Bush - Swallowed

Bush may not have been one of the best bands from the 90’s, but they did have some decent songs, which includes “Swallowed”.
“Swallowed” was the first single from the band’s 1996 sophomore release Razorblade Suitcase. It then spent 7 consecutive weeks on top of Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks, which is pretty amazing to me cause there […]

Pearl Jam - In The Moonlight

This is a great track written by drummer Matt Cameron, which always get stuck in my head once I hear it.
It was recorded during Binaural, but didn’t make the cut. It saw the light of day on the rarities compilation Lost Dogs in 2003.
It’s always been one of my favorite tracks off of Lost Dogs, […]

Pearl Jam - Brother

Since my little brother is returning from Italy tomorrow, and I also have something big planned for Pearl Jam in May, “Brother” has been playing a lot this week.
“Brother” appears on Pearl Jam’s Lost Dogsalbum, which is full of rarities. It was originally an outtake from their debut album Ten.
Apparently this song almost broke the band up before […]

Cake - Never There

“Never There” was the first single off of Cake’s third album Prolonging the Magic in 1998. It spent 3 weeks at the top spot on the Modern Rock Tracks, making it a pretty big single.
What I like about “Never There”, and I guess most Cake songs, is that the music is just a tad upbeat, while the […]

The Lemonheads - Into Your Arms

I bumped into this song over the weekend and it’s been on constant rotation ever since.
“Into Your Arms” was from the 1993 album Come on Feel the Lemonheads and would hot the numero uno spot on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks in November of 1993. The track also appeared on 1998’s The Best of the Lemonheads: The […]

Porno for Pyros - Tahitian Moon

This is a cool little number from Porno for Pyros.
Don’t remember who Porno for Pyros were?
Well, they were a side project from Perry Farrell and drummer Stephen Perkins after the first break-up of Jane’s Addiction. They were only around from 1992 to 1998, but released two pretty decent albums.
“Tahitian Moon” was the only single released from […]

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

What a great song by Radiohead!
The track appears on their second album, The Bends, which was released in 1995 and was the first single from the album here in the States.
Apparently, frontman Thom Yorke recorded the vocals after the band had just seen a show by Jeff Buckley and then proceeded to cry after the […]

Tonic - You Wanted More

So last weekend I happened to watch the 1999 flick American Pie, because there was nothing else on. The movie isn’t that great as I once thought it was, but it was fun watching it and reminiscing on high school days.
However, one thing that I really enjoyed about the movie was the use of “You […]

Bright Eyes - When the President Talks to God

This morning I was sipping my morning cup of joe and glancing at the news, when I noticed an article about today being the fifth year anniversary of the war in Iraq.
Now, this isn’t a political site, it’s about music, so that’s where my mind drifted anyways.
I got to thinking about the last five years and […]

Pearl Jam - I Am Mine

This site just doesn’t seem the same without some Pearl Jam, so here we go.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve had “I Am Mine” in a constant rotation, both on my iPod and just in my head.
“I Am Mine” was the first single from the band’s seventh studio, which was 2002’s Riot Act. Vedder wrote […]
