turns out the 90s IS the future!

maybe it's time to resurrect this blog, considering a number of things;

1. i saw mudhoney play this summer in malmö, and the audience was full of young people with 90s band t-shirts and sonic youth tattoos.



2. every other 90s band is re-releasing their greatest albums (on vinyl), or even recording new ones! also, they are on tour. lush, belly, L7, the jesus and mary chain...





3. well, that was about it. also, it would be nice.

4. i just bought tickets to see dinosaur jr in november.

How to disappear. Not completely

Hello again.
To the millions of (silent, apparently) readers of this blog out there... sorry for disappearing again.
I promise it won't happen any more.
I offer you Lush's "500 (shake baby shake)" as an apology.
There's an alternate video for this song, and it's definitely sooo 90s: a kind of summary of 90s videos mood, something resembling Stone Temple Pilots' "Creep" meets Garbage's "Stupid girl" meets Whale's "Hobo humpin slobo babe" meets Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet with butterfly wings".
Pretty cool indeed.
But tonight I prefer version #1. An image for "carefree happyness"? Miki (Berenyi) singing and nodding her head in time while driving a 500 (yes, "500" is that tiny car's model, symbol of Italy's history and culture. My family owned two of them when I was a kid!).
Enjoy
(Now go and buy "Lovelife"!)
