«Flashback« NOFX – Whatever Didi Wants

nofx_heavy_petting_zoo

tell me what you need, i’ll try not to forget it

♫ NOFX – Whatever Didi Wants / 1996

This song will never cease to be epic. Although I discovered this jam on the same Punk-O-Rama 2 compilation that turned me on to Millencolin I just never got into NOFX at the time. Years later I got this album, and a few others, but NOFX just never lived up to my love for “Didi” (brilliant lyrics here). It is a … continue reading

«Flashback« Spin Doctors – Two Princes

Spin Doctors

‘aint got no future or a family tree but i know what a prince and lover ought to be

♫ Spin Docotors – Two Princes / 1991

As if it wasn’t enough that I was eating a delicious breakfast this morning, this jam came on the TV-radio and it was just sublime. Yes, sublime, that’s what I said now. Doing a little wikipeding (wikipediaing?) on the Spin Doctors I discovered that John Popper, of Blues Traveler fame, was in … continue reading

«Flashback« Cowboy Mouth – Jenny Says

Cowboy Mouth

there ain’t no looking for an answer when the question’s come and gone

♫ Cowboy Mouth – Love Of My Life / 1996

Cowboy Mouth never really blew and it’s too bad cause this is a great track. I was lucky enough to discover the New Orleans based quartet on a trip to the ’96 Olympics in Atlanta. (How’s that for a one-two punch of awesomeness?) Anyway, “Love Of My Life” jumped out from the radio pretty strongly and “Jenny … continue reading

«Flashback« Rancid – Ruby Soho/Time Bomb

rancid_-_and_out_come_the_wolves_-_front

all i got is this blank stare and that don’t carry no clout at all

♫ Rancid – Ruby Soho / 1995

Looking at that artwork, 14 years after the fact, it’s kinda funny to think ow how important this alum was to me. The truth is that it’s one of the first to pop in my head when I think of albums to be stranded on a desert island with. But then again, I am pragmatic as hell and … continue reading

«Flashback« Buckcherry – Lit Up / For The Movies

buckcherry

crack the door for the curious girl ’cause she’s waiting

♫ Buckcherry – Lit Up / 1999

Oh yeah! Those who know me won’t be surprised to know I loved me some Blackcherry back in the day. What we all may be surprised to know, is that they are still alive and releasing albums. And touring. With KISS. Crazy word. I remember their follow up to the 1999 self tited debt was a sonic disaster and they quickly fell off … continue reading

«Flashback« Third Eye Blind

3eb

i’ve never been so alone and i’ve never been so alive

♫ Third Eye Blind – Motorcycle Drive By / 1997

♫ Third Eye Blind – Graduate / 1997

It’s really kind of weird how divided people are over Third Eye Blind. I feel like it can be pretty easily traced back to their 1997 debut album which spawned so many radio singles that it was hard not to feel like the whole album was being jammed down your throat. … continue reading

«Flashback« Millencolin – Bullion

Millencolin-Life_On_A_Plate

if i only had the strength to make some muffins then i swear that i would share them with you now

♫ Millencolin – Bullion / 1996

Most of the bands here in Flashback corner were brought to my attention (and yours, I imagine) through their radio play. Millencolin, however, never got radio love and instead reached my ears through my other favorite music discovery medium of the 90s: Compilations. For anywhere from free to five dollars, I could get … continue reading

«Flashback« CAKE – The Distance

Fashion Nugget

bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse

♫ Cake – The Distance / 1996

One of the best lyrics ever. Hands down. And in one of the best songs of the 90s. Or ever, as far as I am concerned. “The Distance” is one of those songs that will never get old. I don’t listen to it enough these days, but I should. I should really listen to more CAKE in general. Fashion Nugget is such a fantastic and solid album, … continue reading

«Flashback« Goldfinger – Here In Your Bedroom

Goldfinger

when I wake up tomorrow will you still feel the same?

♫ Goldfinger – Here In Your Bedroom / 1996

I’ve never really sat down to make my own “Desert Island Discs” list but if I did (and I wont) Goldfinger’s debut would be a strong contender. My youthful love of Ska music may possibly be traced back to the bass-line from “Here In Your Bedroom.” That thing hit me like a rock when I first heard it and it’s … continue reading

«Flashback« Arrested Development – Mr. Wendel

3years etc

he gives me some knowledge, i buy him some shoes

♫ Arrested Development – Mr. Wendal / 1992

“Tennessee” may be the more famous/respected song but “Mr. Wendel” holds a more special place in my heart. I was definitely pretty fresh as a youngster, able to sing every word with my sweet-ass white boy rhythm. You will be pleased to know I still haven’t lost it. In 2004 some magazine called “Q” named “Mr. Wendal” the 9th worst rap song … continue reading
