0:29
fight Tina Turner and the Granny Glass too, Whitney. Hi'm Ali, I'm
0:45
Andy, I'm Jeff, and I'm Maria. And this is notable in nostalgia.
0:52
What's up nostalgian nerds? Today? We are taking any trip back thirty
0:57
years to review the year and music from nineteen ninety three. And I got
1:02
Andy Andria here with me a question. I'm curious to know for y'all,
1:07
anything stand out for you this year when you were researching and making your selections.
1:12
For me, this was the hardest year so far. There was I
1:15
wasn't in love with that many options overall for any category, which is crazy.
1:22
Yeah. I was just gonna say like for me, I didn't like
1:26
I was just like, m I don't really want to choose anything, Like
1:30
there's nothing that I'm like, yeah, I really like this. Just everything
1:34
was just like like five ninety six is when I start to like really get
1:41
involved in music. But like from here until then, I just like,
1:45
sure, Yeah, well I kind of think too, since I really liked
1:48
the grunge era and like, I really like Nirvana, and like I liked
1:51
the change from all that hair metal stuff that ninety three I think is when
1:55
it starts becoming that hair metal stuff again, because Nirvana was doing so well
2:00
Pearl Jam and then I think a lot then the studios were just like,
2:04
hey, pump that music out, anything that sounds similar, and let's just
2:07
you know. So I feel like it started kind of getting washed down a
2:09
little bit. And then so I feel like in a few years is when
2:13
like another resurgence of rock kind of comes. So I don't know. M
2:17
Yeah, I'll agree that this wasn't the most exciting year so far we've done.
2:22
I'm not necessarily mad at my choices or anything, but yeah, I
2:27
don't think it was as hard for me to pick in previous years. Yep,
2:31
I'm with you. But ever since listening to our last episode, I
2:36
just want to say, I can stop thinking about a double decker, So
2:40
thank you for bringing that up last episode. That's all I can think about.
2:43
I miss it so much. I'm just driving insane. There's not even
2:46
like an easy way of like making one on your own, Like, uh
2:53
yeah, it's a bit frustrating. Well let's I'm gonna go over some Grammy
2:58
stuff and billboards and then well, three of us will do our choices,
3:00
um and what Jeff not here? I'm gonna read Jeff's choices for him.
3:06
But let's go Grammys. So this is a super strange year for Grammys because
3:12
so many of the nominees and winners are songs from late nineteen ninety two.
3:15
Yeah, and I thought, okay, well, am I just off a
3:19
year and I went forward and the next year's Grammys they're all from ninety four,
3:23
and so it's almost like ninety three doesn't exist in the Grammy world.
3:31
All of the videos and stuff. I'm like, I felt like we talked
3:34
about this last year and stuff. So yeah, that's that's funny that you
3:37
found it up. Yeah. Well, Record of the Year and Best Pop
3:42
Vocal Female is for I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston, which comes
3:46
out in late ninety two with the release of the Bodyguard soundtrack. Album of
3:52
the Year is the Bodyguard Soundtrack. So it's it had such a dominant hold
3:59
on a long period of Time of music from from two for over a two
4:02
year span. I've never seen that movie. I haven't either, Andy of
4:05
you. Maybe we should review it. Yeah, yeah, I'm not the
4:11
biggest Kevin Costner fan, but same. I don't know if I dislike him,
4:15
if I really like if I like him, or if I just really
4:17
like I don't know, like ambivalent for sure. Um. Best New Artist
4:21
is awarded to Tony Braxton. UM Best Pop Vocal Mail is Staying for If
4:29
I ever lose my faith in you. Yeah, I'm not a fan of
4:31
sting either. Really. Yeah, okay, Andy, you never seems to
4:36
amaze me. Best Alternative Album goes to YouTube for Zeropa, Buddy Guy and
4:46
bb Keen Bowl take home honors for Blues. Best Country Female or goes to
4:53
Mary Chapin Carpenter's song Passionate Kisses, which I actually learned was written by Lucen
4:58
to Williams, That's kind of cool and that also wins Country Song of the
5:02
Year. Best Country Male goes to Dwight Yoakum for I Ain't That Lonely Yet.
5:10
Best Country Duo and Group goes to Brooks and Dunn for hard Working Man.
5:14
Chieftains take home Best Folk once for Rhea. Well, what you should
5:19
be telling me is who won best Polka? Yeah, I didn't actually write
5:24
down best Polka. Best Latin Album is for Louis Miguel for Aries, and
5:30
Best Latin Tropical Album went to Gloria Estevan for Mitiara. Best Music Video goes
5:35
to Peter Gabriel for Steam, which I watched and it was kind of strange
5:44
but also just really bad like visual animation, so kind of like that really
5:49
early crappy Pixari digital animation. It was. It was pretty bad comparatively to
5:57
today's standards, but I'm sure bluesome minds. Back in ninety three, R
6:01
and B Female goes to Tony Braxton for another sad love song. R and
6:04
B Mail goes to Ray Charles for a song for You, and then R
6:10
and B Group went to Sade for no Ordinary Love. Yeah. I thought
6:15
Shade was a single artist, but I guess I don't know why she why
6:19
they count as a group, mm because she's so great that yes, yeah,
6:25
yeah exactly. Rap Solo goes to Doctor Dre for let Me Ride.
6:29
REP Group goes to Diggable Planets for Rebirth of slick or aka cool Like debt
6:35
um rock Vocal Mail goes to meat Loaf or I'd Do Anything for Love.
6:42
Rock group goes to Aerosmith for Living on the Edge. Hard rock went to
6:46
Stone Temple Pilots for Plush, and then metal went to Ozzy Osbourne for I
6:50
Don't Want to Change the World all right? And the best polka album was
6:55
accordion Ly Yours by Walter Austinet. That's a great name, but how many
7:00
bands they're enough polka band for them? If we so, why don't we
7:05
in a po Why don't we start a poke polka band? There's a good
7:09
chance a week could be on there. They're no longer is a polka category
7:14
of course two thousand, two thousand and eight. Yeah, yeah, we
7:17
looked it up. We were like, it's wild that, like in the
7:19
nineties polka had its own category, and I wanted to know when it died.
7:24
Do they have a zydico category? I hate fu hate us, but
7:30
it's like the good thing about ida goes you always know what kind of music
7:32
it is when you hear it, like what does that even mean? You're
7:38
not confused, like, well, what is this is this rap? Oh?
7:40
No, no, this is zydeco? If I really think about it.
7:43
It doesn't mean it's good, right, yeah, exactly right. Yeah,
7:45
I'm like, I know Tyler Perry movie when I see it. Yeah,
7:48
it doesn't mean I like it. That's funny, okay. Billboard.
7:55
Um, So the first nine weeks of the Billboard in nineteen ninety three was
7:59
for I'll Always Love You So late it lends its late ninety two run an
8:03
early ninety three run with fourteen total weeks. It is upended for one week
8:07
by a Whole New World from the Latin soundtrack. Interesting. Yeah, it
8:13
is interesting because it's ninety two movie as well. So yeah, yeah yeah,
8:22
um and then um also one week for the very last week of ninety
8:28
three was Maria Carey for Hero um some other chart toppers. So for eight
8:33
weeks That's the Way Love Goes by Janet Jackson and dream Lover by Maria Carey,
8:39
seven weeks um Informer by Snow and KELP Can't Help Falling in Love by
8:43
ub forty for two weeks, Freak Me by Silk, week by s wv
8:50
in, Janet Jackson for Again, and then five weeks went to I'd Do
8:56
Anything for Love by meat Loaf, What Love was Killing It yeah, number
9:00
one song in the country for five weeks. I would I'd do anything for
9:03
split my wrists. A weird episode of A Boy Meats World where mister Feenie
9:09
and Corey switch places. Uh it's like season one. Well anyways, mister
9:13
Feenie comes to school the next day wearing a meat loaf like Gangster Jersey and
9:18
I have that says meat loaf, but it's sideways. I had the weirdest.
9:24
It was right around this time, so it was popular, but it's
9:26
just so weird. Yeah. I remember seeing in theater as the movie Black
9:31
Dog, which oh yeah, I saw the truck driver he's he's just had
9:35
a wild run. And then in the nineties for sure, Yeah weird.
9:39
Yeah, you know, if I remember I was a kid, I think
9:41
I was in sixth grade maybe fifth grade when that came out, But I
9:43
don't remember disliking it. I remember that, I don't really remember it.
9:48
If you would have told me before I did research for this year, like
9:50
when that song came out, I would have guessed like, yeah, yeah,
9:56
speaking of this, did we ever figure out how that Roy Orbism song
10:00
one best song? I figure that out. We're like when the song came
10:05
out sixty two. We're like, that was for what nineteen ninety Yeah?
10:09
I think so yeah, yeah, that is so wild? All right?
10:16
Yeah, so yeah, it's a strange year in music in general based on
10:18
what we're seeing on the chart toppers. And then also the Grammy is just
10:22
kind of ignoring nineteen ninety three, so I mean, I don't blame them,
10:28
I really don't. Yeah, Okay, we always kind of start with
10:33
best New Artists? Should we just go with that? Yeah? That sounds
10:35
good. It's actually kind of a cool year for best New Artists. But
10:37
I'm curious to know y'all's choices. Alrighty, so my best New Arts and
10:43
this one was the hardest one for me to actually to pick someone because I
10:46
wasn't really impressed with too many people. But I did pick Modest Mouse for
10:52
this year. Interesting. Yeah. In two thousand and four, that CD
11:18
Good News for people who love bad News. I love that whole CD.
11:22
There's not one song I skip on that whole CD. I had a two
11:24
twelve MTX Terminator subs in my car like crazy bass because I was in high
11:28
school. And that CD bumps crazy hard, like your nose would tingle boom.
11:35
But that's where I kind of learned about Bookowski and they have a song
11:37
on there about Bookowski. It's great and so right, it's such a good
11:41
song. And it was just kind of different for me because you know,
11:45
they had songs where there's like trumpets in it and everything, and it was
11:48
kind of I don't know the kind of style. I don't know. It
11:50
wasn't really alternative rock, but I don't know it was. It was really
11:52
good. Um. And then I've only listened to a few songs after that
11:58
CD, but I've liked about everything I've heard from Modest Mouse and I Top
12:03
five CDs I listened to more than any any other CD. There's a good
12:07
chance good News for people who love bad News is on there, so okay,
12:11
yeah, yeah. And the only thing I really know about them,
12:13
I mean, I'm a fan, but the only thing I really know about
12:16
them as they formed in Issaquah, Washington. That's true. Yeah, that's
12:20
right. They worked for six months. That's funny. Um, that's a
12:26
cool choice. I didn't even realize that they were they started that early same.
12:30
I thought they were a little bit later. I remember, like they're
12:33
kind of they had some punky songs before this one, before that CD,
12:37
so that's why I kind of found them. I was like, oh,
12:39
what is like this is a whole different style, but I like it.
12:41
Yeah yeah, I know that, Like I don't really know anything but good
12:46
news for people who like bad news. Right. But but like, um,
12:52
I remember got it getting made fun of a lot because I liked that
12:54
album because everybody's like, oh, well that's not real modest mouse right is
13:00
like the stuff or yeah yeah, but I mean ever since then, that's
13:05
kind of been their their sound, so it's like, how do you judge
13:09
them now, right based on that? Okay? Well, yeah, I
13:13
got that with a lot of it, like a if people are like a
13:16
if I They're like, oh a if, I's not punk anymore. I
13:18
just let people listen to fucking music, right, you know. But yeah,
13:22
all right, Oria, who'd you go with? I went with Ace
13:26
of Bass, all right. I thought they would have started way earlier than
13:54
ninety three, I know. Yeah, so they debuted in ninety two in
13:58
the UK, but their debut album in the US wasn't released until ninety three,
14:05
So I figure I'm okay on that end because we wouldn't have heard them.
14:11
I mean, most people wouldn't have heard them, yeah, over here
14:15
until ninety three. So you say they debut in the UK. Is it
14:16
just the UK charts are considered like the European charts. They didn't debut,
14:20
They didn't even debut in the charts in the UK. It's just their album
14:24
Happy Nation debuted in in ninety two, and then over here when it was
14:30
released it was called The Sign. Hm, that's interesting, is there Danish
14:35
right, m Yeah, okay, I know that, yep. Okay,
14:41
So they're known for the Sign. Is there any other songs on the album?
14:43
You're like, oh, yeah, Don't turn Around and All That She
14:46
Wants? Oh, I know all three of those songs. Yeah, those
14:50
are bangers back then, for sure. They're fucking amazing. Yeah yeah,
14:54
yeah, yeah, that's a pretty impressive debut. Actually, the rest of
14:58
the album is not great, but those three songs are worth it. Christine,
15:03
Okay, I can't think of the nineties without thinking of Base at Bass,
15:07
So that's great, big yeah, yeah for sure, right, Like
15:11
the Sign is like on so many nineties movie soundtracks and that's not even like
15:15
my favorite song. All That She Wants is definitely my favorite song of theirs.
15:18
Okay, I was in school. I remember kids would say, uh,
15:22
this is so dumb and juvenile. I saw your mom hold on,
15:30
she opened up her thighs, I closed my eyes. Something about being all
15:33
big, hairy and scary. I can't remember, but weird go around my
15:39
school. Yeah, and then yeah, the Barney ones. What do you
15:45
never did the Barney like, uh, I love you, you love or
15:48
I hate you? You hate me? Were were you hate family? We're
15:50
just you know. The kids would sing and make fun of like like things
15:54
all the time. Yeah, I guess so I remember Barney a little bit,
15:58
but I never heard the sign the flushing down the potty. Yeah,
16:04
I can't remember. There's a bunch of them back in the back, no
16:08
joke. Two of so, when I was in first grade in Salem,
16:11
we would sing. All the kids would sing on the way to school,
16:15
but songs like that, which sounds crazy now. And then when I was
16:18
in fourth grade in Virginia, like every like it seemed like everybody was on
16:22
drum line there, so like all the kids would be doing drums together on
16:26
the bus. So I was very musical upbringing. It was like, it's
16:29
kind of weird sound of music. It was fun, though, yeah,
16:34
I don't know how we segue from that, but all right, well I'll
16:40
go my pick, which was a tool for undertow weird. I don't know,
17:07
huh. Yeah. So that's their debut album, which is a pretty
17:10
impressive album. I think um most popular song was Sober, which is a
17:18
great song. Personally, I liked prison Sex and then Floods also a really
17:23
great song on there there. I don't know, they kind of stand out.
17:27
It's they're so different from everything that happened this year. So different.
17:32
Yeah, even even like sort of the metal standards and also hard rock standards.
17:36
This is this is a unique album. I was just watching this video
17:41
that this guy does some funny videos about like what it's like watching music videos.
17:45
I listened to songs like this for the first time and he's had like,
17:48
uh, Maynard is like a demon if he was known for singing um.
17:55
But yeah, it's just um there. At that time, this album
17:59
was so dynamic and new. Um. I will say that I think Tool
18:04
does get repetitive if you listen to oh, like their entire discography, like
18:10
it really feels like they structurally have the same like a breakdown of every single
18:15
song, like you know, there's always a bass solo kind of right in
18:19
the right after the big solo, then they go right to just bass guitar,
18:25
and then like a minute and a half build up. Yeah. Yeah,
18:30
So it's like, structurally it all sounds kind of the same. It
18:33
gets kind of it gets a little redundant, but it is impressive, and
18:37
I think for a debut album, like wow, pretty pretty amazing. Yeah,
18:41
there's some like Tool songs when everything starts hitting, when like after the
18:45
big build up and everybodything's driving, I'm like, that's fucking pretty dope.
18:48
But I'm not a huge fan of Tool, but there's some songs that I
18:52
like, like I've really enjoy so yeah yeah, um, and then Jeff's
18:56
not here, but Jeff lest left us a list, and so jeff choice
19:00
for best New Artist was DMX. Sometimes the night my pants go to the
19:06
back of myself, even when I was a little nothing within my wing,
19:10
I got beat up and despite the back I didn't I do really like.
19:23
The reason I love DMX so much is because there's always kind of more in
19:26
my head. At least, I feel like the beats are a little more
19:30
simples, and he wasn't doing any crazy rhyme schemes, but he was saying
19:34
he was getting to the point, and you were. You memorized his lyrics
19:37
and they were all so fucking sick. Like I love DMX growing up.
19:42
Yeah, I feel like a lot of him and his popularity was very quick
19:48
and gone, like he just had that run in the two thousands, I
19:51
feel like. And then I don't really know early stuff at all to either
19:55
view. Yeah, my buddy Terrell, uh like the Flesh of My Flesh
20:00
and it's I think his best CD is the one in nineteen eighty eight.
20:03
It's dark and hell is hot. There's some great songs on that one.
20:07
Um of course, rough Riders anthem. But what's that one? Uh?
20:11
I can feel it, stute. There's a lot I wanna look, that's
20:15
that whole CD is great. There's one where he's talking about Damien. Maybe
20:21
that's the name of the song. That song is really anyways, there's a
20:22
bunch I really like. He's all right, that's cool. Um, well,
20:29
yeah, I don't think i've ever I can tell you the whatever the
20:32
one one he is known, thanks gonna give it to you. Yeah,
20:37
Yeah, that's that's all tell you. Yeah, X is sick like that
20:44
stand up with Kat Williams. He goes d you mix talks like that in
20:47
public public, it's in public, you can't talk. Yeah. Um well.
20:53
Some other notables this year included Radiohead, The Cranberries, The Roots,
21:00
Collective Soul. Oh I didn't know Collective Soul. I like Collective Soul one
21:07
of the best live performances I've ever seen, No joke, the lead singer
21:11
reminded me. I remember seeing him live. I was like, this is
21:14
like if Michael Jackson. Like the way he could control the crowd. He
21:17
was a really good live all. I probably would have kept Modest Mouse,
21:22
but that would have been a way more difficult. Sorry, guy, that's
21:25
dope. That's You're fine. Debut album from Shaquille O'Neal this year. R
21:33
Kelly Jamira Qui, yes, I went through a phase in high school Jamir
21:37
quir Oh, Yeah, that's great. Shaggy this year. Yeah. And
21:44
then also Cheryl Crow, Oh, I do like lot and especially that first
21:48
album pretty popular, like it's all I want to Do is on that album,
21:53
So I hate that song. I'm not a preparedness Cheryl Crow. I
21:56
just yea, that's if it makes you happy. That song yeah, okay,
22:02
that's funny. Uh okay, Well let's go to this music video chure.
22:11
All right, this is the one that gave me the most trouble.
22:12
So I was gonna choose, I will say, not a very imaginative year
22:18
for music videos. Yeah right, there's nothing, nothing too crazy. I
22:22
wasn't gonna choose heart Shaped Box just because, again, beautiful visuals, but
22:25
I've already done latter Nirvana. But just like I said, with that video
22:30
from RM to where you could pause on any shot and it could be a
22:33
poster, that's how heart Shaped Boxes. I think it's really cool. And
22:36
there's one scene where it's about eight seconds, no no, maybe about fifteen
22:38
seconds of Dave and christ in the back kind of blurry and it's just Kurt
22:44
looking and singing to the camera and that's so fucking cool. But anyways,
22:48
I wanted to go something a little bit, you know where I don't think
22:49
a lot of people have seen this video. Um, there's a song called
22:53
three Little Pigs by Green Jelly. Okay, no, it's a metal song,
23:02
and I kind of think of them as they would do live performances.
23:06
They were just puppets on stage, so it was like early Gorillas. The
23:10
record company would pay them not to play live because it was so weird and
23:12
outlandish. But the original band name was Green Jello, but the company who
23:18
owns Jello Sudom said, it's switching to Green Jelly. But it's a kind
23:21
of a it's a new remake on that three Little Pig story. So it's
23:25
like little Pig, little big lattle, big little bang lack medio, Little
23:45
Pig, little pig. Let me in not buy the hair, but Jenny
23:49
Ginchin and the whole video is cool because it's claymation, stop motion the whole
23:56
thing. Uh yeah. It released May twenty, worth, nineteen ninety three.
24:00
It peaked at number seventeen on the Rock charts. Wild This is crazy
24:04
too. This is the first song that debuted only on video, so you
24:08
couldn't buy this on CD or cassette or anything. You could only buy the
24:11
vhs with the video on it. Huh. And it was nominated by nominated
24:18
on MTV for Breakthrough Video. The song isn't anything that's gonna blow your mind,
24:22
but it's just really catchy. The video's awesome. It's like I said,
24:26
it's all stop motion claymation, and the first little pig like is a
24:30
farmer. He's straw. The second little pig always hangs out in la and
24:33
he's like a pothead, so he builds his out of like just garbage.
24:37
And then the third one is a architect architect, so then he builds one
24:41
that he can't blow down. But you think that's where the song is gonna
24:45
end, right, No, they call Rambo, and then Rambo comes and
24:48
shoots the fucking wolf and they in the song it's like and then there comes
24:53
Rambo and he's like, oh you wolf, what you doing messing with thus
24:57
pigs? And then the hand of the video goes. The moral of this
25:03
song is to show that a band with no talent can keep people interested or
25:08
keep idiots interested with a funny five minute video or something like that. Wow,
25:12
you should check it. It's a fun video. I mean yeah,
25:15
it's like it's it's a really catchy song too, So that's that's wild.
25:18
Yeah. Yeah, I've three little but I just assumed it was like fake
25:26
or made for TV or likes. I mean it technically kind of is right
25:29
like the yeah, kind of like Devo I guess back in the day.
25:33
That's weird. Wow, I wonder if I wonder if there's a Bevis and
25:36
butt head where they do that. There has to be I'm like, I
25:40
guess. I mean, there's no way I would guess they wouldn't. There
25:41
wouldn't been wild. Yeah. Uh that's a that's a great pick. Is
25:49
that a left field? I love it. I'm going to I'm afraid to
25:53
watch that video because if the song is catchy, then it will be stuck
25:56
in my head. Yeah, it's an earworm for ye. All right.
26:00
So I went with uh sober by Tool just because it's a really scary music
26:38
video. Yeah, I don't want it andy, Yeah, And it's just
26:45
I just it's it's interesting the way they shot it, like it felt kind
26:51
of stop motioning. Um yeah, And I just I just liked it.
26:56
I think it's an interesting video. Like I said, I didn't do a
27:00
whole lot of research into music videos, and I didn't really grow up watching
27:06
music videos. Yeah, so yeah, yeah this, Yeah, this one's
27:08
cool. Like the main character is very creepy looking. But what I liked
27:18
about it was like the way they timed everything happening in the video goes really
27:22
well with the song as well. So it looks you know, like there's
27:26
a ton of thought going into making this look good too. Yeah. Yeah,
27:32
Now, I grew up watching music videos MTV. That's why I got
27:34
into like wee are so young. I remember being when the weez are like
27:37
third grade Manson, But this is one of the videos I remember watching a
27:41
bunch of Scared. The show. Okay, there was this TV show.
27:42
I think I might have brought it up before talking about Marilla mans I don't
27:45
know, but there's a TV show where they would have kids watch a music
27:49
video and then the adults watching music video, and the adults would be like,
27:52
I don't think it's accepted for kids. They were talking about Scared,
27:56
but this is one of the videos they were like, that's really scary that
27:59
kids shouldn't watch that. Remember watching it like at eleven o'clock at night,
28:00
like it is really scary. What am I doing? Yeah? Yeah,
28:07
um, right on? Uh well, Jeff and I had the same pick
28:11
for music video, which was Aerosmith's Crying. It is a good video her
28:40
eyes. Uh so you know, um, it's cool because it tells a
28:48
little story. It's it's stars Alicia Silverstone, who who looks really fine in
28:52
this. By the way, and um. Basically she like breaks up with
28:56
her boyfriend and she's like on this mission for independent said um. And then
29:02
at the end you think she's actually going to commit suicide, but her boyfriend
29:07
comes to saber she's about to jump off this bridge into traffic, but she's
29:10
actually bungee jumping. Uh. Say, it's got a little twist. And
29:17
I think my favorite part of the video is before the right before Steven Tyler
29:21
starts singing, Uh, he just spits like he's fox is huge loogie and
29:25
then starts singing It's weird. It's a weird choice. Yeah, so I
29:30
do really like Aerosmith though, you really like Aerosmiths what you said? I
29:33
do? Yeah, Realosmith. They're from Boston, like they grew up in
29:38
like the I know, of course they're rockers from the seventies and all about
29:42
the shitty things they did. But you know, now that we've had this
29:45
podcast, almost everything we talk about we can find something shitty in it.
29:51
So now I'm just able to enjoy stuff without going like, well, I
29:55
don't know, like this this podcast has really helped me just kind of being
29:59
able to enjoy things. So, yeah, because I was thinking about that
30:00
like we talk about things, and like everything we end up talking about,
30:03
I'm like, oh I love this, Oh but this person, you know
30:07
what I mean. So I don't know, it's just changing. But no,
30:10
I love Aerosmith. I think the First City is great. That song
30:12
Tikida, that's when Joe Perry left the band, and I think it was
30:15
only Brad Whitford and Steven Tyler left because all the drugs and they're kind of
30:19
off time a little bit. I just love the whole drug rock and roll
30:22
thing, so yeah, huh. I will say their bass player is amazing.
30:29
His name is Brad Whitford, just like the guy the Bad Guy from
30:32
I always think about that. Yeahs and the bass player didn't like these slow
30:38
songs because he's like, this isn't Aerosmiths. What are we doing? And
30:41
then after a show one time, this big biker dude was like, hey
30:45
man, just my wife really loves that song. We danced that or something.
30:49
Then he goes, oh, so we can make it doesn't matter.
30:52
Anybody can enjoy ourself. So I was like, oh, that's really cool.
30:53
So yeah, yeah that's I don't know if it's true or not,
30:56
but this video, it was kind of between this one or Living on the
31:00
Edge, because Living on the Edge is just bizarre. Um, it's like
31:06
the first the first sequence of it is Steven Tyler who's naked and he has
31:11
his body pain and half his body it looks like he unzipped himself. It's
31:15
it's really weird. And then like this dude pops out of his chest and
31:21
then like these kids are It's basically like these kids are aren't afraid to die.
31:26
And so at this one point, these these two teenagers are driving this
31:30
car full speed into the back of this ambulance that's parked and they walk away
31:34
like they do it, like they crash into it everything and they walk away
31:37
without a scratch. It's so bizarre. And then for no reason, at
31:41
the end of it, it's just some guy who puts on pantyhose and high
31:42
heels. I don't know why, Like it has nothing. Living on the
31:47
Edge, Yeah, Living on the Edge apparently that's the one where Joe Perry's
31:49
like just soloing on a train track. Yeah, this is strange, but
31:56
crying, you know, it's a classic and uh yeah, it's a fun
32:01
video. So that's right around the time too. Aerosmith had that video game
32:07
that came out where it was a first person shooter video game. Oh my
32:10
gosh, I completely forgot about it until just now. I didn't even know
32:13
that. You know, when you go to the arcade and you see that
32:15
game area fifty one, it was really similar to that. But then you
32:20
could like power Yeah, I think so, but you can also buy it
32:24
at home. But yeah, there's an Aerosmith video game. I forgot about
32:28
that, and then I think I could be wrong, but I think every
32:30
now and then, if you got like a combo Steven Tyler go but like,
32:32
yeah, I'm you know, crazy or whatever. You do. Remember
32:37
he went through a phase where he had only spoken rhyme. That was my
32:39
favorite era of just fucking Stephen Tyler. He would like talking rhyme like all
32:45
the time, Like I don't know if he meant to do it, but
32:46
he kept going through it. See how I did that? That was like
32:50
him. But all the fucking time it was crazy interviews or something interviews,
32:53
yeah, anything, Yeah, it was really weird for a while. That
32:58
is weird. Arismith's like is such a strange like existence. So like you
33:05
know, they get famous in the seventies, like almost all their hits are
33:07
in the nineties. Yeah. Um, yeah, they were huge in the
33:13
nineties too, like they were in like Wayne's World, and yeah, I
33:15
think Crime might be their first number one hit. Oh no, the very
33:17
first number one hit was Armageddon, that song. I don't want to miss
33:21
a thing. Yeah, I think their first and only, right, I
33:25
think so it could be. Yeah, like the drummer, horrible drummer Joey
33:30
Kramer, I think his name is. It's like so simple drumming. It's
33:32
just crazy how the bands, But yeah, I like them, yeah,
33:37
like simple rock though. All right, well, yeah, you know,
33:42
other than these ones that we've mentioned that, I watched quite a few music
33:45
videos, just as I usually do, and that just nothing is like exciting
33:49
at all. Same, yeah, and like a lot in the past,
33:54
it was like a lot it was just either like live footage you know that
34:00
they used um and then or yeah, just nothing that cool or fun.
34:06
So, all right, soundtrack, I have a hunch we might all have
34:12
the same thing. But Andy will let you and he's like, actually,
34:16
so for this soundtrack, you can only there's only seven copies left at Target
34:21
right now for nine dollars or six to nine cents, So If you want
34:23
one, you better go buy one quick. This is on my list or
34:28
worst movies of the nineties, But I chose the soundtrack for Days and Confused.
34:31
It was the first day of a summer vacation. Do you guys know
34:35
anything about a party here tonight? Shots? It was a time they will
34:44
never forget. There's a new fist in the making as we speak. I
34:46
thought it was do you really want to graduate? We were like three years
34:52
old. Give only they could remember it. Okay, so you're not gonna
35:00
go to law school? What do you want to do? Then? I
35:04
want to dance? Interesting? Okay? Yeah. Released September twenty fourth,
35:08
nineteen ninety three. Just some of the songs that I love on their rock
35:10
and roll hoo Chiku by Rick Derringer. They have Paranoid by Sabbath, Jim
35:15
Dandy by Black Oak Arkansas, and that Jim Dandy song is weird as hell
35:21
Jim Dandy, you know, I know it's weird. Uh School's Out by
35:23
Alice Cooper. Uh. They have even though he's a piece of shit.
35:27
But they have strangle Hold, which I think is one of the best riffs
35:29
in rock and roll history by the Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent, Lowrider
35:34
War. This is I mean, there's a lot more songs, but if
35:37
you like seventies rock, that's a great soundtrack. Almost everyone in the songs
35:40
as a banger. I think that's that's that's fair. That's a that's honestly
35:45
like a solid soundtrack overall. And yeah, you know, if you want
35:51
to like take yourself back to that era, that's a that's a good way
35:52
to go. And then you mentioned Stranglehold. Tool actually does a really cool
35:57
cover of strang Oh weird. I'll check it out. Yeah, that's oh
36:00
cool. Yeah, I really want to but yeah, check it out.
36:02
Um, okay, that's that's a cool choice. I can dig it.
36:07
Yeah, but again not I don't like the movie, but I remember some
36:09
of the same. But you don't really weird. They don't have mister nice
36:12
guy on that Why did they have school? Oh? I guess no,
36:15
that makes sense. School. That makes sense because this isn't the last day
36:19
of school for that movie or is it the first day of school? I
36:22
can't remember how that movie goes. There's something with the school. I think
36:27
it's, yeah, the last day of school. If I had a guess,
36:30
because it's like summer vibes and stuff. But then why are all the
36:34
little freshmen scared? Then? Oh maybe on the last day they get whipped.
36:37
I don't know whatever, and I don't like the movie, but great,
36:38
I really I haven't seen that. I've never I think the only movie
36:43
that's similar to that that I liked from the nineties is Detroit Rock City Detroit
36:46
ROCs again this moment, for sure, I really like that one. Um.
36:51
Okay, well, Riah, I think you and I have the same
36:52
one. So let's let's go into it, all right. I mean,
36:57
I know again that we're gonna get Nita first soundtrack versus score. But um,
37:04
I'm gonna go with Jurassic Park. Oh sure, there it is.
37:15
Welcome to Jurassic Pargain. We've made living biological attractions so astounding that they're captured
37:22
the imagination of the entire planet, the most phenomenal discovery of our time.
37:29
How to do that becomes the greatest adventure of all time? Sure you know
37:38
our Soul Pictures presents. Surely hold on your books a Steven Spielberg film.
37:49
Since it's a failing all over the park, that's nice an adventure. I
37:57
can't get Jurassic Park back online exty five million years in the making Jurassic Park.
38:07
Yeah, yeah, I mean looking through all the soundtracks, nothing really
38:09
stood out, and of course, like this is arguably the best score in
38:15
all of cinema. Yeah, I mean it's I mean, yeah, I
38:19
mean I think if you said it was, I don't think that. I
38:21
mean, you wouldn't be wrong, you know what I mean, Like,
38:23
yeah, you would be wrong. It's Gladiator. We're gonna watch that movie.
38:29
It's just so epic, and it's so for how epic it is and
38:34
how like how important one the movie is to cinema in general, but also
38:39
to like the tone of the movie, Like what you are seeing is unbelievable.
38:44
Yeah, like this music that they created for it, it just matches
38:47
it so perfectly, so beautifully. It really is beautiful, Like it is
38:52
a song that like moves me. Yeah, yeah, and any I mean,
38:57
that's one of the most most recognizable thing, you know, sounds of
39:00
all times. So that's yeah. Um, it's even cooler too with the
39:06
t RExpo included into it. So cool. The only thing I think would
39:09
have made that soundtrack score a little bit better is if they would have added
39:13
stand Out from the Goofy movie On There. This is a great song.
39:16
I think anything is good. If it's added on there, you name it,
39:21
that will make it that much better. That's great. Uh uh okay,
39:30
hold on, I'm writing that down about stay out. Yeah, maybe
39:35
there's like a um what are those called when you combine two songs up?
39:40
Mash up? Thank you? Uh? Yeah. So Jeff couldn't be here
39:45
with us, but Jeff chose. What's love got to do with it?
39:50
I need you to get out on that stage right now. Can't get away
39:55
from me. But if you ever wanted to find her dreams, when you
39:59
can to yourself, clearly, your life will change. She had to start
40:02
believing in herself. You wouldn't without me, and you ain't gonna bring up
40:07
without me. I'll give it all up. Just released the claim on my
40:10
name, and you're gonna walk out of here with absolutely nothing except my name.
40:17
Touchstone Pictures presents the story of a remarkable woman who refused to give up.
40:23
I'm ready, I'm ready, and I know what I want with it.
40:35
But singing a happy bush. So yeah, it's a Molly sad movie
40:45
about Tina Turner and being abused. Is that what it's about. I've never
40:50
pretty sure and yeah, and then of course what's love got to do with
40:55
it? So yeah, pretty famous song? Yeah yeah, um, so
41:01
yeah, I can see why that one's chosen. I just I guess I
41:05
assume that we all would have chosen Drassic Park. Yeah. I thought so
41:08
too, But that's fine. Um, I don't like the movie what not?
41:16
Really, it's okay, it's good. Remember we've made fun of it
41:20
a little. Oh, we did have a special guest. I didn't go
41:22
too hard on it. I felt bad. Yeah, his favorite. Yeah,
41:27
it was good. It's okay, it's good. But you know,
41:29
I'm not a big fan of horror. It's not a worror movie. A
41:32
little loud noises, I get it. The dinosaurs, and they're not even
41:37
funny dinosaurs. What's the point. What's the point of having a movie with
41:39
dinosaurs if it's not a hilarious take on modern society aka Dinosaurs the TV show.
41:45
Yeah, that's funny. So yeah, the song came out in nineteen
41:52
eighty four, and then they yeah, but it's not based on the song.
41:55
It's basically right career career, not to mastic abuse. Well that includes
42:01
that. Well, okay, I didn't know if they were focusing solely on
42:09
because because Angela Bassett's in it though, because they were a couple, like
42:16
a performing couple, right, Argentina, I believe. So okay. And
42:21
then was he I don't know if you know, but was he abusive like
42:27
on stage or or just behind this behind the scenes? Yeah okay. That
42:31
movie made sixty million dollars though on a fifteen million budget. That's prett damn
42:36
good. I mean she's huge. Yeah. Also, she's putting it.
42:38
She's in a movie. People are gonna go see it, not like George
42:42
Straight all right, what songs do they have? Nothing too? Yeah?
42:52
I mean yeah people some people know these, but nothing like oh wow,
42:55
that song's on there? Oh shake your tail feather, I like that so
42:59
nice? Not the not the Will Smith like that's the one I know,
43:05
which is also dope. I will mention that there was a couple that I
43:08
almost considered. Um one being Um You Idiot, which was the soundtrack to
43:15
Rett and Stimpy they released like an official album, and then Um the other
43:20
one was cone Heads. I don't be just because there's one song on that
43:27
album and it's it's my favorite red hot chili Peppers song, which doesn't say
43:31
much because I'm not a huge fan of them, but sould to Squeeze was
43:37
just written for that soundtrack and that's the only way you could have gotten it
43:39
back then was buying that. And that's a beautiful song, I think.
43:44
So it's weird that nowadays you can get whatever you want, whatever you want.
43:47
I know, I takes away a little bit right That song by offspring
43:52
the I can't think of right now. Of course I love Oster I've seen
43:57
multiple times, but do do Yeah, what the fuck is that song called?
44:06
Anyways, there's one Offsprung song growing up to where I was like,
44:08
please don't be the end, Please don't be the end, and it's like
44:10
yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like, no, it's the end.
44:14
So I never got that full song, and when I did, I was
44:15
like fuck, yes, it was so cool. But now gives us some
44:19
song whenever you want. So it's actually so smart at that time too,
44:22
to like get a band to write one song for your soundtrack. Yeah,
44:28
because oh yeah, because yeah, what are you gonna do? Because yeah,
44:30
otherwise you know that soundtrack isn't that great. I mean, the Space
44:34
dam soundtrack like has amazing, amazing people writing just one song. Yeah,
44:39
that's true, but like the cone Heads one, it's like all songs that
44:43
are like just hits and familiar. But this one song by the Chili Peppers
44:46
is brand new and they're huge at this time. And if you love them
44:51
like you know, like a lot of people do, like you have to
44:52
go spend thirteen fifteen bucks on this album just to hear that one song's it's
44:57
pretty wild. Yeah, So well, that leaves us best album and best
45:01
song. Where do you guys want to go first? Let's say album.
45:07
I guess it's alphabetical, first album ninety So I know we were talking about
45:15
him before, and I know your love for him, Maria, but I
45:16
chose Sting ten Sumners Tales. And this is the reason why, because I
45:22
almost chose thirty six Chambers by Woutang, but I didn't get into Wootang tis
45:25
about twenty years old. But little Andy loved me some Sting. You're rember
45:35
we Bofe, you'll fuck get the sun in his jealous sky. So I
45:52
listened to this. I listened to this CD so fucking much. I don't
45:54
know why I wasn't. Probably my daddy. He was into like smoo jazz
45:58
and stuff. So anyways, and why I listened to all that stuff.
46:00
But I think that's why he liked staying was because of this appearance on this
46:04
The Simpsons that's out there too. I mean, yeah, I mean it
46:06
stings great. And then when ever you seen that with him and Conan,
46:08
and Conan's like, hey, we're gonna do a for a charity, but
46:13
the charity's TBD and it's Sting shows up and he's like, what's this forecast?
46:17
We don't know yet, and then he gets like some old man and
46:20
it's just like it is funny. But Stings always seemed really cool to me.
46:23
Um. I think that Fields of Gold is I think one of the
46:25
most beautiful songs I've ever in. I fucking love that song. And I
46:30
didn't realize how great Shape of my Heart was either until I was a dolt
46:32
and I was really listening to it. I'm like, the whole song is
46:35
about playing poker, and as a little kid, you know, I probably
46:37
kind of like, oh, pook, you know, but just the way
46:42
he uses and he breaks down which each card is for? Oh, I
46:44
love it so much. And then actually Nas later on sampled that for a
46:47
dope song. But if I ever lose my faith in you also a great
46:52
song. It reached number two on the Billboard two hundred and it sold over
46:55
fifteen million records. And uh, I just think stings are really cool.
47:00
Like just recently I saw him. He was at this winery just randomly.
47:05
He stopped did a concert with him and just some guy in an acoustic can.
47:07
He played like a forty minute set and there's like twenty people around just
47:10
watching, and he kills it and it's fucking great. And I love that
47:14
his real names like Gordy, So that's cool too. Yeah, I'll double
47:22
what Rhea said earlier. You just you just constantly surprised me. Yeah,
47:27
I'm like an onion. I have a lot of layers. Counting Crows,
47:31
maybe because I think they have an album out this year, but they did.
47:35
But I felt like we talked about the Counting Crows the same CD last
47:37
year, didn't we Maybe I don't know, that's maybe formed and that's why
47:43
you picked them for Best New Artists or something. Perhaps you know, maybe
47:45
they did a video ninety two and then I don't know, but I was
47:49
like, didn't I have to talk about So I don't know, but yeah,
47:52
I was thinking, are you crying? Ay? No, but I
47:58
fucking love stinging fields of Gold was back in the day with cell phones you
48:01
could buy like these horrible MIDI versions of of ring Tones, and that was
48:08
my ring tone from like I don't know, sophomore year at a like high
48:10
school or that and then conan to the con late night cone and yeah,
48:15
ring tones. But if anybody wants to hear one of my favorite songs of
48:17
all time, fields of Gold, uh, it's fucking great. You can
48:21
also find this acoustic version that's really good. And then every time I wake
48:23
up or do anything in my house, I sput on I go ALEXA,
48:27
put on meditation music. A lot of times somebody would do this, like
48:30
in a really cool meditation or meditative way. It's awesome. So uh yeah,
48:35
yeah, all right, and really quick. The fact that the police
48:38
kicked him out because they thought they were going to be better without him,
48:40
and then he goes and just fucking sells millions of CDs and no one has
48:44
heard of those other two assholes. So fuck you Gordy all the way making
48:47
I'm I'm making my stand right here. I don't care anybody, So are
48:52
you a fan of the Police. Yeah, just but I've only know I've
48:55
only know the singles. I don't really I've never deep Dough, but I
48:59
think rocksand was one of the best songs ever. I love this song.
49:01
Okay, well, Rhea, what was the best album? All right?
49:07
So, so, like I said, I didn't really. There wasn't a
49:14
whole lot that stood out to me this year. So I was going to
49:16
go with Ace of Bass, but out of sheer number of songs that I
49:21
liked on this album, I went with Easy Come easyco by George Straight and
49:29
Call the no Body's ever seen it, but It's got the sugar. It
49:38
all started with the Call has a very Buck Owens kind of feel, and
49:52
I really really love it. Yeah, you were listening to earlier today and
49:59
I was like, first I did think like Buck Collins. M Yeah,
50:02
so talk a little bit about like some of the songs on there that you
50:06
like, and so I like love Bug and Stay Out of My Arms.
50:12
I wasn't fooling around. And that's where my baby feels at home. And
50:16
he has quite a few um slower songs on this album too. But I'm
50:22
not a huge fan of slow country. But that is like nineties slow country
50:30
ballads like that is the epitome, you know, like him and and Garth
50:34
Brooks. But I really like the them for more up tempo songs. Yeah,
50:40
I'd say this is one of the more exciting years for country. But
50:46
but yeah, that's cool. Um are you now? Let me ask you?
50:51
Are you just are you doing this to be different? Or do you
50:52
like Asa Bases album more than this album? No? I think I like
50:59
four songs on this album compared to just three on a Subace, So I
51:05
would listen to this album more. Probably that's fair. If you went around
51:08
town and you were screaming, stay out of my arms, do you know
51:13
how insane people would think you are? Just stay out of my arms.
51:16
We were named for a song. It sounds like, uh yeah, stay
51:21
out of my arms. I love that because you, for the most part,
51:23
have control over your arms, so for you to request someone not to
51:28
be within your arm range, that's funny. I like that, although I
51:35
do. I would say my honorable mention would be Plush. I really liked
51:37
that album, but I didn't really start listening to STP until I was nineteen
51:43
or twenty. Yeah, I wasn't gonna do a Utero for Nirvana, but
51:45
I did it ninety one. I do love that CD, though, but
51:49
I was like, yeah, let's switch it up a little bit. So
51:51
Okay. When we started this podcast three years ago, I didn't think we'd
51:55
be talking as much about George Strait as we have. Yeah, frequently,
52:01
it's like every fifth episode because I really like eighties stuff a lot, and
52:07
it's funny that we're we're still just talking him up. And you know what
52:14
he's He's an impressive artist and long lasting too, Like he had hits all
52:17
the way up till recently. It's it's wild um okay, uh uh.
52:27
You know, I really struggled with my best album. I wasn't I wasn't
52:30
super excited about the albums that came out this year. I also didn't want
52:34
to pick this band because I picked them before, and I don't want people
52:37
to think like but I I don't know. I had to be honest with
52:39
myself too, and so I had I went with Pork Soda by a Primus.
52:43
Yeah, when I was like, oh, you have to, you
52:45
have to, I mean, that makes total sense. And I also was
52:47
like debating it too, because it's not it's not even close to my favorite
52:51
Primus album, but it is their best selling album. It is what sold
52:55
them the most copies. Um really yep. Was their biggest hit was My
53:00
Name Is Mud. But it is a cool album and it's it's an interesting
53:07
one for if you're if you're a Primus fan or if you're a Les Claypool
53:10
fan. This is really where less Claypool went heavy, heavy on the sixth
53:14
string compared to previous albums. But also why I'm choosing this album is because
53:22
when I started learning bass and I was learning tabs and trying to play as
53:27
many songs as I could, I bought this um tabletture book of Primus's hits,
53:31
and like a lot of them were from this album, and so a
53:36
lot of these songs I learned to play on the sixth string that I made
53:40
my parents by me when I was in middle school, and so of those
53:45
I learned how to play Bob, which is a sad song about suicide.
53:50
Yeah, And then I used to play stand up bass and orchestra through high
53:57
school. This is my favorite Primu song. I was assuming you're going to
53:59
bring up Yeah, it would and I would play it all the time and
54:22
it would piss off my my teacher. But mister Crinkle, that's my favorite
54:25
private song. But I think that's one of the coolest songs. The video
54:30
is like scary, but it's not scary. It's just really cool. That
54:34
whole thing. I feel like it's like art, like that song and that
54:37
video, just the whole thing is I love that song. Yeah, yeah,
54:39
And this is he's he's played the stand up in a few others,
54:44
Like he's played it in a couple of times, and I think sees a
54:46
cheese and some stuff. But I mean every time you see them live,
54:52
when you see him put down one of his basses and he picks up that
54:55
stand up bass, you just know that it's gonna be mister Crinkle. Yeah
54:59
still, but I will, Okay, well we should go if you go
55:04
for sure. Um And then just some other songs in there. I mean,
55:07
I mentioned my name is Mud. Welcome to This World got very um
55:10
popular again for South because of South Park. Um uh dmb is one of
55:17
those songs that when the first time I heard it, I was blown away
55:20
by it and I was just like, I don't know how he's doing that.
55:23
And then um the Pressman, Nature boy a couple of songs I like,
55:28
and I really love this song on there, which is a nine minute
55:30
instrumental called Hamburger Train. Yeah. Um, so overall it is a good
55:37
album. It's not my favorite Primus album, but I couldn't lie to myself
55:40
on this one and I had to pick them, so it makes sense.
55:43
Yeah. Yeah, it'd been cool if they crossed over with Cypress Hill that
55:46
year and had like insane in the Hamburger Train, Insane in the Hamburger Train.
55:59
You know what's funny that the mentioned Cypress Hill. Um, we have
56:02
a ninety station at my work just to mix things up, and didn't say
56:06
in the Membrane will come on all the time. But I can't. I
56:08
can't not do like the symphony version of it, Like I have to helme
56:14
that long with it. And they're actually doing that now too, which is
56:16
cool. Oh no way, Yeah, yeah, I think they're doing like
56:20
the California Bowl or something like huge like that too. With that's wild.
56:23
He has one time he goes like, some people tell me that I need
56:27
help. Some people need to fuck off and go to hell. God damn
56:30
man, they just trying to help you out. Okay, be real,
56:34
Just let Somebody help you fucking hey? Um well, Jeff Um unsurprisingly also
56:39
picked well when We Would All Expect, which was Music Box by Mariah Carry
56:45
Sure sure um, and it is the number one selling album that year with
57:12
thirty million copies. Dang yeah, doubled stings. What's that doubled sting sales?
57:22
Oh? Okay, well, I was gonna go run through the top
57:24
ten best selling albums real oh nice? So yeah, music music Box Myri
57:30
Carey does that thirty million. Um, Ace of Basses U does twenty five
57:34
million for number Tweese Robbed, Robbed. It seemed like they're doing okay.
57:40
Aerosmith Get a Grip gets twenty million. Janet by Janet Jackson twenty million in
57:46
fourth place. Fifth best selling album was meat Loaf for Bad Out of Hell
57:52
Too Back into Hell. Whenever we do these top selling album um, there's
58:00
always the greatest hits albums that just break them all. And so one of
58:02
them was Tom and Petty and the Heartbreakers at the sixth best seling Dion's Color
58:07
of My Love seven at eight was Garth Brooks in Pieces. I considered it,
58:12
but there's only like really two songs I like on it. Brian Adams
58:16
had the ninth best selling album and Tony Braxton, with her debut, had
58:20
the tenth best selling album. So that's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good,
58:23
yeah, Andy, if it helps at all. Unirvan had the fifteenth
58:29
and where did Counting Crows place before four They placed fourteenth. Yeah, and
58:35
Kurt was trying to write a CD that everybody would hate. Yeah, he
58:40
do want to be famous, so you're trying to make it like the Yeah
58:44
that's nuts, huh yeah, yeah, all right, cool. Yeah,
58:52
I'm about Smashing Pumpkins that year. Oh yeah, yeah, I did want
58:57
to mention too. Yeah, Smashing Pumpkins had an album this year. We're
59:00
pretty good for them. It is a good album. I considered it.
59:04
This is gonna sound really I'm sorry to all the Smashing Pumpkins fans, but
59:08
like, I much prefers one that was his kind of like off. Have
59:16
you heard the newest single from Smashing Pumpkins. No, no, it came
59:21
out like a month ago. It is so bad. I love me some
59:25
Billy Corgan. The timing doesn't sound right. It's kind of like electronicy.
59:30
It's really repetitive. I'm like, what in the just fucking play some guitar
59:35
man. I don't know. I was very disappointed because I've always liked Billy
59:37
Corgan a lot. I think it's great. Yeah, it's it's weird when
59:42
these bands kind of just come back, you know, and do something.
59:45
Uh Matchbock twenty has a new album coming out, what Yeah, and their
59:49
owner if He's scared. I say that every time anytime. So many songs
59:54
Rob Thomas scared. He's figs up being scared in like ninety percent of his
59:59
songs. It's fucking anyways. It sounds very like ma it's not, but
1:00:05
he doesn't have a good Maroon five voice. I listened to the first single
1:00:08
and I was just like, this is this is way different? Oh yeah?
1:00:10
Ever Clear had an album this year that I considered, and um krs
1:00:15
one had an album this year that I was a sparkling fade. Did that
1:00:19
come out ninety three? No, I don't think so. And then um
1:00:29
Rancid also had ye I wonder if it's World of Noise, then Forever Clear
1:00:37
it was World of Noise. Overall, not a huge fan of that CD,
1:00:40
but that song, Uh, Nervous and Weird is one of my favorite
1:00:45
rock and roll songs of all time on that CD from Every Clear World of
1:00:47
Noise. They actually just came out with a remastered version and they added like
1:00:53
six or seven songs that weren't on the original, so it's pretty good.
1:00:57
And they remastered World of Noise too. I remember you back in eighty three.
1:01:00
I love that song. O love song? Nice? Does that change
1:01:04
your best song that we're about? No? No, this one that?
1:01:07
Uh? I love the song still to this day. No, I'll go
1:01:10
into right now, I guess. And he just brought this gentleman gentleman up
1:01:15
and it's funny because he wrote this song for a best of CD, but
1:01:20
like he wrote it for the CD, which is weird. But it's Tom
1:01:22
Petty Okay, Mary Jane's last dance. She grew up and never was man,
1:01:30
but grew up tall and she grew up right with the Indiana Boys on
1:01:36
the Indiana And that was my favorite song in second grade. Little Andy remember
1:01:46
going to skate Palace in Salem and that song was on, and I'm like,
1:01:50
fuck, yeah, I love that song. It's a really simple song,
1:01:54
three chords A minor G to D, but it sounds cool with a
1:01:58
little hammer on on the A and anybody and if like, if you play
1:02:01
guitar, there's a chance. I mean, you can play the song.
1:02:04
Anybody can play guitar and play this song. It's a crowd favorite. So
1:02:07
I've played this like if I'm drinking Buddy's around, I'll, you know,
1:02:09
put it on camp fire beer. Everybody knows the song. It's great.
1:02:15
The video is cool with Kim Bay singer or bassenger, I don't know,
1:02:17
but uh yeah, kind of a really crazy video. I love Tom Petty
1:02:22
all around. I think he's a great artist, and this song, I
1:02:23
fucking I love this whole feel of the song. I think the lyrics are
1:02:28
great, simple rock and roll stuff, simple chords like it's one I think
1:02:31
one of my favorite but like rock songs of all time. Huh yeah,
1:02:36
I don't disagree with any of that. And this sort of led into some
1:02:39
of my favorite versions of Tom Petty, like his solo album Wildflowers comes around
1:02:45
this time, and yeah that harmonica too, Yeah yeah right, yeah,
1:02:52
no, I that's the song I often forget that is a nineties song.
1:02:54
Yeah, it's I think it's time. I think that's one of the songs
1:02:58
I'll go on forever because it's just so so simple. It's so simple,
1:03:00
but it's so good. I fucking love that song. He's also one that
1:03:04
had pretty cool music videos. Yeah for sure, right yeah, like wild
1:03:07
uh deep, ride out deep Deep wide Open. That sounds weird. He
1:03:15
blew open had to wake up early for work today, so I'm just staying
1:03:21
Yeah. Now, he's had a couple cool videos, like there's one where
1:03:23
he's like an Alice in Wonderland style. Um yeah, it's running down a
1:03:28
dream. It's pretty cool. Um. I don't like the chorus of that
1:03:31
song of Last Dance with Mary Jane. I like the verses. Check this
1:03:36
out. I one agree with you. When I was younger, I was
1:03:38
like, I wish they changed up the chorus a little bit because I'm not
1:03:42
I don't think it's the best one, right Yeah, but I think that
1:03:45
makes me love the verses more because the churse isn't as strong. So I'm
1:03:51
like, oh, I wonder if that was. I mean probably not.
1:03:53
I'm assuming like if I'm writing song, it's I'm like, I'm gonna make
1:03:58
a subpar chorus to make the first better. But it fucking works. Like
1:04:00
there's a new song by Data Remember called I Don't Know. It's not porn
1:04:05
but uh, it's really heavy. But the course is so cheesy. But
1:04:11
when it goes back into the verse, it's like, oh shit, from
1:04:13
the badness to the goodness makes the goodness even better. So I don't know,
1:04:15
but I'm with you. I think the course could be stronger, but
1:04:17
they may have done that to make the verse better. I don't know's it's
1:04:19
very simple, yeah yeah, but all right, cool, yeah, all
1:04:26
right, this should be come as no surprise to anybody. Best song is
1:04:31
What Is Love? By Hadaway. Yeah. I knew somebody was gonna put
1:04:35
that out here. That's sick. Yeah, I mean, how can it
1:04:57
not be? Yeah, for sure. I mean I hear that song in
1:05:00
commercials now still all the time, Like, I mean, it's synonymous with
1:05:06
an SNL sketch. Ye that it's only I think really is only famous because
1:05:13
of that song. Oh yeah, yeah for sure. And I guess they
1:05:15
were going through different songs, but they heard that one instantly they were like,
1:05:18
that's it, and that it contributes to Will Ferrell, like he may
1:05:23
not have gotten as famous as you do without that song because of that SNL
1:05:28
thing. You know, so may never know, Yeah, yeah, you
1:05:30
know, because he did his first movie was that movie. I guess I
1:05:31
think, yeah, it could be wrong with it. Yeah. So the
1:05:33
movie is called The Night at the Roxburry, Okay, and then the Roxbury
1:05:38
was the sketch on snlum famously had Jim Carrey in it, but him and
1:05:42
Chris Katan are these two guys that are dressed in these like just hideous metallic
1:05:47
colored suits and they they just they bobbed their head like with the song and
1:05:56
they just they hit on women like very poorly, like not even like inappropriately,
1:06:00
just like bad. They're just really bad at when I guess they're all
1:06:03
cooked out too, which I didn't get as a kid. That's why they
1:06:06
rubbed their nose constantly. I'm like, I didn't know that when I was
1:06:11
a kid, and I'm a dog watching them, like, oh, it's
1:06:13
like they're fucking really high on coke at a club and that's why they're all
1:06:15
like maybe and they're always like this yeah crazy. Yeah, I will say
1:06:19
like SNL movies are usually bad, um they're big hit or their bignesses.
1:06:27
Now at the Roxbury is great. I remember that movie. I don't remember
1:06:30
like any of it. I kind of remember like a beach. Yeah,
1:06:33
Will Ferrell like makes it of course, but like, um, yeah,
1:06:39
anyways, but yeah, the song itself is is a banger. Yeah,
1:06:45
yeah, everybody knows the song. I feel like, yeah, yeah,
1:06:48
I've never you know me, I'm not familiar with SNLS. I couldn't have
1:06:54
placed that, but yeah, this song is just beautiful and like I think
1:06:58
of nine if you it, you mentioned nineties dance hits, like a lot
1:07:01
of people would probably consider that the the one. Yeah. So I'm looking
1:07:09
at the lyrics right now. It's they say, love a lot, don't
1:07:13
a lot? Yeah, no you do. It's a simple stuff. I
1:07:19
think it's like because those lyrics are insanely simple. I don't know, I
1:07:23
love it. It's a good song. Yeah, all right, sticks in
1:07:26
your head. Um. Well, I considered um some Dwight yoakum for best
1:07:31
song, but uh and best album. It was a pretty good album,
1:07:36
um, but I went with UM and maybe Andy would be the only one
1:07:42
who kind of knows this, but um, I went with a Rebel Girl
1:07:45
by a Bikini Kill. Oh I know of them, Yeah, yeah,
1:08:08
okay, I'm not. Yeah, so they're kind of a they're a punk
1:08:11
outfit. UM, led by Kathleen Hannah and they're out of Olympia, Washington.
1:08:15
And UM her first band, Bikini Kill, UM punk female centric female
1:08:24
lead. UM also has like a lot of Stooges energy and vibes. So
1:08:30
if you like the Stooges, I think you'd really like UM Bikini Kill and
1:08:34
Rebel Girls just like a fun heavy punk song. And UM, I just
1:08:43
really like Kathleen Hannah's work. She UM can be funny and she can be
1:08:47
quirky UM, and she can manipulate her voice in cool ways. And she's
1:08:51
part of a band that I just I have recently gotten really into, which
1:08:57
is the Julie Ruin. I don't know if you know them at all,
1:08:59
Andy, but UM, really really cool stuff. UM. And then like
1:09:04
if any of you seen yes Man the m the Jim Carrey movie, So
1:09:11
the band, the band that Zoey Deschanelle is with is them. And know
1:09:17
who she's married to, h ad Rock from BC Boys, Oh dope,
1:09:23
shit. Because I saw the name, I was like what because I was
1:09:25
just at the Wikipedia to like see what of the band shoes and I was
1:09:27
like, yeah, Adam married to Adam Horovitz. I was like, don't
1:09:30
I know the name? Oh yeah, shit, But there I just get
1:09:33
in these like moods sometimes where I just want to hear like um, kind
1:09:39
of like female punk and metal and alternative like playlists and music, and like
1:09:46
a lot of her stuff's on there, so that's dope, yeah, and
1:09:48
I'll check them out. I like simple punk punks got me into music really
1:09:53
for the most time. And I would say it's like it's pretty simple,
1:09:55
but like, um, I think once you hear it and be like,
1:09:58
oh yeah, studges for sure. Iggy Pop's going on tour right now.
1:10:01
Again, man, that's one of the worst counts I ever seen in my
1:10:06
life. This was okay, Yeah, I guess he at this time he
1:10:12
didn't want to play any of his old music, so I'm like, well,
1:10:15
nobody has heard your new CD because it hasn't fucking come out yet.
1:10:18
But this time he's playing like old songs like God, that would have been
1:10:20
cool to see. I also drank almost a fifth voka if I saw him.
1:10:23
Sorry, holy fuck yeah. And they had some girl the open for
1:10:28
him, and she was playing a guitar with like a violin bow and it
1:10:31
sounded like shit and you couldn't leave and come back in. And I don't
1:10:33
know what the fuck they were doing it anyways, yeah, so yeah,
1:10:39
yeah, but I'll check out Bikiniki because I know of them a lot,
1:10:41
so nice, Like, I know, I see them a lot, like
1:10:43
I see their name of around and Butch or whatever. Checked them out,
1:10:45
so right on, and then Jeffrey left us with week by s wv uh
1:11:11
kind of R and B song. But also I spent two weeks on the
1:11:14
top billboard. So yeah, I don't know much about it. I've never
1:11:17
heard it. Yeah, I mean if I maybe, if it isn't like
1:11:20
play, i'd be like, oh that's long, but that may I don't
1:11:23
know. Yeah, nice ye, jeff jeff so cool. Well though those
1:11:31
are all of our choices, some countries, some punk, some staying.
1:11:35
Uh so anyways, uh andy, I think you have some do you know
1:11:43
it for us? I do? But yeah, ninety three I think we
1:11:45
said at the very beginning, very weird year. Nothing was like two stand
1:11:48
out stand out is for me. I don't know, it's kind of weird
1:11:51
though, Yeah, I would I would describe it as the year the nineties
1:11:56
forgot. I don't know, like that might be a yeah, yeah,
1:12:00
the Grammy's surpassed it, like ninety two was so big and then yeah,
1:12:03
ninety ninety two, I was like, oh, I gotta choose this one.
1:12:06
Now, I gotta choose this one. And this year I'm like,
1:12:09
I guess I'll choose this one. You know. Yeah, But here we
1:12:14
go to something. Do you know it? Dud dude? You know what?
1:12:17
Dodd dude, you know what? Quiz uh. So I originally did
1:12:21
this for the food episode for Steve Bridges, so the very first question is
1:12:28
kind of related to that. So here we go. Since we want to
1:12:31
keep it creamy with our guest. He's not here, though, I thought
1:12:34
I would ask some creamy questions. So question number one, which rap group
1:12:41
wrote the song cream is A A crisscross B, A tribe called quest ce
1:12:48
Utang clan or d bone Tugs and harmony. Yeah, can take the first
1:12:55
guess um a tribe call old quest I Menna guess Boutang it is Wootang Cash
1:13:04
rules everything around me. Cream get the money, dollar dollar bill. I
1:13:10
grew up a fucking screw. I'm just skinning b. I like that's why
1:13:13
if I was into Outang when I was younger, I would have chose that.
1:13:15
I didn't get into my intels in my twenties. So the first Grammy
1:13:19
Award for Best Rap Album was presented in nineteen ninety six. Who was the
1:13:25
very first recipient? I guess who was the first reciptive recipient. It can
1:13:30
be a group, so that's why I'm saying that. So it's a Tupac
1:13:33
Me against the World. Both Eggs of Harmony Harmony nineteen ninety nine, Eternal
1:13:40
ODB because there's no father to his style, Old Dirty Bastard for Return to
1:13:44
the thirty six Chambers or Naughty by Nature, Poverties Paradise and what is what
1:13:48
was the award again? Uh? Best Rap Album? I'm gonna guess Tupac,
1:13:59
You're probably right, but I'm gonna go with Bone Thugs m he was
1:14:04
ninety by Nature. I love ODB though. That CD is so fucking good.
1:14:11
Uh So the number one selling rap CD of the nineteen nineties according to
1:14:15
XXL magazine, is it Eminem Slim Shady, LP, Doctor Dre two thousand
1:14:21
and one, The Torrious Big Life After Death or MC Hammer Hammer Don't Hurt
1:14:27
Them? Man? Could be any of these. I'm gonna go with BG.
1:14:34
Did that album? Did Doctor Drake come out in the nineties? Are
1:14:36
you fucking with me. I came out ninety nine. I think I'll go
1:14:41
to doctor Dray. Uh. It's tied, isn't toorious? Big ship's getting
1:14:47
in tense? Okay? Is red Man? Is Redman a member of Woutang
1:14:56
Clan? Yes? Or no? I'm gonna say yes, yes, it
1:15:03
was no, he's friends with method Man, but he's never It was like
1:15:06
expected dadhopa kill. I'm like, I can tell you ghost face Killer.
1:15:14
Okay, I'm having fun. All right, we're doing terribly. What was
1:15:17
Eminem's rap group called? Was it Inner City Posse, Detroit Trouble, Eminem
1:15:27
and the Sweat Hogs or D twelve D twelve, but I want Eminem and
1:15:33
the Sea its twelve. You guys both got that right. I did make
1:15:38
up Detroit Trouble, which I'm like, that sounds like such a good nineties
1:15:42
rap name, like pull Up Goes Down on the double because it's an inner
1:15:46
City Posse is where ICP started. Then it turned to insane clown Posse.
1:15:51
So interesting, Okay, here we go. Who did We only have about
1:15:58
eighteen more questions, so it's like a lot. Who did the theme song
1:16:02
for Keenan Nickel? Was it cool mood coolio Llo cool j or iced tea.
1:16:10
It's coolio coolio Okay, okay, last question, yeah, yeah,
1:16:14
yeah, both right. Bonus question for six hundred points. What was the
1:16:18
first rap CD that I ever bought with my own money? Was it Easy,
1:16:25
E Eternal E, Tupac, All Eyes on Me, Bone Thugs and
1:16:29
Harmony, The Art of War or Cypers Black Sunday. I'm gonna say Tupac,
1:16:40
damn it, that's what I was gonna say. You can say that
1:16:42
too, alright a minute. M Heart of War came out later, though,
1:16:54
I'm gonna go with Bone Thugs. Ah, so close yet so far?
1:16:58
It was Easy? Oh yeah, Easy. That's why I like,
1:17:00
uh, every time my friends are to get drug grown up, i'd always
1:17:03
wrapped just like Easy, walking down the street with sons like a dog.
1:17:09
It's just that simple rhyme style. But I love Easy. Yeah fucking It's
1:17:13
my very first like rapper that I really got into. And uh so yeah
1:17:15
tie so no winners, no losers this time. Sorry, very rap centric,
1:17:23
do you know? Yeah? Right, yeah, and that's why I
1:17:26
failed. I don't really know much nineties rap, like, especially early nineties
1:17:30
rap. I was never into well. I was always way more into West
1:17:35
Coast rap than East Coast rap. That's why I never got into wootaking tis
1:17:39
an adult and just like Big never really got into except that song we as
1:17:42
about like when he calls Puffy or puff Pad, I don't know his name
1:17:45
is, but when he calls him, he's like about to kill myself.
1:17:46
And the whole song was like that that sounds fucking sick. I love that.
1:17:49
I never what do you say, like hang out with the goody goodies.
1:17:54
I can't remember that song sick though I love them. Yeah, And
1:17:58
I was always East Coast over West Coast, so like I never listened to
1:18:01
like Dre or Tupac ever, I always just like more. I always felt
1:18:05
like West Coast even when it comes like hardcore music. I just feel like
1:18:08
West Coast is a little more aggressive and like heavier with a rap hardcore or
1:18:13
anything like that. But I felt like East Coast had a little bit smoother
1:18:16
style, like like Wutang. If you listen to their style, it's I
1:18:20
think moutang lyric lyricwise, some of the best stuff ever. But if you
1:18:26
want to get me ifey, like America's most wanted with you know, Tupac
1:18:30
and snoop that last shit, it's like Okay, let's go anyways. Yeah
1:18:32
yeah, which is so funny because like East Coast West Coast, like West
1:18:36
Coast is so much more laid back, and I just felt like, maybe
1:18:41
because it's like hotter, people are more angry than the California I don't know.
1:18:45
I think of like, if you want to get me amped, I'm
1:18:48
like, let's fucking listen to some bone thugs like Cleveland. So yeah,
1:18:54
Cleveland's kind of in the middle, right, I'll I don't know, I
1:18:58
don't know. I would consider them more East Coast though, then West Coast,
1:19:01
yeah, I mean, I mean I'm talking about geography wise. Yeah,
1:19:05
I don't know. It was the east. I don't know. I'm
1:19:08
so bad at geography. I mean, if there's a map, I could
1:19:11
like point at the direction. I think most people will consider Ohio the midwest
1:19:15
though, Oh Cleveland's in Ohio. That makes sense, see, because like
1:19:21
where I picture it, it's like here, right, and there's all these
1:19:25
states over here, and then like Ohio's here, and then the East Coast
1:19:30
is just right up here. Yeah. I think it's kind of like right,
1:19:33
yeah, but did you ever watch I think it was ninety four.
1:19:38
I think that's the year outcast one best Rap album at like the Source Awards
1:19:42
Awards, and that's like when you know East Coast and West Coast is real
1:19:45
beef and and Snoop Dogg in front of like I don't know five hundred people
1:19:48
because it took place in New York and there's like five hundred enemies basically,
1:19:53
and he's like, y'all don't have love for fucking Doctor Dre and Snoop do
1:19:56
let it be known it's so fucking gangster. That's crazy. But anyways,
1:19:59
it's an comes later he's like, let it be known. The South has
1:20:01
something to say too. I was like, what, it's so sick anyway?
1:20:04
Yeah? That that hold? Andy, we should do an episode on
1:20:06
the nineties rap shit that's sick. Yeah, dope, all right, all
1:20:15
right on, well, um we did it. We did it at Night
1:20:18
Music and ninety three. Um, I think after doing this, I'm I'm
1:20:21
excited for ninety four. I think ninety four will be like a new I
1:20:27
think it'll be welcoming and more of a new era of the nineties. So
1:20:30
yeah, Andy, what do you want to promote for me? Say goodbye?
