Ah, the 90s! Everyday you move farther and farther away. But with these three songs I can remember you and the sad days you left me with.
Sweet Jane-Cowboy Junkies
I actually prefer this version to The Velvet Underground. I know that’s sacrilegious.
Fade Into You-Mazzy Starr
The singer Hope Sandoval is an Eastside girl. Maybe because of this, I’ve had these recurring one-step connections to her, random stuff like back in the 90s, the guy who once told me “Didn’t I see you at Hope Sandoval’s party last week?” I guess all of us indie Latinas had a similar look?
Dreamtime-The Heart Throbs
“We’re so tired, so tired of everything…”
I liked the use of Mazzy Star’s music in the Edward Norton movie Down in the Valley. Maybe an overlooked film. I wonder who’s seen it and liked it.
The 10’s may bring more sad times. Looks like we’re in for a lull and more widespread disillusionment. We’re never young again, so we’ll experience it with less angst. So that’s a plus!
I heard Hope has some new musak out.
Thanks for the comments!
I have not seen that film but will definitely look for it. I agree the future seems a bit hazy and it’s not just the Magic 8-Ball talking.
Hope will be playing soon too!
