a rare visit to '95.  We still haven't hit '96 this year.

So the Gin Blossoms' "Til I Hear It From You" is the TOTHC, then?  I'll give it BOS, it's a lovely song and the band's output holds up nicely.  They brought the tambourine back into focus, too!

P.S.  I still don't know anyone who saw Empire Records, the film this tune came from.

HM to "Hook," which we all should have seen coming.  When I think of '95, I think of Blues Traveler pretty quickly, along with Sophie B. Hawkins' "As I Lay Me Down" and Martin Page's "In the House of Stone and Light."

There's potential for some interesting stuff in this set (Jayhawks & Son Volt both released their best records this year, also early Wilco, but not their best.) Who knows if we'll actually hear any of those or not.

Sorry, Blues Traveler doesn't fall into my "interesting stuff" category.

Ayup!  I remember barely recognizing the slimmed-down John Popper.

BOS2 to "Legalize Our Love," which I majorly shouted out in my EMP speech.

All I'll say is at least it wasn't "RunAround".  '95 makes me think of "A Girl Like You" (also from Empire Records, no?) and another great sndtk, Clueless  -- would that Dave would play the Smoking Popes "Need You Around".

I took a quick glance thru the Top 40 Hits site list for 95 and didn't see a lot that would be likely to show up here--mostly stuff along the lines of Rembrandts, REM, Petty, Bonnie Raitt, or god forbid, Hootie.

yeah, i was glad it wasn't that other song, either.

what was that dancing song from "clueless?" "where my homies at?" or something like that? something the characters were singing at a party...
Title: OKC Day
Post by: ggould on May 11, 2005, 10:18:23 AM
while I don't care for a lot of 1995 music, it was a very important year for me.  On the day of the OKC bombing, I was meeting in a house that used to be Bill Graham's Masada, and agreeing to sell my company.

Later that year, Jerry Garcia died, which had huge financial impacts on me, ironically positive, which made me feel pretty weird.

I'm sure we'll hear Hootie, and I'd LOVE to hear "I'll Be There For You" by the 'brandts -- THE most-played song of the year, radio-wise.

I guess "Legalize our Love" precludes us hearing "I Kissed a Girl"?

I remember the OKC bombing very well -- I had just finished defending my senior thesis a day or two prior, and was sitting in the on-campus cafe watching the news on CNN.  I remember everyone assuming it was foreign terrorists.

Was it '95 that Jerry died?  I associate that with '96 since when I moved to SF in September '96 and started hanging out in the Haight, Jerry memorials were still all over the place.

Yes, 8/9/95.  The official GD Calendars are missing the 9 in their August page; it's blank.  I was at my guitar company (still) that day, meeting with the bass player from Megadeath (real nice guy) but I had to bug out to my new office.  The chat rooms had exploded, and I had to be there, so I left Dave, who understood, and left.

Meanwhile, VHM to Dionne Farris's "I Know"; what I *don't* know is why she never had another album (or indeed, another single) promoted as heavily as this one.  This song should be more fondly remembered.

LOL!!!

Allegedly, the author of the book Leaving Las Vegas, which hadn't yet reaped him any reward, was incensed by Sheryl's song of the same name, claiming she stole his ideas.  When she appeared on (Letterman?) and disingenuously claimed the creation as hers-all-hers, it was allegedly one of the last straws before he committed suicide.

Apologies for misremembering any details.

And W-O-S x infinity to Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast at Tiffany's," one of the emptiest songs I have ever heard in my life.

A friend of mine was the bass player in the Tuesday Night Music Club, and also feels somewhat abused by Ms. Crow, which is understandable.

I thought it was one of the songwriter/musicians from her debut album who killed himself? Not the author of the book.

Being Patricia Neal's rent-boy wouldn't be bad, though.

Great scene in Dragon, the Bruce lee biopic, where he and his date are at the movies in 1962 watching BAT and we see his reaction to Rooney-as-Oriental.
