«Flashback« The Offspring – Come Out And Play / Bad Habit

one guy’s wasted and the other’s a waste

♫ The Offspring – Come Out And Play / 1994

I’ll never forget the day I bought Smash. It was a the Warehouse Music that used to be on Westwood Blvd. in L.A. It was the first CD I ever bought and I’d like to pat…

«Flashback« Placebo – Pure Morning (plus The Bitter End and For What It’s Worth)

our thoughts compressed which makes us blessed and makes for stormy weather

♫ Placebo – Pure Morning / 1998

Ahhh yes, that voice. Some love it and some can’t stand it. I guess I’m somewhere in the middle as Brian Molko’s voice isn’t my favorite but I can hang when the music is right.…

«Flashback« Blur – Girls And Boys

always should be someone you really love

♫ Blur – Girls And Boys / 1994

It may be a day late but Blur’s 1994 classic “Girls And Boys” is the perfect Valentines jam. If anything, the last 16 years has only made love more “paranoid” and sexual identity lines more blurred, leaving…

«Flashback« Adam Sandler – Ode To My Car

eleven times a day i hear ‘hey, watch it asshole’

♫ Adam Sandler – Ode To My Car / 1996

The title of Sandler’s sophomore comedy album is more pertinent these days than it was in 1996. The once hilarious comedian made a bee-line off the funny-wagon shortly after this album’s release and it’s…

«Flashback« They Might Be Giants – Dr. Worm

i think i’m getting good, but i can handle criticism

♫ They Might Be Giants – Dr. Worm / 1998

It was They Might Be Giants recent appearance on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me that reminded me about this 1998 jam that tells the tale of a real worm who is a fake…

«Flashback« Eels – Novocaine For The Soul / In My Dreams + Little Bird

this paint by numbers life is fucking with my head

♫ Eels – Novocaine For The Soul / 1996

Oh E, you great bearded weirdo. Your ‘96 classic is still your best in my book but that hasn’t stopped you from cranking out music since then. 2 albums in the past year…

«Flashback« Skee-Lo – I Wish

i heard that prom night is the bomb night, with a hood-rat you can hold tight

♫ Skee-Lo – I Wish / 1995

I wish I could tell you that the only inspiration for this weeks flashback was nostalgia. Alas, thanks to Buddyhead, I now know that Skee-Lo is back with…

«Flashback« The Chemical Brothers – Hey Boy, Hey Girl

superstar djs here we go

♫ The Chemical Brothers – Hey Boy Hey Girl / 1999

This one snuck up on me at a bar last night and instantly brought be back. Damn, what a great song. And I had totally forgotten about the video. Humping skeletons was where…

«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…

«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,…

«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…

«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…

«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…

«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…

«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…
