Off topic, but did anyone else just feel an earthquake?  :o

Oh wow.  How long does it take to find out what it registered?  I never felt more than a 4.0 while living in SF.

I thought "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" was fresh when it came out.  Then "Two Princes" stayed in radio rotation for two years and I came to despise the guy's voice and the empty-sounding drums that defined too much early-'90s alt-rock.
I was gonna say almost the same thing.  I was excited about the Spin Doctors and bought their album.  But that guy is just a crummy singer.  "Two Princes" just sucks.

I was in Taiwan, so I never heard Two Princes on the radio, only on MTV Japan on cable.  I liked the video because the protaganist was bassist Mark White & it was in the style of a silent movie with dialog cards, one of which read: "Mark makes his move." 

But then I got kind of tired of it too.

How could anyone hear Rodney King and think it was 1986?
