that late 80's- early 90's playlist. 2.23.05

i am a patient boy. i wait i wait i wait i wait i wait... everybody's moving, everybody's moving, everybody's moving moving moving moving. - fugazi, waiting room

i've taken some liberties with the timing and i have no flippin' idea when the cop shoot cop song came out. i will look it up after doing some homework. but mostly the music is from the above period. i didn't go as far as tsunami and the spinanes and the poster children though i have been listening to said bands recently. if you want a copy i might oblige you in the near future.

i left tanya donnelly off because she sucks. i can go into my theory that she is actually a talent sinkhole. it's the big eyes. really, i can write a post on her.

* poor eddie money. and the human league. and a flock of seagulls and bryan ferry. a little out of time. and modern english and bobby brown and father mc. i don't have jesus jones or emf or bad brains. i did put on a girls against boys' song (i would have preferred disco 666).

left off: there is no public enemy, cypress hill, alice in chains, screaming trees, catherine wheel, mc lyte, oaktown 3-5-7, soundgarden, liz phair, slick rick, epmd, afghan whigs, beastie boys, teenage fanclub, sunscreem ... and of course no stone roses. nor any voluptuous horror of karen black. or k7 and the c+c music factory. and i never really knew red cross.

choosing between the fugazi songs waiting room and reclamation sucked. eliminating INXS was hard. and jane's addiction's ted, just admit it wouldn't fit. maybe... a remainders cd...

i can't find the band best kissers in the world online or in stores. but, here is a best kissers story. it is 1992 or so and i am looking for their full length album. i walk into HMV on 86th and Lex- now a best buy- during lunch with my friend and ask the woman behind the counter if she had the best kissers in the world. you try it at home and slur your r. she stared at me to see if i was serious and i realized she thought it was a come on. i apologized. i should have asked her if the line worked.
