If you knew earth from their drone-heavy works like Earth 2, chances are you wouldn't automatically associate their sound with muscle cars and revving engines. While the founders of ambient-drone do keep elements of their earlier work in their fifth album, Pentastar: In The Style of Demons, you can feel the band beginning to stretch out into new musical and visual territory. Case in point is the lime green Chrysler on the cover. Songs go back and forth to spacious compositions to heavy, sludgy rockers that would pair nicely with burning rubber on hot pavement. This would be the band's last record before going on hiatus as guitarist Dylan Carlson struggled with a heroin addiction and grappled with the death of his friend Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. - DH

“My grandma always heard me singing at home, and she said, ‘I’m gonna put your ass in the youth choir,’” remembers Durand Jones. “I was reluctant. But one day the organist could hear me in the choir, and said ‘boy I’m gonna give you a song.’ So I sang the song… the whole church just flipped out. People were running and jumping and afterwards they were giving me money and stuff. Man it was really cool. That’s when the realization came that maybe I could make something of this.”

SIX FINGER SATELLITE
LIVE AT THE A.C.I. 7" Single, 1996
Six Finger Satellite take a page from Johnny Cash's book with this single recorded live at a prison... or wait, did they? Though they titled it Live at the A.C.I. and included a cease and desist note from a Rhode Island Correctiona Facility on the back cover asking the band not to share their performance, none of that really happened and the letter was a fake. The band even posed in front of the prison on the cover for added faux-authenticity.

BEACH BOYS
I JUST WASN'T MADE FOR THESE TIMES 7" Single, 1996
In 1996, Sub Pop released a 7-inch single from up-and-coming surf-pop act... The Beach Boys? The single was licensed to the Seattle label by Capitol Records as part of a promotion for a Pet Sounds reissue box set and featured new stereo mixes of "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times," "Here Today," and an a capella version of "Wouldn't It Be Nice." Though the release performed well, it wasn't met with enthusiasm from everyone. In a 1996 Seattle Times article, local writer Charles Cross is quoted calling it "a complete bastardization of what Sub Pop is about." The Times' itself says of the changes within the label, "This is more or less your dad's Buick." Sub Pop just wasn't made for those times.
