is this hootie?
"hold my jarreau hand!"

A Bad bad Thing indeed!
Dave says we're getting "Macarena" which I guess is a '95/'96 overlapper. God Help Us All.
And heeere's Darius "Burger King Cowboy" Rucker, aka Hootie.

not today! you did a good, good thing!
-
is this hootie?
yep.
Since I was still in Taiwan in '95 I didn't get burned out on their stuff the way most did. I still like this song in particular.
-
hopefully not...
Hootie. ugh. Sorry if anybody here liked them, but I wanted to shoot the radio I don't how many times... cuz the damn station played every 5th song or something (almost literally)

he did? i must have blocked out that announcement. who recently (as in the last 24 hours) dared dave to play that macarena?

yeah. i'm with you. i can't believe i haven't muted it already. does this song has movements? i feel like it's one, long, constipated note.

That was me, posting about a potential '96 set.

oh, hence the overlapper comment. yeah...

wow...seems like...a decade ago. :)
love your sig.

that made me lol. a lot. i hate this whole period of music. it is exactly like farina, you're right. this is why i stopped listening to the radio - i tired of changing the station every time a song like this came on. and it was everywhere, this sound. there was nowhere on the dial to run...
it's a shame, because didn't collective soul do "shine?" that wasn't so bad. at least it had some cool breaks in it.

Okay, I was with you yesterday on the song everyone else did not like, but I draw the line on the Macarena. WOS, pre-emptive.

hey! u2 did something after achtung that i like!!
wasn't this from a batman movie?
"...never let me go until you've told me, told me..."
-
VHM to "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," even if I'm the only person in America who thinks highly of it among the U2evre.

Don't remind me. this time in 95 i was getting ready to graduate, going thru hell with my last semester, and trying to land interviews before I moved to NYC. Ahh... what a city.
I think I (and hopefully someday we) will get the hell out of Texas, and probably end up back in NYC or SF. I haven't visited yet but I might go see the Golden Gate Bridge sometime over the summer...

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"
-

Indeed, this Batman episode (Batman + Robin?) yielded three big radio hits: the U2 track, R. Kelly's "Gotham City," and Smashing Pumpkins' "The End Is the Beginning Is the End."

Wow, a whole decade since these came out. Color me old.
P.S. I can see Dave playing the Bush track.

y'all come back in 4 minutes okay!

Damn, and I haven't even had lunch yet. damn dry heaves...

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.
-
I missed out on the whole "Macarena" thing.

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.
-
LOL! Geoff, you so crazy!

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.
-
must see flick for conspiracy theorists: arlington road. big okc bombing connection.
-
I'm not completely hating 1995. Of course- I wasn't really listening to the radio back then- so I haven't been Katrinafied.

right, i knew he was murried to somebody blonde...
hmm...nope - don't remember elastica. and i confuse veruca salt with belly. which is all wrong. all wrong. tanya donnelly should slap me.

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.

BOS: jeff buckley!

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 don't remember 1995. i think i was working at chope. i turned 18. i bought a red nissan pickup. i lived in a basement apartment in the sunset. maybe paul heaton was in there somewhere.
-
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?
-
BOS: jeff buckley!
this is the second time this week my sig has connected with a 10@10 song. i had a line from "highway 61 revisited" on monday, and bob played "like a rolling stone." today i have a line from fred neil's "dolphins," which was covered by daddy buckley.

'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).

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?
-
everlast? is that who sings "good?" no, wait. better than ezra? i loved this song. mostly the bass line and the 7th chords.
-
When I saw Jeff Buckley live in 1995, I'd never heard his work, I only knew him as Tim Buckley's son. Impressive voice, he had, though I harbor the nagging feeling that it was his premature death that created his legacy moreso than his songbook.
Meanwhile, an old SNL joke:
At #1, Better than Ezra.
At #2 ... Ezra.
-

When I saw that, I thought of Tim Buckley, but I thought of a song from his second album!
-
I cannot hear "Good" without flashing on Norm MacDonald doing the SNL News, as follows:
Norm: In music news this week, topping the charts is "Good" by Better Than Ezra.
In at number two, Ezra.

P.S. 1995 was a complicated and traumatic year for me. I graduated college in May. In the throes of academic burnout, I'd withdrawn all my grad school applications and planned to follow my friend Victor to San Francisco b/c I was madly in love with him. He was thereupon offered a job teaching English in Japan and jumped ship (so to speak). So I abruptly moved to Boston with other semi-directionless friends, where we lived 6 in a roach-infested 2-bedroom for a few months before devolving into Real World-esque dramatics. I sublet another bedroom for a few more months, then gave up in November and moved back in with my mother & brother. Feels like watching someone else's life on TV, to relive those moments ...

"yes! you are correct, sir!" i appreciate them separately. they have completely different sounds. tim is more groovy (move your pelvis and feet). jeff is more rock and pop (move your head and feet). but, i guess, when it comes to the mellow stuff, they both are as sweet as cinnabon.
i never saw tim live, obv. but i did see jeff, and i've seen few people who can perform with just an ELECTRIC guitar and sing, and have the audience holding their breath until the end of every song.
yay for van!

I think I was in school (the late Computer Learning Center), training for the fine career I now enjoy. Change of life days. Don't remember much about the music of the time, only that the Macarena craze was pathetic.

Just to clarify... isn't it Jinx protocol that the original poster then "jinx!"-es the duplicate poster for being late? Or does it matter?

Indeed, it's basically a rip-off of the Hokey-Pokey. Now the Lambada -- that was a dance (and a better record, too).

Yes. Not sure exactly what happened, but they were more than a little shady. They depended upon federal money -- grants and student loans -- to stay solvent, and had to prove that they actually got people employed. I think they faked some stuff, got in legal trouble, and finally went bankrupt...

my 1995 story is: In January I came back to the Bay Area for the baptism of my 2nd niece & also spent a few days in St. Louis with my folks before returning to Taiwan for the remainder of the Chinese New Year vacation. During this time I told one & all that I was breaking up with my American ex-pat girlfriend in Taiwan and (since I'd already had a failed relationship with a Taiwanese girl) I had absolutley NO PLANS to hook up with anybody during the rest of my stay in Taiwan. I predicted that I probably wouldn't get married for a long time, certainly not until I returned eventually to grad school. My mom didn't like to hear this, since my two younger brothers had already each been married for 6 years.
I then went back to Taiwan for about 16 hours, collected my housemate Tom & we hightailed it to HK & China for the last 9 days of our holiday break, which was a really great trip but featured the bus ride from hell getting back to HK from the interior of China. I was also supposed to pick up my renewed visa while in HK (since no one has diplomatic relations with Taiwan this has to be done in HK), but the Taiwan school sponsoring me screwed it up & I had an unplanned 5 day stay in HK until things were straightened out. Fortunately I had acquaintances with a company-paid flat in one of the nice highrises & they agreed to put me up. During this time Tom was the only person who knew where I was & I had no demands on my time or any possibility of doing anything constructive. It was very liberating to be that completely unburdened. My HK friends had a Filipino maid who cooked for me & did my laundry without being asked. Pure bliss.
I finally got my visa & returned to teach in Taiwan. During the first class I taught after coming back I noticed a new teacher in the adjacent classroom. Our 9th anniversary is in a couple of weeks.
