30 years ago now October 1st 1996 one of my favorite debut albums and favorite albums in general Matchbox Twenty’s Yourself or Someone Like You was released

When it was released it only sold around 600 copies it’s first week but then after it was discovered more after its slow opening it went to be Diamond Certified in the United States going 12x Platinum selling 12 million albums in the United States and selling 15 million albums worldwide becoming of the most successful selling debut Rock albums

3 A.M,Push,Long Day,Real World and Back 2 Good have become 90s rock and radio staples and those songs have been certified multi platinum in the United States

I always liked how it feels like Stone Temple Pilots meets R.E.M and meets Tom Petty

i'm not a big matchbox twenty fan but real world is a top tier sing along. especially when you have a few drinks in the system.

I’m going to cash in on a birthday sub reward from Jersey Mike’s for lunch and see a new (to me) soccer shop in the neighborhood today.

Ended up treating myself to a Dash jersey since it’s cool.

It's also coming up on the 20th anniversary of one of my favorite debut albums, Robbers & Cowards by Cold War Kids. I think roughly half of it has been on my Spotify end-of-year playlist every year since I discovered it.

I've been listening to Geese and Angine de Poitrine ever since the music festival. My listening was a little stuck in a rut of not finding new music.
