      I was a huge Pumpkins fan and saw Hum open up for them in 1998 on the Adore tour. Ended up enjoying Hum's set more, even though I only knew a couple songs. Adore was great and all, but wasn't a fan of that tour in particular... too much twinkley piano and the dual drummers that just sounded off. So, for me, Hum stole the show... I wished they had a longer set.

My husband had cable all his life (I didn’t till around 1999) and watched mtv all the time and never saw them either. How?? This stuff is amazing!!!! It should have been HUGE!!

    The fact that Dimpsey appears in 2:00 in a hunting hat is meaningful to me because it reminds me of Holden Caulfield. It's my favorite literary character in a clip of one of my favorite bands.
    P.S: It's kind of ironic too, in a good way, because HUM makes part of that feeler bands fever from the mid to late 90s. Shoegaze. Midwest emo. Post-hardcore. All of it are stuff that a modern Holden Caulfield would probably enjoy.

    It was early 90's I was 12 years old. HMV used to have CD's you could listen to in their stores. I put-on a set of their headphones and HUM's "I Hate It Too" was the first song that came on. I was HOOKED! HUM is and will always be my favourite band, I own every album and EP they've ever produced. It was I believe 1998 my brother and I had scored tickets to see them play in Toronto, it would be my first time getting to see them live. I was freaking out! They were doing a cross Canada tour if I'm not mistaken. I ended up getting sick and couldn't go to the show. They then were in a car accident following that show, damaged their tour van, and that was it. They never toured in Canada again and I never got to see them. I really wish that one day they would release new music.

    1995 summer before my Jr. year HS, I was visiting my grandparents. Well, sent there to be lectured for getting caught smoking trees. I was sitting in Grandpas recliner watching 120mins late one night eating goldfish. Stars came on and I just sat there asking who the fuck is this. I always hear a song and forget the name and band before buying it. Not this time. I wrote down HUM and Stars. Got to Hastings as fast as I could next few days and bought You'd Prefer An Astronaut. Brought that CD back to Oklahoma with me and it instantly created dozens of HUM fans when they heard it.

    I love how endless music discovery is, especially when we’re talking about past decades. For me, my introduction to the 90s was obviously through popular groups like Nirvana, RHCP, and the like. And then, you really dig deep into the other stuff going on from that era-Hum, Failure, anything indie (MBV, Pavement)…God, music is an endless, beautiful scavenger hunt (as I always say).

    Lyrics: (Corrected)
    Morning scatters in and I am steady like a drug
    Feeling out this one
    She wakes up smashed as hell and steadies her ass against the rail
    And bends before the pounding rain
    She had the widest bright ideas all along about my love
    And I need this fucking fix and I beg her to pick from
    One of a million ways to feel no pain
    The morning after bends reflected in and I can hardly stand
    The way this whole thing makes me seem
    She climbs out from a dream with lungs hardening
    She screams a stereo scream
    And bends before astounding rain
    She's got a system made of metal with magnet bits inside her brain
    She opens her box of tricks and begs me to pick from
    One of a billion ways to feel no pain
    She had the widest bright ideas
    That all the world would sleep away until the nightmare ends
    Everyone is on
    Wait
    Wait on the end
    Hold me up tight, let me breathe now
    She had the widest bright ideas
    That all the world would sleep away until the nightmare ends
    Everyone is on
    Wait
    Wait on the end
    Hold me up right, let me breathe now!!!!!
