An unreleased version of Stone Temple Pilots‘ "Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart" is now available online. This version is included on the band's upcoming 25th anniversary edition their multi-platinum 1996 album Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop, which will be released on July 23rd. Drummer Eric Kretz told Stereogum, "So usually we would have one or two songs per album where we would record the music and not have any vocal ideas to accompany us. With this Early version of ‘Trippin‘, Scott had the rhythm tracks to work off of and this was his first day at singing the song. I really enjoy hearing him trying to work out the tongue twisting verse lyrics that are such a great counter rhythm to the music in the verses."
Old dogs and new tricks
The impact of the avant-garde.
I called my dad today to get his opinion on some things about music.
Yes, he’s Gary Briggs of Briggsy Boys fame; part of the highly lauded duo that play dim Sutherland Shire pubs and clubs about twice a year. Their setlist is a tapestry of 70s and 80s hits that set the sticky dance floor alight with the wayward legs and arms of forty-somethings. One such gem is Stone Temple Pilot’s
Plush, which my dad thinks isn’t popular enough to perform but my uncle likes too much to take off rotation. Uncle Mark is two years older so he wins.
