Day 25: A song from the 90's

More punk!! It took a while for me to warm up to Michael Graves replacing Danzig. It was such a dramatic shift in tone for the band that it feels like two completely different ones which, as I've come to terms with, is fine!

Here, with a music video directed by none other than George A Romero!

Misfits - SCREAM!

Points total: 4!

Day 25 - Song from the 80’s

+1 candy

I’m not gonna lie… I thought this was an Aaron Carter original

 

[Wonderer67]

That was some incredible punk!! Thank you for sharing And a lovely story to boot!

It was a fun weekend. The rejects wanted us to come to Boston where they were playing AND premiering their biopic, East End Babylon. But we had tix for the Billy Bragg show in Baltimore the next nite.

You won’t find a funnier and nicer bunch of guys. Made is feel like we were in the band.

We did a double a few years later. the Who at the Nassau coliseum and then the rejects the next night in Brooklyn.

The original original was The Strangeloves in 1965.

Day 26: A song from the 90s
Hauntingly beautiful, and heartbreaking, especially if you have ever lost someone to illness or age.

"From the back of your big brown eyes
I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
And I hoped you would
We could see that you weren't yourself
And the lines on your face did tell
It's just as well
You'd never be yourself again"

I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's. By the end, it was a relief -- he was almost never himself. But his last night he held my nephew, his first grandson, and knew him. And he looked me in the eyes, lucid for the first time in weeks, and told me how much he loved me.

I can make it to the first timpani notes before I break.

"Magic," Ben Folds

+1 for "magic," for 4 total.

"You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground..."

Day 26: A song from the 90s
(just realized I was supposed to be doing a Halloween scary and candy theme… ooops, day late and a dollar short)

Sticking with the theme of British subcultures and associated music… Acid House was huge, but more of a late 80s thing. Mods, Teddy Boys and Soul Boys, Ravers, punks and skinheads were all back in fashion.

BritPop was flourishing, acid house, drums n bass, techno, psych were the big underground things. Indie music was taking off too.

I tried the acid house scene, but it wasn’t for me. It didn’t resonate at all, and I felt like an outsider. (20 years later, I’d find that the music was pretty fucking amazing and that maybe I missed out.)

Football casuals became the new look for the troublemaking hooligans going to games. in the 60s and 70s, it was pretty easy for authorities to identify the mods, suedes and skinheads who were looking for trouble.

In the late 70s, the football casual look to prominence. To most every day people people wearing designer, clothes and hats, might not look like troublemakers. The look morphed in the 80s, 90s and into the 00s and today.

The 90s look was characterized by Stome Island (hats, sweaters, track jackets and shirts), but any designer look was very in. Aquascutum, adidas and Lacoste. This sounds like a bunch of dandies, but you would not want to meet these guys in all likelihood.

Their choice of music range from standard pop to indie and Britpop songs.

Day 26: A song from the 90s

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
"What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees"

Anna being Anne Frank
I use NMH a lot for the 90's as they sum up that era for me, when bands from the Elephant 6 made amazing records that were overlooked as other things were happening in the world of "music". So many good bands lost out at that time.
Anyway... think that gets a point.
