Song of the Week

I know this is a 90’s related blog, we’ll get to why this song ties into the 90’s in a moment, but this is one of my favorite Bob Marley tunes. Yes, it’s a bit played out, but none the less a beautiful piece of music.

It’s funny that when you’re not feeling down you want to listen to some mood music. And, for me at least, Chris Cornell is a one of the masters at self-loathing music. So naturally I’ve been listening to a lot of his stuff lately.

This song is dedicated to Lindsay Lohan, since it’s her birthday and all.

I was trying real hard to avoid listening to any Pearl Jam before I see them this week, and next, but I just can’t help myself.

This is an amazingly obsessive, yet hypnotic track from Garbage. Which is pretty obvious, but here’s confirmation from front woman Shirley Manson when talking about the song:“All real love is a form of obsession, if you love someone more than anything else, that degree of exclusivity requires an abnormal amount of passion and care. And that can be positive. It’s just that keeping it short of unhealthy, short of violence, really requires a bit of moderation. You can’t let something like that take over all of your thought processes.”.

One of my favorite Nirvana songs, which I’ve been playing a lot. For me, it’s a great song to explain those times when you just feel trapped in life. Whether it’s because of a relationship, work, or just life in general. It helps me feel less overwhelmed. Although, I think it’s rather obvious that this is about a girl in a confined life, but I let it work for me anyways.

“The Perfect Drug” has been on my mind for some time now. But, since I played it on Rock Band over the weekend I just can’t get it out of my head now.

As I watched Into The Wild last night, I was once again reminded of the beautiful soundtrack by one Eddie Vedder.

Bush may not have been one of the best bands from the 90’s, but they did have some decent songs, which includes “Swallowed”.

This is a great track written by drummer Matt Cameron, which always get stuck in my head once I hear it.

Since my little brother is returning from Italy tomorrow, and I also have something big planned for Pearl Jam in May, “Brother” has been playing a lot this week.

“Never There” was the first single off of Cake’s third album Prolonging the Magic in 1998. It spent 3 weeks at the top spot on the Modern Rock Tracks, making it a pretty big single.

I bumped into this song over the weekend and it’s been on constant rotation ever since.

This is a cool little number from Porno for Pyros.

Don’t remember who Porno for Pyros were?
