Wanna go down a youtube rabbit hole with me? Too late… seems like there are better things to do besides watch:
“Rock Lobster” by the B-52’s live on Countdown
“One Week” by Barenaked Ladies (canadiens have an immaculate sense of humor)
seems like a 90’s night: “Gimme Some More” by Busta Rhymes
(that shit was so fucking amazing to experience for the first time and is pretty much just as amazing to experience like fucking 20 years later…)
“Hard to Explain” by the Strokes (what the fuck? Us kids didn’t know Television so this is the most amazing thing we had heard like this)
speaking of that shit: “Marquee Moon” by Television
speaking of bands influenced by Television: “You Only Get What You Give” by the New Radicals
the 90’s brought me to this, one of my favorites: “Virtual Insanity” by Jamiroquai
and this: “Weapon of Choice” by Fatboy Slim
and this: “Protect Ya Neck” by Wu-Tang
by the way, “The 36th Chamber of Shaolin” is amazing. It’s on Netflix, just sayin…
this is also from my childhood: “Jump” by Kris Kross
man, I miss Starter Jackets…
and with that same sample from “Paul’s Boutique,” “I Missed the Bus” by Kris Kross
and we go to a random scottish girl I have a mad crush on: “The Mother We Share” by Chvrches
“We Sink” by Chvrches at the Doug Fir in Portland, OR (I love playing the Doug Fir but fuck Portland)
“Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio
When was the last time you watched “Dangerous Minds?” It’s fucking awesome. Michelle Pfeiffer is so gorgeous and talented, I could watch it over and over…
Speaking of the 90’s, remember the Offspring: “Pretty Fly for a White Guy”
Oh yeah, the Offspring used to be pretty good: “Self-Esteem”
I only knew my biological father til I was 6 years old (and vaguely remember the physical/emotional abuse he put upon me, my mom and sister) so this song always hit me right in the fucking solar plexus: “Father of Mine” by Everclear (another Portland band) but I never heard from my father for the rest of my life (supposedly, he’s still alive in Phoenix. So Fuck Phoenix)
This autoplayed after the last song, so here you go: “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger
How many bourbons are recommended for a Monday night? 5? Sounds right.
Here’s the final song for tonight: “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon
Not sure how this popped up on my list but fuck yeah, the best music video ever… Now, I’m happy. That doesn’t happen often so I fucking love this…
