I've covered Sahm in more detail elsewhere. Of these Paganicons, Worldbroken, and Past Lives are all great (the latter two are live albums, but Worldbroken is full of original material), but Surviving You and especially We Became Snakes are flat-out stellar.ĭoug Sahm - 'Give Back The Key To My Heart' and 'Village Girl.' Two excellent Sahm songs, the former covered quite notably by Uncle Tupelo. As I will report when I get to Universal Congress Of, Baiza continued making some of the most interesting music under the SST punk umbrella. I think that Watt's friendship with Baiza and familiarity with Baiza's skronk-jazz style is what led him to start working with Nels Cline in the 90s, which is what eventually led to Cline joining Wilco and entering the general guitar god pantheon rather than just the pantheon of the few. Boon and shared their love for avant-noise and free jazz, but took this to a more extreme place than the Minutemen. This is the great Joe Baiza's brilliant hardcore/fake jazz outfit who recorded for SST back in the 80s.
