LUCAS WITH THE LID OFF

Oh God...my college radio station had me playing that.

Actually, they had me playing a lot of shit I didn't want to play.

Not the most horrendous thing in the world, but I'm a sucker for big band samples. "City Zen" from that record is also decent.

Lisa Loeb - I Do

she also had a hit with "stay" from the reality bites soundtrack.

now there's a movie that i thought was terrible and i just couldn't get into, but the soundtrack was incredible. well, maybe not incredible, but it was damn good.

Fuck, that's what I meant. 'I Do' was hardly a hit. Maybe. I don't know.

But yeah, Stay is what she's known for.

Also, I love Better Than Ezra. Still.

I've got their Trot Out The Encores album. Haven't listened to it in ages. I remember they reminded me of a more mellow Afghan Whigs and that I really liked about half of the album. Gonna have to play that thing today, methinks.

That's the only song of theirs I know, but it also reminds me of Afghan Whigs.

Thought of another one:

Komeda "Boogie Woogie/Rock'n'Roll"

All of those songs I either heard on WHFS 99.1 (Washington, DC), WBCN 104.1 (Boston), or WFNX 101.7 (Boston). Commercials stations all.

Had I made a mix before going to Mexico in June '97, all of this would have been on it.

Also, saw the second and fourth on New Rock Fest 97.

This actually still gets played on "alternative" radio a LOT.

Familiar with his Haircut 100 stuff, but not the solo music.

Stroke 9 - Little Black Backpack
Citizen King - Better Days
Dovetail Joint - Level On The Inside
Kottonmouth Kings - Dog's Life
Marvelous 3 - Freak of the Week

Sugar Cane was a pretty fun song. That whole Marvelous 3 album is fucking great actually. I still listen to it fairly often.
