The 90s were where I started to be obsessed about music again.

Wow, there was a rush to play Brenda Kahn, and I don’t think anyone even mentioned Blind Melon! Interesting…

Kevin - - Take care of that sore throat. Bella and Rosanna may be getting ready to stage a coup.

Welcome Mighty Kymm - - and thanks for the fun education about Gays, Jews, Food, Family and Baseball. ‘Dork’ takes many forms, so you may have to settle for being merely as dorkily cool as the rest of the CP Nation. (Coolishly Dorktastic?) I think you fit in fine.

FiL - -A challenge to recognize song lyrics of The Fall when you’re not-uh reciting them-uh with Mr. Smith’s cadence-uh. (Tee-hee-uh)

Hearing ‘The Bodyguard’ soundtrack mentioned a couple of times brings to mind the memory of it being responsible for finally making Nick Lowe rich, via the Curtis Stigers cover of ‘Peace Love and Understanding’. That factoid is the only thing I remember enjoying about the film and its soundtrack.

Hearing TMBG’s ‘Fingertips’ again and remembering it’s so-called ‘intended’ function, it makes me think that one might get much better results nowadays including it in a random-shuffle iTunes mix than I ever did years ago in a carousel CD player on shuffle mode.

Too much!

Great fun, all!

i love these episodes because everyone shares special things about themselves, what they were doing at the time, their lives, etc. thank you to all of you who do that.

jc–i was at the gym when i was listening to that song and it is still incredibly apropos!! astounding.

john/dirk–i really liked that song, had not heard it before.

i would have submitted michele shocked’s “come a long way” if i’d gotten my act together in time. the line about “gone 500 miles today and never left l.a.” about summed up how i felt those days, when i was a young mom with an infant and a toddler. i never got anything accomplished!

big, big welcome to kymm, micky and jerry!

Linda, the same goes for me. Nirvana touched it off for me. I loooooved “Nevermind,” but the copycat bands? Notsomuch. But, they snapped me out of a jazz infatuation.

1992. Wow! Some diverse music here.

Warm welcome to Kymm. Well done. And a totally out there pick!!

House of Love. Love it. I agree that they should have been an enormously popular band. So good.

Kevin, so romantic and so lovely to be introduced by your little ones.

Conrad, what a lovely introduction and such a perfect song. I don’t think I will ever hear it again without thinking of you and your family.

Got to love the Singles tracks.

Romeo Void…just what I needed. That really brought me back, Linda.

Wow! This took me back some. If I had not succumbed to next week’s theme I would have contributed “Married, Two Kids” by the Fall (it mentions 1992 in the lyric) - also from Code:Selfish from which Fil took ‘Free Range’. John your choice was more than excellent - and ‘Geek Love’ was the first song I ever podcasted. Thank you.
PJ Harvey was on my shortlist too. Memories of seeing her perform this at the Powerhaus in Islington came rushing back - cheers Chris. But there was some new stuff here that I loved too - notably The Colourblind James Experience. All in all a very diverse 2 hours well spent.
