Okay let's close out this last set. I knew it would be easier but I tried to include a couple stumpers.
1. (1990) Sinead O'Connor -- I do not want what I haven't got (way to go Mozzie & Mole)
2. REM - Losing my religion (way to go Mole)
3. Tori Amos - Crucify (awesome SD, this was one of my stumpers).
4. Soul Asylum - Runaway Train (way to go and good to see you Esteban)
5. Beck - Loser (way to go Mole-hater)
6. Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight tonight (way to go Mole & SD)
7. Sublime - What I got (way to go and good to see you Orwellscomp)
8. Sarah McLachlan - Angel (way to go Mole-hater and Mozzie)
9.
Massive Attack - Teardrop (my other stumper)
10. (1999) Creed - Higher (way to go Orwellscomp)
I LOVE chill-out music, but it grew out of electronica and Trip-hop, so I couldn't let the 90's go by without some sort of reference. Portishead would have been preferred, but that Massive Attack song received HUGE airplay all over, and if you think you've never heard it -- you're probably wrong.
Thievery Corporation, Morcheeba, Lamb, Tricky, Zero 7 -- yep yep.
Tori Amos is awesome, IMHO she's got a lot to do with the whole women's singer/songwriter movement of the 90's. Of course there were others before her, but still ... well, there ya go.
Avril? Alanis? Chantal Kreviazuk? Ummm. Hands down my favorite Canadian artist is Sarah McLachlan. If she hadn't married her friggin' drummer (bastard) I would have tried to be a roadie for her in the mid-90s. With a voice like that, she could look like Elmo for all I care. As I said, RM does chick-rock, unlike Mole.
Must be my inner Lesbian coming out. Don't worry, I won't bring up that whole Lesbimen thing again, although Terry has been lurking.
Harvey Danger?
Hah!
"
Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding." 'Nuff said.
"Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me.
Get crazy with the cheez-wiz."
'Nuff said.
Mole, regarding Brad -- yep, I'm feelin' ya. Look up the word "potential" and you see his picture (among others like Mr. Cobain, who was murdered, by the way). What could have been. Hard to believe that 1 month from today will be the 10th anniv of his death.
Angelus, I'm with you on the best Pumpkins song. Rat, Mole, Tamarin, Sealion, Marmoset, Mr. Bill, whatever's
in that cage, well, that is one FUCKING FANTASTIC GODPOUNDING-GOOD LYRIC.
SD, you takin' the reins again? Let me know. I could continue my verbose stint as guest Dee-Jay if you want -- but its your world, the rest of us are just livin' in it. Gotta go to sleep early tonight, getting a bit of a sniffle. And oh, by the way, here its 4:00am (but I don't go to work until 2pm).
I'm out.
RM
p.s. Its better to burn out than to fade away.
