In 1995, The Feebs (aka Jim O'Shaughnessy) recorded an e.p. in (or maybe near) Raleigh, North Carolina. It sounds like 1995. It rocks like 1995. Jim and Dave (former drummer with Jack's Basement) rented out a practice room where they banged out these four tracks. A bit straightforward sound-wise for The Feebs (lacking the clicks and whirrs of his other recordings),
Forage captured that particular mid-90s zeitgeist in which we were all enmeshed.
The Feebs would go on the release a number of other significant LPs throughout the 90s and beyond.
Featured today is the lead track, "Charity." If we are indeed our own favorite charities, make a donation of this song in your name to yourself. And turn it up! Yeah, it's 1995, but it ain't the Goo Goo Dolls!
