I mean, I'm sure boomers see a lot more of them than I do, but as a teen I feel like there were a lot more floating around then. You must not be on Facebook. That's where all that stuff goes now. Never changes.

twistedmentat posted:I was thinking how its weird the Cure song I hear the most is Friday I'm In Love. I guess it was their last major hit? It's just weird because like Just Like Heaven is a superior song but its just as poppy and happy as the other. Im not gonna comment on personal taste, but Just like heaven is nowhere near as catchy or has even close to as good a hook as Friday im in love. Makes perfect sense to me.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:it's "let's go to bed" actually Fascination Street or Lullaby. Friday I'm in Love does have the great line "Its such a wonderful sight to see you eat in the middle of the night". I'm glad I lived in a market that was big enough to have a good alt rock station that would play a variety of stuff, not just modern alt right, so you'd get the Smiths or Depeche Mode mixed in with your Spacehogs and Soundgardens.

KROQ in L.A. used to have a flashback lunch hour and it was absolutely amazing to go from Lit, Soundgarden and No Doubt to Morrissey, The Cure and other 80s oddities.

Pastry of the Year posted:Music chat reminds me of a very 90s phenomenon: getting exposed to new bands and genres from a cut-down video clip on Beavis and Butt-head that Viacom absolutely would never have aired in any other context. The list of music aired on that show is pretty eclectic. Oh gently caress yeah. I got exposed to some pretty good music on there that I never would have known about had I not watched B&B. Never heard of Fishbone, L7 or Das Efx for example...... I'd heard of GWAR, who were supposed to be "awesome" but never heard their music. Saw them on Jerry Springer show later.... And of course videos from bands I liked including, but not limited to Black Sabbath, Metallica, Beastie Boys and so on. "Hey butthead, Ozzy bit the head off a cow once". "Yeah, that was cool, milk poured out of its neck".

I got so many loving DVDs from them in the early '00s, they did the same 8 for 1 type deals, sometimes even better. I remember whole forums devoted to getting the best deals from their DVD clubs.

Hell yeah. I did that for the majority of my DVD collection and my Mom kept up with it until like 2015 or something. None of those clubs were bad deals, you just had to be buying in bulk to get your per-Tape/CD/DVD cost down. Too bad they were products of the music labels and the musicians got nothing from their "sales"

The best part of that was after they told him to stop having Beavis do that he'd say things that would lead to "fire" but then get distracted at the last moment. That or he'd say things that rhymed with fire the same way.

garfield hentai posted:I liked when Mike Judge was on I think Letterman and Letterman said "haha it's funny when Beavis says fire" and Judge just muttered annoyedly under his breath "yeah well not anymore he doesn't" Letterman was a huge fan of Bevis and Butt-head. He's one of their dads! Man Beavis and Butt-head Do America is a great movie. I was listening to the Talking Simpsons Patreon episode about it and every time Mr Anderson is talking, its just Hank Hill. I can't remember it it came out before or after the Sabotage video because its Intro is basically the same thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzBuWOZGcuc I completely forgot that there were two Beavis and Butt-head albums, one being the movie soundtrack, and then there was the Experience Album. Which had this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZbf-uwEBuo

Mike Judge said in the commentary for the movie that Mr. Anderson had a propane-powered camper in the first draft, but they changed it to butane so people wouldn't confuse him with a new character they were working on.

That's the exact reason why when anyone says that modern music sucks and there hasn't been any good music since the sixties or whatever, I think they're full of poo poo. There's always been plenty of poo poo music out there, it's just that we only remember the good stuff.

There's always been plenty of poo poo music out there, it's just that we only remember the good stuff. Take a look at the historic Billboard Hot 100. Most of the time it's filled with generic pop garbage and only occasionally does a good song that we still listen to today show up anywhere near the top ten.

But even in the 90s when i was a kid people would say "music sucks these days, no one writes their own music! It's all about money!"

Mainstream music has been catering to/driven by a younger and younger age demo, and there is also the movie problem where there really isn't much of a commercial path left for minor hits, so industry (such as it is) now mostly aims for the Star Wars of songs/bands. But in general yeah as 1000 Brown M and Ms said survivorship bias is a lot of what drives the "music sucks compared to the past" perception, there is a ton of great music these days just most of it isn't a hit in the billboard sense (though a chunk of the catchy stuff makes it to commercials and soundtracks etc.)

In case anyone was wondering what got to number one in the UK: Part one Part two Thoughts: *Chaka Demus and Pliers don't get enough credit for knocking Mr Blobby off number one (I hated Mr Blobby and all the child-shaped demons I went to school with thought that was funny, and now those same demons are probably on Facebook saying "Remember Mr Blobby? Who thought that was a good idea?") *Whigfield gives me terrible inexplicable nineties feelings. So do Baby D and Olive, but not as much as Whigfield. *Younger GoT fans might be amused to learn what Jerome Flynn was doing back in 1995. As far as I remember, Robson and Jerome's version of "Unchained Melody" is the reason Wonderwall didn't get to number one in the UK.

Back in about '93, I went on a school trip from the 'burbs to Phoenix for a academic decathlon competition at a private school near downtown. There was a mall across the street and when we had some free time at lunch, our teacher let us go across to the mall for lunch and wandering around. I remember an advertising campaign I don't think I'll ever forget. It had a bid window poster with Bennito Mussollini sitting in a outdoor chair in I guess what would be casual for a fascist dictator with the tag line underneath 'Mussolini wore Khakis'. There were other historical figures, I remember JFK being one of them, but could you imagine that today? I was reading something about failed retail chains last night and it finally triggered what the store was called. Oaktree. We didn't have one in our mall, I think it was kinda trying to be a upscale preppy type store. Don't think there'd be an ad agency today with the balls to try something like that again.

Looking forward to diving in the rest.
