EDIT: 1. (New #1 'cuz of the theme day, up to '95 in the Jop polls.)
Yikes, '95 not so hot compared to '94. Reluctant ticks, and I might go back and re-tick "Waterfalls" now that I've unticked it (but I like "Creep" better and don't think the other one really needs the help...for some reason I thought "Waterfalls" was bigger in '96 but I might be remembering that wrong).
SBD '95: None to speak of, really. Maybe one of the Portishead songs or something, never really cared about them, though.
HSR '95: Edwyn Collins, Method Man/Mary J. Blige (ages since I heard this one), Filter, Garbage.
Not much to say for '95, changed schools, made new friends. Very much liked Alanis Morissette, Oasis, Skee-Lo, Smashing Pumpkins. Kind of a middle of the road year in most respects. (If "Violet" had been included I'd point out a sort of proto-confessional trifecta, Courtney-Alanis-Garbage. But it wasn't so I won't.)
2. K-Fed's new album streaming at AOL here. So far VERY BORING and pretty safe, guy's a mediocre rapper, nothing like the audacious lameness of "Lose Control" (which doesn't sound as lame as it looked). Fed to fans: "I got 50 mil, I can do whatever I want. I don't need a record deal, I can do whatever I want." C'mon, K-Fed, stop being so insecurr. I'm rich and I don't even care what you say about me! Seriously! No, really, I mean it, doesn't get to me at all! I just laugh! Ha! See, it's funny, because you thought I cared what y'all think...see, 'cuz I don't. Did I mention I'm rich, which means I don't need to care about what people think of me? Because that's also true, if I didn't mention it. Aaaaaaaaaaand I have a lot of money. This guy gets THIRTY THOUSAND A WORD. I quit.
3. Fall Out Boy makes it onto Radio Disney by a very slim margin with kinda cute Nightmare Before Christmas cover "What's This?" Don't expect it to do very well. Other RD news, Tiffany Giardina in the incubator, a lighter (lite-r) take on Hilary New Wave.
4. Amy Winehouse has piqued my curiosity with "Rehab," more later. Now to prepare for MISLABELED MONDAY III.
