From the end of the movie Gift – Perry Farrell from Jane’s Addiction and Ice-T from Body Count duel it out with Sly & The Family Stone’s classic. Original lyrics: Don’t call me nigger, whitey Don’t call me whitey, nigger Don’t call me...

I’d forgotten all about The Prodigy. It’s hard to believe this album is 20 years old. It still holds up to all the EDM out today. I ended up having a great workout. Breathe also got the ideas flowing for my next book. Psycho-somatic addict-insane? The...

Stone Temple Pilots was not one of my favorite bands of the 90s, but their music was always playing on my friends’ CD players, on the radio, and on MTV. I can’t help but get nostalgic when I hear them. We lost many remarkable artists from the 90s....

Girl or guy–who doesn’t swoon over Brett Anderson? Gaaahhh! So pretty. In case you haven’t heard, “Suede will release their stunning new album ‘Night Thoughts’ on January 22nd, 2016.” That happens to be my birthday, so if anyone...

The Crow is one of my favorite movies of the 90s. It has an amazing dark and romantic soundtrack. I just love how The Cure’s song plunges in and sweeps you away. I wish they hadn’t made the sequels. They should have just left it alone. There is a remake of...

This song was released just shy of 1990, but I’m including in in 90’s Monday anyway. Close enough, right? Love and Rockets was formed by Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins after Bauhaus split up (we’ll visit Peter Murphy in the next post). I...

The first book of my series-in-progress is set in New Hope, Pennsylvania; a tiny town harboring an eclectic mix of history, art, and assorted weirdness. During my recent trip to New Jersey, I was able to pop across the Delaware River to investigate. While I was there,...

I know, I know… this song was first released in 1988. And it gained more notoriety from the movie Fight Club, which didn’t come out until the tail end of the 90’s. I wasn’t into the Pixies in ’88 because I was only eleven years old and...
