I like the "You will find being on the real world is a great starting place in any career" and then Puck hands her a cup of coffee. That's actually the next episode of Talking Simpsons Patreon Talking Mission Hill for next week.

So yeah they didn't make a ton of friends, but honestly what sounded like a super sad story of a one-hit wonder is actually really interesting. Go watch that video.

The one guy who was like the nexus of The New Radicals also worked with Hanson on their next album, if I remember correctly, he just used those names because they were known figures in 1999, fit the rhythm of the verse, and rhymed. He also wanted to see if the media would talk about the first half of the verse, with the political overtones, or the second half where he just calls out random celebrities; unsurprisingly, the media yakked about the second half incessantly and never brought up the first half. Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed, Too is a really good power pop album. Fairly obvious there was a lot of weed smoking going on, though, at least 75% of that album is songs about wanting to be, or getting, high as gently caress.

I wasn’t paying much attention to the radio back then, but for years I thought their hit song had Todd Rundgren singing.

Him and Hall and Oates were big influences on the songwriting, funny enough, so that’s not a surprise Like fifteen years later H&O covered “Someday We’ll Know” with Todd, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAgGyvBh9F4

I hated the New Radicals song. It just felt angsty in the worst teenage way. As if they were the first to think of poo poo that everyone else has. Dre creep to the mic like a phantom.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDWos0xx4gc I think its funny what they'd censor in videos back then. Like yea, they're gonna censor boobs, but the pot leaf on snoops hat. Yea some kid is gonna see that and go out and commit armed robbery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxAEXUyGM94 When people talk about NWA they mostly talk about Straight Outta Compton or Hundred Miles And Running, but the last album was really solid and is pretty much the blueprint for every Gangsta Rap album to come out in the decade. Man 3rd Base came out the same year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzXI_ApY4dY They're on such different wavelengths but there was no way they were going to survive in the harder, more raw rap and hip hop. Kinda funny how they mock Vanilla Ice in the video because I'm sure to G Funk fans they were basically the same.

Yea, all that early 90s west coast poo poo still slaps. Its got these smooth beats and the rhymes flow so well. As busta rhymes said "head nod poo poo to break yo neck". Doggystyle still rules too. I always though that 3rd Bass was pretty respected. I mean they're not House of Pain. No one likes Courtney Love in music. There's literally a whole genre of songs about Courtney Love Trash theory has a video about it https://youtu.be/KuBAWdz2aoU That reminds me about a girl i was dating in 1999, I was at her place and we were looking at her cds and I said "No Tori Amos?" and she said "What? Do you think i'm a lesbian?", which was the first time I had heard the connection between liking Tori Amos and being a lesbian. Was that a thing?

Not in any respectable circles, but there was definitely a retrograde perception that Amos and "Lilith Fair" stuff was "for lesbians" because they were overall very LGBTQ-friendly.

I’m just watching this and never was a conspiracy theorist about Courtney other than she maybe was either given or took some lyrics Kurdt had written but lol Starducker Trent said Courtney had hit on him and just splayed herself naked at lolapalooza and he did a 180 out of the room/tent And she was famous for saying Billy Corgan had a bigger dick than Cobain because? She’s a hot mess but I like seeing Tori and Dave Grohl being chill here. All I can say is this would make a great episode of Melrose Place. E: video goes on Trent and Courtney hooked up? poo poo I’m out of the loop on 90s gossip BaldDwarfOnPCP has a new favorite as of 06:35 on May 6, 2020 |

A lot of anti-Courtney stuff is clearly misogyny, but also she’s in Epstein’s black book, and there’s been murmurings of her helping provide his enterprise with young girls. Even if that’s pure fantasy everyone in that book is suspect as gently caress

Supposedly Courtney love tried to get El Duce (This guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldon_Hoke) to kill him. Don't know how true that poo poo is. Just what I've heard.

Hey, it brought me hours of entertainment on Seattle Public Access, with "Now See it Person to Person with Richard Lee." I've probably mentioned it before, but it broke some dude with a public access show's brain. Every week there was an hour slot where this dude would fill a lot of time with movie clips, or video of him harassing Dave Grohl. Followed by about 20 him giving his update on his personal conspiracy theory. One time he shared an answering machine message from Courtney Love telling him to knock it the gently caress off.

Because the switchover happened in the 90s, i'll ask in this thread, when did you switch from tapes to cds? I was buying tapes pretty late into the decade I remember, as up until at least 97 i only had a cassette player stereo. I had to check when my stereo was first released and it was 1997 so that's the earliest i had my own CD player. And I remember Xmas 2000 was when I bought a discman on boxing day. I feel pretty late to adopt Cds.

Yeah, that's pretty late. I switched over in ~1992 (REM's Out of Time was my first CD, also listened to a ton of Annie Lennox's Walking on Broken Glass single and Nirvana's Nevermind)

My family had been buying CDs for the home stereo in the early 90s, if not earlier, but tapes definitely were still being bought in the late 90s, if not the early 00s, because all the cars still had tape players. We didn’t get our first car with a CD player until 2002 or 2003 and it was really at that point that the tapes mostly disappeared. There was very much a period in the late 90s where our home stereo had CD, tape, and vinyl all set up (My dad has maintained his sizable record collection since the early 70s), and I very much recall making mixes on cassettes from CDs for stuff we wanted to listen to in the car. I think I still have the case from one of them in a box somewhere... fartknocker has a new favorite as of 05:10 on May 8, 2020 |

My family was still fairly fresh off the boat, money was tight, and CDs were freaking expensive. It did spare me from amassing some huge CD collection because Napster and my college's internet bandwidth were right around the corner. Now it's more than 20 years later and I'm... buying vinyl???

Amos tended to be coy about her preferences but certain things could be read into her songs and Difranco and The Indigo Girls were out and proud at a time that was a rarity, so all three tended to draw a lot of interest from people that identifies with them.
