips ahoy!
“A Hard Day’s Pete” is the most poignant, meaningful, and true reflection on why we love music that’s ever been produced by humans.
