For every genre of music, there are inescapable bands each decade. If you like dance music from the 90s, you'd get Paul Oakenfold, Chemical Brothers, Carl Cox, and so on. If you like college rock of the 80s, the so-called birth of indie, you'd get Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., and Pavement. If you like punk rock from the 90s, you'd get The Mummies, Teengenerate, and the Oblivians. 

Jack Oblivian, known to his mother as Jack Yarber, is a human-sized monument in Memphis, a founding member of The Oblivians. While his original band has been laid to rest (and briefly resurrected at least a couple of times), Jack continues to make music with different groups and by himself.

These two songs are found on his recently released Sweet Thang single and Saturday Night Part 2 ten-inch EP (respectively). Both are available at fine electronic retailers everywhere, and both fucking rip. If you need something to groove to this weekend, to grit your teeth at, to look real nasty and downright filthy, this is it, fuck the new Wale CD, this is what you want.
