Ride - “Tarantula”
This is pretty much "the worst Ride record there is" according to most fans of the band I know. For some reason I’ve been listening to it allot lately. "Tarantula" is the band’s last record and they actually broke up right before it was released. They were similar to The Jesus & Mary Chain… but not quite as pissed off, cool or good. Andy Bell, the chap who sings all but one song on this record, now plays bass in pretty much the coolest band on the planet… Oasis. How much is that guy winning at life? Playing rad songs, hanging out with Liam and Noel all the time and talking about how cool they are… that shit must rule! Anyways, if you don’t own any Ride records I’d say pick up "OX4 - The Best Of Ride"… it’s a good place to start and includes a killer cover of The Creation’s "How Does It Feel To Feel?" not to mention "Chelsea Girl" and "Drive Blind" (two of my favorite jams by these dudes). Summer’s here!
