I have an awesome '95 mix tape that was sent to Taiwan for an ex-pat friend of mine from his buddies at the Duke Univ. radio station.  Puts this dreck to shame.

Among the songs on that tape that Dave surely won't play:

Ben Folds Five "My Philosophy"
Bush "Everything Zen"
Foo Fighters "I'll Stick Around"
Elastica "Connection"

btw I had a real feeling about "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me"


gosh, i forgot all about bush. i could go for that. wait...nevermind. what was his name? gavin something? his voice annoyed me at first, but i really liked the music, so i put up with him. and elastica? did they sound just like bush?

what is this synth sample in "macarena?" i think the vocal sample is from the farm.

FWIW, back in 1994 my friends and I were doing the "Macarena" dance to Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" and Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts."  I have no idea where we learned it from.


wilson pickett, obviously.

i don't remember how to macarena. i guess that's ok. in fact, i don't remember anything about the macarena. it must have been just awful.

Gavin Rossdale.  But you can call him "Mr. Stefani."

Elastica wasn't as grunge-influenced as Bush was.  Closer to Veruca Salt and Liz Phair.  Coulda been power-pop if they'd so aspired.

I'm not completely hating 1995. Of course- I wasn't really listening to the radio back then- so I haven't been Katrinafied.

1995
« Reply #37 on: March 09, 2005, 10:31:13 AM »
1995 was a big time year for me.  I left my company, opened ggould.com, Jerry Garcia died, which accelerated my AOL biz hyperbolically, and I took up golf.

And at the very end of the year, my dad died of melanoma.

Gavin (Mr. Gwen Stefani) Rossdale

Elastica has a female lead vocal, but I can see the resemblance a bit.

I'm too slow, this has all probably been said.

I was on a lengthy phone call and I guess I (thankfully) missed the Macarena.

Where's "A Girl Like You"?  or the Smokin' Popes? Surely we'll get "Run Around" by Blues Traveller?

'95 was one of my Worst. Years. Ever.

BTW, "Macarena" was # 1  last nite on the VH-1 countdown of the Worst #1 singles ever (well, worst to be released after 1980).

Jeff Buckley

For me, since Tim Buckley was one of my all time favorites (saw him live at my very first concert, Winterland December 1967) I always saw Jeff Buckley through that lens.  I'm presuming some of you don't have that perspective, and you thought he was a good artist in his own right?
