I'm setting up a laptop for Amy's niece, putting firefox and other good software on for her and I find that it comes with a couple of albums. One of the included artists is "The Posies". "Allright!" I think to my self, "It is about time Fairy Rock came to the main stream"

I was disappointed. I was expecting this:

Oh man, the Posies were one-hit wonders from my high school days. I thought they were foxy back then, when "Dream all day" was on high rotation on 120 minutes.

The only shame is that as a professional fairy she's already given up her eligibility to compete as an amateur in the Fairy Olympics.

I think at least a few members of the Posies wound up serving in the nineties Big Star "reunion" lineup behind Alex Chilton, but aside from that I don't recall a damn thing about their body of work.

The "Alternative" label to me just harkens back to the dismal days of the eighties and early nineties when rock radio was all about middle-aged baby boomers; until Lollapalooza a lot of the best rock acts in the country couldn't get played on mainstream radio because it was essentially reserved for people in their forties. Took for-fucking-ever for the Boomers' kids to get old enough to have a meaningful impact on the Biznis so finally they could wrench the market away from their elders' arthritic grip. And of course by then it was too late for a whole generation of brilliant musicians.
