I can't believe this exists. Someone did a 15 minute documentary on Whale, one of my favorite 90s bands. They only had two albums but I have 14 CDs by them, which might be their entire output. So Pixies influenced! So sleazy! (Their grungey-slow-grind cover of Darling Nikki is just... *chef's kiss*.) Tricky co-wrote/produced half their first album, before Maxinquaye. I finally got to see them

I finally got to see them live in 1998 opening for Tricky on the Angels with Dirty Faces tour at The Fillmore, and they killed it, and then I saw them again headlining the following night at Bimbo’s, and nobody came, and they were clearly angry about that and kinda jerky. I forgave them and loved them anyway.
