Bellybutton - Jellyfish

[hippie_chick]

I wanted to put a CD on for a change. Looked in my handy dandy "most listened to" CD case and pulled out a complete gem.

I'm listening to Jellyfish's "Bellybutton". I have been in love with this album since it came out. Finally am getting 'round to ripping it for my playlist, so I thought I'd post this to share it with you since it's now on my computer.

Fantastic power pop! If you like Squeeze and The Beatles with a touch of Queen and maybe a little Badfinger , you'll love Jellyfish. Trust me here. It's a great album. So is "Spilt Milk" , but this one will always have all my love.



Track Listing:

The Man I Used To Be
That Is Why
The King Is Half-Undressed
I Wanna Stay Home
She Still Loves Him
All I Want Is Everything
Now She Knows She's Wrong
Bedspring Kiss
Baby's Coming Back
Calling Sarah

I particularly love "She Still Loves Him", "Bedspring Kiss", and "Baby's Coming Back". "Baby's..." is the song that got me into them and made me buy "Bellybutton" in the first place. Just that great hook! I remember playing this album to death at the record store when I was working there and it brings back fun memories. I was very sad that they left us with a legacy of only two albums and did not go on to become just incredibly huge. But there were creative differences, and as well, grunge exploded onto the scene so Jellyfish fell by the wayside.

Download it for yourself here (SendSpace - limited availability) because I simply must share the love. JELLY LOVE!♥

I've never heard of them before but I like their sound from what I heard in the video! The boy will definitely like them also so I am gonna get it for him for the holidays. Yay for a gift being selected!

You won't be disappointed. Go to YouTube and check out the vid for "Baby's Coming Back" as well. ;)

Yay for new music! I've been on a White Stripes run for a month now so I needed something new to listen to.

Their second album _Spilt Milk_ is even better, a masterpiece.

Oh, I like that one also! I had to go listen to some of the songs on iTunes and I love the beat in Bye Bye Bye.

I love that one too. I put a track or two on a mix for Fish awhile back. I love the stuff those guys did on Ringo's Time Takes Time CD too :)

I LOVE the Jellyfish. Have both albums, the boxset, live bootlegs, etc. I even bought the Puffy Ami Yumi albums just because Andy Sturmer wrote songs for them. This is the one band I would love to get back together.

Wow, thanks for that download. I have this record only on cassette, but now I have it in my iTunes!

I'm downloading it now, thankyou!! I haven't heard of any of their stuff before so I can't wait to listen to it!
