Smells Like Alternative

What a great opening track from 1992’s Grave Dancers Union.
Why is this song so awesome, just listen to the opening guitar riff and read these lyrics:
Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn’t rang for so long
And the time flys by, like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
I’m waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there?
These hang ups are getting me down

This past Monday several of the music bloggers here posted a Top 10 albums to take with you on a deserted island list. Well, I wasn’t really up to speed with everyone else, but just for fun, I decided to make my own list.
To make this task easier I’ve set a few guidelines for myself, which include: I am picking albums from only the 1990’s and from artists that are in the “alternative” category. This makes sense since that’s what my blog is about!
Ok, enough jibber jabber and on with the list.

Alice in Chains founder/guitarist, Jerry Cantrell, will be auctioning off some clothes for charity.
The money raised from the auction will go towards MusiCares and the Layne Staley Fund. The auction will begin on November 5 and will end on November 26. Cantrell will also be putting up items for the Grammy Charity Holiday Auction from November 26 to December 6.
Both auctions will take place at Ebay, obviously.
Pretty cool if you need some rock star memorabilia,  and even more importantly, it goes towards charity.
