Okay, so here's a whole bunch of new old songs, some of which you might not know, but some of which if you don't know means you should be drowned in a bucket.
79. Sonic Youth - Kool Thing
Here's one of those bucket songs. You had better know this one. I just saw it used in the soundtrack of Once Upon a Time (my mom was watching it, I swear). So, even corporate idiots know this song is Kool. Side note: I used to have a crush on Kim Gordon. But not nearly as big as my crush on Kat Bjelland from Babes in Toyland.
80. Blur - There's No Other Way
This is kinda before Blur was really Blur. This song was very stereotypically "Madchester." On their next album they departed from this sound entirely -- they grew up, basically. Anyway, it's still a catchy song.
81. Sugar - If I Can't Change Your Mind
Husker Du... blah, blah, blah... Bob Mould... yatata yatata. You forgot about this song, and here it is to say, "Hey! There was more than one single off this album, muthafucka!"
82. Quicksand - Fazer
If you weren't really into something like Helmet or Tool or Jawbox, you probably never paid any attention to quicksand. Now's your chance.
83. 10,000 Maniacs - Candy Everybody Wants
I'll give you what you want. Natalie Merchant is kind of hot, but she always looks really uncomfortable, like she learned facial expressions from a robot.
84. Lightning Seeds - Pure
Soft, friendly pussy pop. I really, really love this song. At one point I owned two Lighting Seeds albums, but other than this song and Blowing Bubbles, I can't remember them.
85. Stabbing Westward - Save Yourself
I'm so pissed at my parent, dude, that I'm gonna get all screamy and shit and go JINKY-JINKY on my guitar real loud a bunch of times!!!
86. Cowboy Junkies - A Horse in the Country
Cowboys and Junk. Enough said.
87. Mr. Bungle - Quote Unquote
This is one you don't have to drown yourself in a bucket over. And... you're welcome. Mike Patton, famous for being the 2nd and better singer for Faith No More, somehow finagled a deal for his pet project Bungle in order to join up with FNM. And while the 1st Bungle album is not really spectacular (unless you are SUPER into circus tinged Funk Metal, and I mean, who isn't?), they went on to produce near gold on Disco Volante and California (get me out of this air conditioned nightmare).
88. Jesus Jones - Real Real Real
What's up with these guys now? They always appeared to be a caricature of what British scenesters (probably) looked like in 1990.
89. MC 900 Ft. Jesus - Killer Inside Me
I am seriously scared of this white guy. He's hard, right hard. And I don't want him making me die. So I'll play his video to appease him.
90. James - Born of Frustration
Native American activists got this video banned after they unsuccessfully sued the Atlanta Braves. (Please tell me this joke doesn't go over your head. Watch the video to refresh your memory.) And damn, there are too many people in this band. The Brits really went overboard on the huge band lineups.
91. Too Much Joy - Crush Story
I really don't have too much to say about these guys. Their name stands out in my mind more than their music. But on hearing this song again, I do remember I really did like this one back in the day.
