Most 90s indie pop, along with much of the commercial music made in that decade, has aged pretty badly. I used to love this track when it came out and it brings back some funny memories of school days, holidays with mates and much stupid behaviour that I’m glad is well behind me. The song actually still sounds pretty good (or is that just me?), but it’s amazing how obviously 90s this is from virtually everything in the video.
A little while back I rediscovered Soundgarden’s wicked Superunknown album after it had been sitting in my shelves for around 15 years untouched. I’d completely forgotten how great it is, I don’t think there’s a crap tune on it and some of the lesser known ones definitely stand out the most for me.
I picked this one to post up because of the wicked moody intro but really I could have chosen just about anything from the 15 tracks on there. I highly recommend you go out and grab it, especially the double coloured vinyl edition. Yum
Ex-New Kid On The Block comes out with a pop smash in 1999. Who woulda thunk it? While I’ll be first to point out that pop music is mainly utter crap there are some real gems hidden away this, for me, definitely being one of them.
I guess I should really hate this tune but those funky semi-electro style beats and cheesy chorus always gets me singing along. Couldn’t find the video on YouTube apart from a version with terrible audio. Instead here are a load of pics of Mr Knight for you to swoon along to as you listen…
