$10 Bill by Cop Shoot Cop ??

may 29, 1992
6400 block brookside drive, watauga, texas
my best friend's bedroom
where i was the first time i heard "smells like teen spirit"

now, "new slang" is a great song but "smells like teen spirit" changed my life. it was a line in the sand, a line across which i could either cross or stay behind. i could either stay behind in a world of musical artifice and meaninglessness (although guns'n'roses actually was ok) or i could let a song get absolutely under my skin and become part of my soul. i look back now and i own that song, everyone my age did.

a tv show i used to watch (vastly, vastly underrated because it was on nickelodeon of all places), "the adventures of pete and pete", had an episode where the little pete went all over town and did everything imaginable to find a song he'd heard just once coming out of someone's garage. he just couldn't find it again. that, strangely enough, was the way it was with SLTS and me. i thought the title of the song was "here we are now, entertain us" and nobody i knew knew who sang the song. that is until my friend got the columbia house catalog. 12 cds for a penny.

that being said i sure haven't heard "firewater burn" by the bloodhound gang in a while...think i'll go rectify that right NOW.

oh, sorry, the title of the thread is a GOOD song i haven't heard in a while...don't want anyone getting any misconceptions about my musical tastes

I think I heard Pete&Pete is out on DVD.

"You get what you give - New Radicals"

Season 1 and Season 2 of Pete & Pete are available on DVD. I'm still amazed by Michael Stype's role as the elusive Mr. Frosty...

pete and pete was the greatest show. Artie was the best and the episode where older pete was trapped in a car with his dad and he had flash cards to help him think of things to talk to his dad about really hit home when i first saw it. Plus petunia, little petes tattoo, was hot. I was in a bar not too long ago and they played the pete and pete theme song in the bar. I think it was by "they might be giants" anyone know for sure?

actually now that i see the entry about michael stype i wouldnt be surprised if it was rem who sang the song.

I celebrate DJ Funk's entire catalogue.

-andrew

pete and pete could be the single greatest show of all time. it was way ahead of it's...time.

i dont think i have ever used the word time that many times in two sentances.

Manu Katche is Bad-A on that album (Nothing Like the Sun)

i haven't put this on my turntable in a while. when i heard it chills went all through my body. this reminds me of why i collect records.

i recorded it for you all to enjoy. pops and all.



much better off

and a bonus because it makes me feel so good. more tasty pops...



yes its you

polaris sang the theme song -- now, i haven't heard THAT in a long time.

for whatever reason the entire "oldies" radio format that my mom used to listen to has completely fallen off the face of the earth -- how else would i have found out about the british invasion?
