Most of S.A.W.'s songs were fairly monstrous. Although, "Cruel Summer" will always garner a fair amount of genuine, entirely unironic critical respect. Deservedly so.

Meanwhile, I'm sort of working on Best Horror Themes mix-cd thing. I still don't play CD's anymore, but I really enjoy making up the track lists. Right now, I'm playing "Verso L'Ignoto (L'Aldila)" from Fulci's The Beyond.
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

TLC, specifically the videos for "Creep" and "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" back to back...

Biggest shot of nostalgia in the arm I've had in years.

TLC seems to be a recurring theme on this board.

I quite like their first two albums.

Jimmy Eat World - If You Don't, Don't

Back in the day, I didn't bother to listen to their 3rd album. I just hit the Amazon.com/CD-Now (ahh, the 90's) samples for FanMail, but I love "Good at Being Bad" and "Silly Ho." They're trashy and not in the original vein of their signature style but work well for the attitude we had (as teens) at the time. We were definitely becoming less sophisticated in 1999 and ready to let loose with some fatty, carefree garbage. Even "No Scrubs" at least had more flavor to it than stuff like Lit, Smash Mouth, Len, etc. They couldn't all be Moby's.

I'd like to think they were a cornerstone in everyone's nostalgia. But, usually, it's kids of the next decade looking back and discovering what we knew all along.

Yo, Lit was cool.  Don't be hating on Lit, that one album with the hit songs was alright.  It's like that one Alien Ant Farm album(again, the one with the hit songs).

TLC just makes me think of mid-90s VH1.  And that's not bad at all.

Man, VH1 played it so ridiculously safe in the 90's. They didn't play any rap, grunge, industrial, etc(.) until maybe 2003 or somewhere around there. When they launched their Celebreality thing and became the channel of The Surreal Life, Hogan Knows Best, Flavor of Love, The Fabulous Life of, etc.

Madness - Believe Me

I think the tenor sax might be the best instrument almost nobody uses in music.

Ghoul- "As Your Casket Closes"

Thrash with surf riffs. I dig.
