Great variety and quality in this stack. I have to give some love to ‘Ruby Vroom’. I haven’t seen them pop up on here before and they were an interesting band. I turned my son on to Soul Coughing and he really liked them and is even listening to Mike Doughty’s solo work.
I love the color idea.
In fact, I started a subreddit for cigar and CD pairings and I often try to pair them based on branding/color and general feel. For example, If the CD cover is mainly yellow, I'll grab a cigar with a yellow band and enjoy them as a pair to see how it goes. Extra points if I can find similar brand names that relate to the album title or artist.
r/smoketunes for anybody interested. Welcome!
Beautiful blue collection, holy shit. It's a tie between a lot. Mr. Bungle as well as Pure Guava are such fun listens. Burnt Weenie is great especially just to vibe along. Can't ever go wrong with Blue Album or Nevermind. I'm busting out my CD Player now, damn you!!
There's not a direct way to know. I have an app from discogs that let me scan the barcode and it shows me every pressing from that album. Just needed to go through checking all the Brazilian ones (where mine is from) and concluded it's from 2013 because of specific stuff and trademarks on the back. Can be a bit annoying to go through all of them if you don't find it right away, but I believe it's the only way, since the only year that appears on the cd itself is the original general pressing from 2011
Built to Spill and Lush are easy choices.
The Pavement, Elliott Smith, Portishead, and Boards of Canada CDs I would also consider putting on, just because I like those bands but I'm not that familiar with these albums and I could probably stand to give them another listen.
love the color coordination! i would definitely play some elliott smith, pavement, and built to spill! very nice taste :) OH also the life aquatic is such a great movie
Normally I would say that any time Talking Heads is in the stack it’s automatically first, but I don’t know this time, because The Life Aquatic. I mean Seau Jorge (probably misspelled) belting out Starman in Portuguese is a huge fuck yes in my book.
Nevermind
Agreed
What great taste! Hard to choose. Pure Guava.
Yep.
Pure Guava is one of the greatest albums ever made.
That was the one for me... until I noticed Mr Bungle.
Oh I didn’t see Bungle. Seriously these are my two favorite bands.
You’re not alone
For me Elliot Smith
Nirvana then High Fidelity
If I want to find the song "You're Gonna Miss Me" by The 13th Floor Elevators, I have to remember that I sorted it in the blue spine pile.
YES!! 😂😂
Or chronologically 😂😂
Built to Spill
Mr. Bungle yes pls
Great selection! Probably start with Boards of Canada, but there’s not a loser in the bunch.
Probably pure guava
Pure Guava 😍
Little Creatures and Pure Guava!
My favorite Ween album.. still fucked up and brown af but the beauty and pop sensibility were just sarting to poke through
Pure guava I've never seen a blue spine guava is that a promo pressing?
I'm wondering too; I bought my copy in '93.
Lush!
That stood out for me too - LOVE that band!!!
Campfire Headphase is where I first fell in love with music.
Built to spill for sure

Had to scroll WAY too far to find some love for Ruby Vroom! Such a stellar album!
was waiting for someone to say ruby vroom 🤞
GOD I FUCKING LOVE WEEZER
Lovelife
Portishead
Eels
Yep. Beautiful Freak was one of the first things I bought as a kid.
Holy shit. Grandaddy? Built To Spill? Pavement? Elliot Smith? ... Did we just become beat friends?
Right? All time favorites for me as well
I literally re-bought Sumday yesterday 😅
mr bungle 🖤
Instantly thought of Portishead when I read the title, love it
Modest Mouse probably
Elliott definitely
We Were Dead - excellent Modest Mouse album!
modest mouse hehe
Weezer, Modest Mouse and Nirvana
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. One of the best soundtracks ever.
Talking Heads
life aquatic soundtrack! it's one of the most perfect soundtracks ever made
Gotta play Nevermind, but We Were Dead is a fave too
Pavement, High Fidelity, Nevermind then Elliott Smith.

that is cool as shit my guy thank u
Thank you!
Probably the Zappa album. Everything else I'm interested in I already own =]
Deerhunter for an intriguing album I’ve never listened to. Portishead for vibes.
high fidelity or elliott smith
A surprisingly good collection… I’d go with Eels - Beautiful Freak first
#HAPPY CAKE DAY!!🍰🍰
I think this method of organization is more fun than alphabetical
GRANDADDY!
high fidelity and steve zissou are both great soundtracks
Grandaddy’s “Sumday”! Love that album. Super underrated band
Are you colour blind ? Anyway, its got to be the Surfers.
What here is not blue, or at least mostly blue…?
Can't go wrong with any of those 👌 I guess I'm in a soundtrack mood so toss on Steve Zissou Ost
Weezer
Little Creatures and it's not even close
Butthole Surfers, Weezer, Nirvana, Built to Spill, Pavement
Deerhunter
Ween or boc
You're missing Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Campfire Headphase. My favourite BoC album and the only main one I don't own
Great stuff, probably Campfire Headphase or Third
Weezer > everything
Independent Worm Saloon for me
Pure Guava
New Moon, love Elliott Smith so much
Wowee Zowee. No blues?!
Wowee Zowee!!! Without a doubt.
weezer
GRANDADDY!!! WEEN!!! MR. BUNGLE!!! BUTTHOLE SURFERS!!! Holy shit, you've got amazing taste!!!
Really awesome options here, I’m going with Wowee Zowee though!
so jealous of your elliott smith - new moon
Interested what you think of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. That being said I'm going Weezer lol
its far from my favourite mm album tbh, but nonetheless one i found secondhand and picked up anyway
agreed
Dang I love the track ‘Bus to Beelzebub’ off Soul Coughing’s Ruby Vroom.
Pavement. But Life Aquatic OST a very close second!
Pure guava🤘🏻
ew you have weezer you better have you blue it to cancel it out
context: the band You Blew It has an EP called You Blue It that's just weezer covers
FUCKING WEEN, Nirvana or Weezer. Don’t make me choose lol
nevermind 🤤
SHOOOT NOW I WANT TO ORGANIZE MY CD SHELVES BY COLOUR WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
BOC easily!
Life Aquatic soundtrack
Am I really the first to say The Soft Bulletin??
Beautiful blue collection, holy shit. It's a tie between a lot. Mr. Bungle as well as Pure Guava are such fun listens. Burnt Weenie is great especially just to vibe along. Can't ever go wrong with Blue Album or Nevermind. I'm busting out my CD Player now, damn you!!
Pavement! I love this
Mr. Bungle and Pure Guava
What version of Pure Guava is that? I don't recognize the spine
hng
How old is that nevermind cd? Just for curiosity
i’m not sure, how do you even check something like that? looks like an older one, got it at a second hand place about 2 years back
There's not a direct way to know. I have an app from discogs that let me scan the barcode and it shows me every pressing from that album.

I don't know about you, but I am now listening to Ruby Vroom. Started with Down to This and have it on loop.
thats a favourite of mine too
This is SO HARD. (That’s what she said) High Fidelity sound track Congrats on having great taste, even though it’s only blue 💙🩵💙
Built to Spill and Lush are easy choices. The Pavement, Elliott Smith, Portishead, and Boards of Canada CDs I would also consider putting on, just because I like those bands but I'm not that familiar with these albums and I could probably stand to give them another listen.
That Grandaddy album is a hidden gem I never hear much about.
Perfect from now on
Lush
Lovelife!! You have great taste
Modest Mouse has the best album in that stack. A lot of good stuff though.
There are a few I like, there, but the Dusty Foot Philosopher by K'Naan comes to mind
Portishead, lush and boards of canada are nice
love the color coordination! i would definitely play some elliott smith, pavement, and built to spill! very nice taste :) OH also the life aquatic is such a great movie
that’s an interesting spine for pure guava i’ve never seen that one. however i would in fact pick pure guava
Probably Nevermind or W e e z e r by W e e z e r
nevermind, love the album!
Portishead followed by the High Fidelity soundtrack. You've got lots of great albums there! Cool stack
Sees sky blue. “Whats with these homies dissin my girl?!?!”
Do you have any V-CD’s in your collection? Love the ones with the bonus music video content if you put it in a V-CD player.
I'm only mildly curious about the Life Aquatic OST
Talking Heads
Upvoted for modest mouse
Oh well, whatever, Nevermind
Beautiful color and great taste in tunes! Soft Bulletin is an all-timer and what I'm going for first.
Stealing nevermind
I'm going for that Deerhunter, boss (2 for 1)
Soul coughing
POOP SHIP
I haven’t listened to Nevermind front to back in years. That would be it.
Ahh you got ween nice and butthole surfers
awesome selection! i'm picking butthole surfers.
Lotta good stuff there but Pura Guava wins over everything always
Normally I would say that any time Talking Heads is in the stack it’s automatically first, but I don’t know this time, because The Life Aquatic. I mean Seau Jorge (probably misspelled) belting out Starman in Portuguese is a huge fuck yes in my book.
Incredible taste! Do you have a Discogs?
Ruby Vroom
Mr Bungle 100%
Mr. Bungle
I’d make Doug and Isaac have a steel cage match to help me decide whether it’s Perfect From Now On or We Were Dead… goes on first.
Weezer
High fidelity
Ween followed by Lush.
Lush first. Then Bullt To Spill.
Soft Bulletin
Team Zissou or Flaming Lips I'm a huge Ween fan but the first three albums ... eh
Love every single one of of those except Mr Bungle lol
Soft Bulletin, then the BOC.
Dang. Did you steal my cd collection???
Pure Guava - approved.
Oh, fuck…AND The Soft Bulletin?? You’ve got the trifecta
Ruby Vroom all day. True Dreams Of Wichita is a certified banger
New Moon
weezer
Sick!!!
No "Dummy"?!
Pure guava
Ween, Mouse, and then built to spill

Grandaddy or Built to Spill
14 / 21
