flagpole sitta

so lately i've been obsessed with a decade i was too young to actually remember. last week when i was bedridden with a cold, i watched the whole season of 'my so-called life' for about 12 hours straight, and had a realization: the 90s RULED.

okay, i'm not a fan of pearl jam and clothes that look horrible on every body type, but there was some pretty great music back then that shouldn't be overlooked. for instance: when jordan catalano finally holds angela chase's hand in public, an epic song called 'late at night' by 90s band, buffalo tom comes on, and really makes the scene. click here. it's hard to find the whole 'so-called life' soundtrack, but it includes some great tracks by the cranberries and sonic youth. slowdive isn't featured on the show, but it definitely fits the angsty teen mood. not to mention 'souvlaki' is a beautiful album, regardless of its decade. maybe because genius brian eno co-produced it, and co-wrote songs 'sing' and 'here she comes' (not to be confused with the velvet underground song). so put on your doc martens and flannel, and listen to this rad shoegaze.
