I am on such a weird '90s kick right now...
I don't get it. Not sure where this is coming from...my study music has turned into my high school walkman mix tape. Wait, actually, no. No. My high school CD-Man was never this good. I didn't get into good music until freshman year at the Zoo. Yes we had CDs then...and I am going to pick on Antitool mostly because I can (Rank Hath It's Privileges, and experience makes debauched ruins of even the best of us, and by that I mean Pidge of course, not me. Never. Nope.) This is random. I need a break. Denver Braa Yes That's His Real Name preserve me, I'm losin' it. I'm riding with L'Empereur at Borodino....
Let's see, in the past three days I've listened to almost nothing but:
My Bloody Valentine GUITAR. Nothing but GUITAR. Wall of GUITAR. WHAT?? I CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE OF THIS WALL OF GUITAR!!!! AND FLUTE. THERE IS A WALL OF FLUTE! FLAUTIST!
Jawbreaker: Because if I didn't throw something obscure at you, I wouldn't be MOGS. Save your Generation, even though that's not the song I linked.
Teenage Fanclub "I didn't want to hurt you, whoah-yeah" Sometimes I think these guys were the Ur-'90s band. If you want to sound like an academic, you have to say that something is the Ur-something. It makes you sound really, really smart.
Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul from the Judgment Night Soundtrack "You played yourself" De La Soul...before they started playing second fiddle to little Japanese cartoon girls...c'mon, we all know it's Noodle's band anyway.....let it go.
Nine Inch mOGS....Actually, there were all these bands we liked to call "Five Inch Nails" (Gravity Kills), and of course Stabbing Westward....who were more like Three Inch Nails, no I'm sorry, that's Linkin Park.
Charlatans (aka Charlatans UK) "WEIRDO" ...I wasn't much for Madchester otherwise...most tactical organ riff, ever.
The Rentals...because Friends of P are down with me. or something. (Warning: the previous video features a class-C nerd explosion - Ozma and the RENTALS and former Weezer members together at once. I blame quantum tunneling)
I always liked Juliana Hatfield's One Good Song. And Liz Phair's too.
Weezer (yes Antitool, they were around before 2000) "My name is JONAS!!" You have to respect the fact that these guys once played a Nirvana covers show under the name "Goat Punishment." Antitool knows all about goat punishment, he lives in the Northern Tier in an underground silo. It gets a little boring up there. ;) Say It Ain't So!
Nirvana ("Grandma take me home, grandma take me home...")
Guided by Voices ("I am a scientist, I seek to understand...") ....nothing else behaves like Antitool....Except for TOOL
Soup Dragons (remember them? "Divine thing")
Green Day "It all keeps addin' up...."
Metallica "Exxxxxiiittttttt Liiigggggghhhhtttt" and one scary ass old man. And one scared little boy. Yes that means Antitool.
Arrested Development (aka: rap music safe for white people) "Take me to another place"
US3 "Funky. Funky." (okay so there was other "safe" rap music) ;)
Oasis (before they started to suck) "I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic..." This song deserves to be played at grotesquely loud volumes. Absurdly loud even.
Ben Folds Five "Give me my money back, give me my money back you..."
Foo Fighters "Fingernails are pretty...fingernails are goood...." (Yes Antitool, they were also around before 2000)
Smashing Pumpkins (also before they started to suck) "Today is the greatest.....url I've ever known".... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHUd896Sur0
Face it Antitool. 90's rule OK? (well actually, Dandy Warhols rule, except when they suck) The 2000's suck :) Gen X will have it's REVENGE!!!!!!!!
