«Flashback« Soundgarden – Spoonman / Black Hole Sun

tired friend, times are gone for honest men

♫ Soundgarden – Spoonman / 1994

As you may have heard, Soundgarden are reuniting. What is crazy about the whole thing is how little I have thought of (or listened to) them in the 12 (!?) years since they broke up. And I guess I never realized that they only had one album after their 1994 breakthrough Superunknown. Anyway, enough about the shit I didn’t know. What I do know is … continue reading

«Flashback« Cornershop – Brimful of Asha

everybody needs a bosom for a pillow

♫ Cornershop – Brimful of Asha / 1997

Last week’s post about White Town got me thinking of another British/Indian group that had a sweet sweet jam out at that time. I tracked down Cornershop’s “Brimful of Asha” and here it is, in all it’s chilled out glory. This has got to one of the best summery jams of all time and its high time this one got put back into regular rotation … continue reading

«Flashback« White Town – Your Woman

you don’t even know you’re being unkind

♫ White Town – Your Woman / 1997

Yowza, that is some brutal album art. I know the 90s weren’t exactly the height of graphic design but that hurts my eyes. At least my ears are happy because this jam was the business back then! A bit lo-fi/fuzzy, androgynous vocals, a sampled beat, and all recorded in the dude’s home studio! So how come White Town never blew up? Oh yeah, it was … continue reading

«Flashback« Nerf Herder – Sorry / I’ve Got A Boner For Christmas

what can i do, i am a loser

♫ Nerf Herder – Sorry / 1996

There are so many great jams on this album I have really been struggling to decide which tracks to include. “Sorry” is the obvious first choice, but considering this debut album from Nerf Herder was criminally underheard, I figured I would throw in another jam to whet your whistle for the band that can best be described as the challenged bastard child of early era … continue reading

«Flashback« Edwyn Collins – A Girl Like You

you give me just a taste so i want more and more

♫ Edwyn Collins – A Girl Like You / 1994

This is a total mid-90s classic that always seemed pretty timeless. The album art, however, hasn’t fared as well and definitely looks its age. I never had this album (or heard much of Edwyn’s stuff) but it’s kind of weird that before today I swear I had never even seen that album cover. Anyway, BORING…. Perhaps more interesting … continue reading

«Flashback« Sponge – Molly / Plowed

to see wide open with a head that’s broken

♫ Sponge – Molly (Sixteen Candles) / 1994

I always knew that one of my favorite songs from the 90s was “Molly (Sixteen Candles)” and that it was performed by Sponge. Hence the reason why I tracked this jam down to put up here. In the process of putting this post together I heard mention of their other hit off their ’94 debut Rotting Piñata, “Plowed.” Not remembering what that … continue reading

«Flashback« Soul Coughing – Rolling / Circles

i’m gonna get into the batter so the mix might glow

♫ Soul Coughing – Rolling / 1998

Soul Coughing grabbed attention in 1996 with “Super Bon Bon” but despite the song’s fresh approach, it is a bit grating and annoying. 1998 saw the band come back with El Oso, an collection of tracks that blended M. Doughty’s sing/rap/talk vocals with everything from drum n’ bass beats to typical indie guitar and percussion. El Oso is one of my … continue reading

«Flashback« Wyclef Jean – Gone Till November

i had to flip nuttin’ and turn it into somethin’

♫ Wyclef Jean – Gone Till November / 1997

Yeah, I know it’s a cheap move to feature this on in November but just deal with it. It’s pertinent. Wyclef’s solo debut, The Carnival, was my jam back in the day. I haven’t heard it in years and perusing the tracklist I can barely remember it. I stayed with ‘Clef through his follow-up, The Ecleftic, but lost him after … continue reading

«Flashback« Five Iron Frenzy – ’79 Blue Comb

something that was thrown out that window was the last great symbol of my youth

♫ Five Iron Frenzy – ’79 Blue Comb / 1998

This one might be kind of obscure for those of you not into the Christian Ska/Punk scene in the 90s, a category that would not normally include me but I got into this one off the Ska compilation, Cheap Ska. Five Iron Frenzy’s debut, Upbeats and Beatdowns, doesn’t have “’79 Blue Comb” on … continue reading

«Flashback« Remy Zero – Prophecy

you want this world so you can own it

♫ Remy Zero – Prophecy / 1998

Remy Zero was my jam back in the day. First this track ripped through the radio and then I got into the full album. I seem to remember their 2001 follow up, The Golden Hum, to be a disappointment but this album was solid. Or at least it was last time I listened… 10 years ago. Anyway, “Prophecy” still gets a few replays … continue reading
