speaking of stealing beauty...


if you really want to take the delorian back to 90s melancholic crooning (and i do, this wintry day), find yourself mazzy star's "rhymes of an hour"...or most of the stealing beauty soundtrack will do...this soundtrack is the 90s equivalent of what john hughes movie soundtracks were in the 80s. totally evokative of that age. what happened to all these triphop dark and moody musicians of our college days....
mazzy star, portishead, tricky...
ok so the musical stream of consciousness rolls on...red house painters, trash can sinatras, sundays, lush, my bloody valentine (loveless still makes me fall to bits and pieces), cocteau twins. ..lotion and madder rose and medicine and red red meat. any of you out there that want to wax on about your favorite 90s college radio bands (and i know mine are not anywhere near indie)... please do!! i'm feeling nostalgic! will band names ever be so weirdly cool? remember 'harriet the spy' (both the band and...the book series that spoke to all of us tomboys who thought nancy drew was kind of prissy (relatively speaking). sorry nancy.
