dont make lists

#260 - Belly - Feed The Tree

105 songs of the 90s down and easily the most 90s a track feels. Uh, so far.

#316 - Frank Black - Freedom Rock

my name is chip

and i’m different

#160 - The Magnetic Fields - I Thought You Were My Boyfriend

Nonsensical comparison alert: pretty sure Stephin Merritt is the only person to’ve made more great pop songs than Michael Jackson. Also, while most of those came in the 90s, and i’m not a huge fan of the no-synth trilogy in general, there’re still a lot of gems this decade gone by. This is one of them.

Also, FAO: Office fans. I came across this. The internet, eh?

#319 - Mission Of Burma - Youth Of America

PAAAAAAAAAAANCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

This is a cut from Mission Of Burma’s 2004 live record Snapshot. It doesn’t capture the highs of Vs./Signals era MoB or the Wipers original, but both of those are highs seen very very rarely in the history of mankind, so I’ll let them off for producing a more-than-adequate cover version in their fifties. I can think of very few (any?) other rock bands that still sound vital at that age. Ridiculously psyched to catch them at ATPavement later this year.
