To keep in line with campy 90's poo poo, XM/Sirius now has a "90's" channel. All kinds of 90's references in their interludes (Clarissa Explains it All, Gameboy Tetris Song, dial up modem sounds) I used to mess with my parents about them listening to the 50's and 60's channel. Told them about the 90's one, they replied "Well you are getting old"

I went to a Catholic elementary school and every Good Friday the whole school would gather in the cafeteria. They would put on a slide show of the Stations of the Cross set to that song. That song is ingrained in my brain like you would not believe.

 Random. But I had one. Remembered seeing it at Toys R Us. "USE BARCODES FROM EVERYDAY ITEMS" The best part was drawing the character/item that it made on index cards, taping the barcode to the back and making your own poo poo. I spent more time making cool characters than worrying that my can of green beans only had 10hp and 2attack. Bro Nerd Alpha has a new favorite as of 03:53 on Mar 2, 2013 |

I still have the boombox I got for Christmas one year that had two cassette decks and a radio hookup. I spent a lot of time trying to catch specific songs on the radio and then queue them up just right so I could cross-record mixtapes. And remember that trading card boom just before Magic took off? Everyone had binders full of cards even though the only game you could play with them was micro-economics.

I recall seeing an episode of Pop-Up Video featuring "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You". Mutt Lange and Bryan Adams tried to a range of female vocalists to take on the song, including Annie Lennox, Sinéad O'Connor, Kate Bush and several others, and Adams only recorded it himself when they all turned him down. By all accounts, the film's producers hated the song (it was too modern, they said, not because it had a piano or electric guitars, but because of the drums) and didn't want it in the movie, but eventually relented and agreed to tack it on over the end credits. Of course, it became the biggest single of 1991 nearly everywhere in the world.

In grade school there was only one way to tell the cool kids apart from the losers. All the cool kids rocked these Goldeneye watches with 007 hologram. Also, the toy I always wanted but never got. The Micro Machienes Super Van City!   Plus, the best days at school were when the teachers were to lazy to teach and would put on the Eyewitness learning videos. The theme song got me so pumped up back them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n3GJ-cYn6I

I had a similar van-turns-into-town toy but I seem to remember it not being that specific van... anyway that reminded me of the motherfucking Car City Carpet:  I spent hours driving around that thing with my friends when I was a kid. Now we have an old one in the office along with a box of cars for when people have to bring their kids in after the afterschool place lets out so I get to be the mayor of Car City once more

Keen to encourage this interest, my parents got my the Eyewitness video concerning the solar system for my birthday one year, and there was one bit that I always found supremely disturbing, a menacing narrator who intoned, "MANY ASTRONOMERS BELIEVE THAT VENUS... IS THE PLANET... CLOSEST... TO HELL."

I went to a Christian school from kindergarten to 6th grade, and we got our fair share of right-wing Christian propaganda. My friend and I had our own Mystery Science Theater 3000 sessions when we were shown a video of this dude's music videos in 6th grade. Good times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofHTh9EKzr4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzf9PwzTwhY Apparently Jewish nerd = witch!

Skeleton Ape posted:Do the Bartman! A number one single in the UK in the year of its release. I understand that it was a Michael Jackson co-write. The Simpsons is so deeply ingrained in pop culture at this point that it's a little bemusing to realise that it was such a massive phenomenon when it was broadcast the first time. I mean, celebrity guests in the programme are incredibly passé at this point, but I imagine getting, say, Aerosmith to appear in season three at the height of their fame was quite a coup.

Okay, check this out, because it's certifiable late-nineties camp. Between 1998 and 1999, Tom Jones mounted a successful comeback with the album Reload, consisting mainly of re-recordings of his old hits as collaborations with contemporary artists. It also included two new tracks, and this was one of them. I remember it being huge when I was in primary school. A few years later, it lead to this, which is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen.

I think that had some nonsense about the Mars face in it. I only remember it because I used to play with one of Graham Hancock's kids at the time and he was way excited about it. I may have missed it, but I haven't seen Sliders, Seaquest DSV (the one with the dolphin that could talk to people by wearing a headset and a different cast every series) or Worms mentioned yet.    Also there was a massive fad for popper pants but they HAD to be Adidas.  E: fixed youtube link. Ktb has a new favorite as of 04:01 on Mar 5, 2013 |

Does anyone remember what was essentially a magazine in CDROM form sent out through the mail in the mid 90s? It was primarily music focused and had a few buildings to click on with different content in each one. I've been wracking my brain for a while trying to recall the name of it. EDIT: Of course I found it immediately on google. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAUNCH_Media

Along the same lines, I'm always kind of surprised when I see that they still have those magazines that feature a free CD. Seems like they could just include a code to download the content off their website.
