Out of Band II posted:toadies: possum kingdom Cracker is a hard band to pin down, genre-wise. They get lumped in with '90's alt-rock, but they have a pretty wide range. Johnny Hickman usually gets one good country track on each album. "Been Around the World" could have been a 70's album rock hit. Fun fact - Kerosene Hat was recorded on an old western movie set. You can hear a bit of an echo in the quiet parts.

twistedmentat posted:Though I think that the Grosse Point Blanke soundtrack is probably the earliest catalyst for the resurgence of 80s music. Towards the late 90s/very early 00s, to me it felt like there seemed to be an 80s nostalgia 'blip' that never really solidified despite a number of successful 80s-nostalgia stuff showing up like Romy and Michelle and The Wedding Singer, too. (Does Never Been Kissed count? It was a late 90s movie, but I thought the main character was supposed to have been more of a late 80s HS student) But I remember stuff like a Puff Daddy video that stopped dead in its tracks to do a bit from Harlem Nights, a rock band with their video pretty much doing the climax of Back to School, if I recall. Some of the 80s stuff being taken up as fashion things and so on. Ozzy was getting big on TV, I think some of the hair metal acts were getting some resurgence but that never really felt like we got a sort of full-on 80s nostalgia until well into the mid-naughts. That being said, I don't know if by the mid-00s we just had things like the Rock Band/Guitar Hero games, Transformers movies and performers more evoking an 80s style in things is the reason it feels like the 80s nostalgia feels much more pronounced and solidified to me by about 2005-2009 or so. Pastry of the Year posted:It was a thing for a bit. Wasn't there something similar with various UK acts being promoted as "The _________ UK" in the US? I thought someone said it was due to two different groups having rights to the same name, but in different countries. There was probably some US band called "Air" that it was easier to promote the other in the US with the additional identifier for a few years.

Pretty sure I brought it up before, but the 1994 Mortal Kombat soundtrack is preeeeeeeeetty 90's to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPSBJcL3FGI Edit: I did in fact bring this up. It's still so bizarre. I guarantee the cassette version of this is still sitting somewhere at my parent's place. Double Edit: Is it just me, or is 90's techno super easy to identify? I don't listen to much electronica stuff, but there seems to be something about 90's and early 2000 techno that just dates it. The Repo Man has a new favorite as of 10:52 on Apr 15, 2017 |

Possum Kingdom was a one hit wonder, but Rubberneck is an awesome album start to finish. It gets heavy rotation on my playlists. It's definitely worth looking into if youve only.ever heard that one track.

There was probably some US band called "Air" that it was easier to promote the other in the US with the additional identifier for a few years. Off the top of my head, there were the Charlatans (billed in the US as the Charlatans UK) and Suede (billed in the US as the London Suede). I think the "French Band" thing that Air had was just a one-off affectation, though, and it probably tripped up whoever wrote that track listing. They're not billed as "Air French Band" on any recording released before or after Moon Safari. I guess it's like if you see "Academy Award Winner Morgan Freeman" on a poster, you don't assume his parents were just really prescient.

It always made me think when you were trying to come up with a user name and the one you wanted was already taken so you put in a number. WeedMastaSnipa is already taken? gently caress! Weedmastasnipa420...no still taken....Weedmastasnipa42069...Ah xWeedmastasnipa42069 is not taken.

Miramax or whoever releasing HK action movies with new rap soundtracks in the US seemed to be a thing in the late 90s for a while. edit: Also, talking of Miramax, I guess a thing is the 90s feel like the last gasp (no pun intended) of smoking in film.

The Jurassic Park techno remix has been inexplicably buried in history. https://youtu.be/MYntNIqoF3U I might be the only person that legitimately likes the songs on Daytona USA. I spent countless hours playing that game on Saturn even with the terrible background pop-up issues. How many racing games let you race against stock cars as a horse?

I worked at Sam Goody when Romeo and Juliet was released on VHS ( don't think DVDs where a thing yet?) Anyways. I have probably seen that movie more than any other film in my life but...With no sound and never straight through cause it was constantly on the screens while I was working. Goddamn that soundtrack as well.

Anyone remember Catdog? Reading this thread reminded me of how my dad (a normally rational and sane man) wouldn't let us watch Catdog. His explanation was it was the dumbest idea he had ever seen and a cat and dog could not be attached. He carries that hate with him to this day and still gets pissed if any of his children mention Catdog.

I remember it and I was allowed to watch it but I distinctly recall my own father saying it was one of the worst things he'd ever seen. Was that one of the would-be "gross out" (probably not the best way of putting it, but in that kind of wheelhouse) cartoons that showed up in the wake of Ren & Stimpy? Others that occur to me included Cow and Chicken and 2 Stupid Dogs.

I think everything on Nick and cartoon network had some level of gross out humor. That's the most 90s thing.

On the subject of 90s music, this for some reason got stuck in my head recently even though I haven't heard it in at least 15 years. Well, this, to be specific: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUyt3oTNI90. My Jewish friends used to blast this all the time.

I know the animaniac's writers had this thing where if they wanted to slip in a bad joke they would write something even worse they knew the censors would say no to, therefore making their original joke look not nearly as bad and then they could be "well can we do this instead?" and the censors would say "sure". The "Finger prince" joke wasn't supposed to be one of the ones they approved but I guess whoever was auditing the episode that day didn't pick up on it.

At one point they were playing a game that was clearly Spank the Monkey:  Even some of the non-dirty jokes were kinda dark/weird for a kids cartoon. Like one of the times they go to Chokey/Chewy chicken, before they arrive they see a friend of theirs, a literal chicken, who says she's going to a job interview for Chewy/Chokey Chicken...it then heavily implies she "got the job" and is killed and Heffer may in fact even be eating her.
