The very first time I heard of Sebadoh, it was the soundtrack to KIDS, a controversial film made in the mid nineties about a boy named Telly who deflowers young and naive virgins and unknowingly gives them HIV in the process of deflowering them, the second to last track on this album 'Spoiled' played while the credits rolled in the end, which seemed pretty fitting, as the film itself was dark and gray in subject matter, it wasn't until months later when I downloaded III, the seemingly third official release from Sebadoh, that I knew that this was going to be my favorite band, and it was, it was hissy, and demo-quality, stark, almost...
Reprising the use of a four-track cassette recorder, Lou Barlow, Eric Gaffney (who sings lead vox on "As The World Dies, the Eyes of God Grow Bigger.) and a few other people, basically kick started a genre that would soon be known best to hipsters and others alike, if you just go on a lyric site and scroll down the titles of their songs, you'll know that some of these songs are influenced by the use of marijuana, like one track on this album called 'Smoke A Bowl', heck, one of their tapes was called "Weed Forestin'"
When III was first released in August-September 1991, it was a cassette only release I think, which seemed fitting since it was lo-fi and cassette quality, but it wasn't released on CD until 1992, and then reissued in a 2CD set, having loads of goodies on the second disk, I will only put a link to the first disk, which is the remastered version of III, hereeeee you go!:
