Yesterday's Zeitgeist: A Series of Songs You Won't Find Elsewhere (Part 4)

[Something snarky, overly-jaded, and self-effacing]
Very original, I know.

22. Stock On by English Softhearts


The only version I could find is muddy as fuck, unfortunately.  Or... maybe fortunately if that's your thing?  Underneath that fuzz is a good rocker though.  And by "fuzz" I mean "total lack of compression and whatnot".  Cuz I don't wanna imply that fuzz is a bad thing.  Cuz the 90s be all about dat fuzz.

23. Facial Disobedience by Radon

There's a better-sounding version on the YouTubez, but for some reason Blogger is stupid and can't find it.

Weeeee more early pop-punk!
God damn it I'm really running out of things to say about every single song.  I mean, what, I like it.
Also it's late.  And work in the morning.  And why am I trying to get this post done before hitting the sack.

24. Trunk by Spinout


Cowpunk: something that only could have existed in the 90s.

25. Not Too Soon by Throwing Muses

Translation: Thomas is tired and lazy.

26. I Get Lonesome by Beck

Once again Blogger's being a bitch.
Here's the URL:

Thank me later.

Okay, I know the subtitle of this series is "A Series of Songs You Won't Find Elsewhere" and most of these have been pretty out-of-nowhere so far, but if you haven't heard of Beck... go rethink your life.  Not to be like "OMG BECK IS THE EVERYTHING HOMG", but if you've heard of the 90s, you should generally know at least one thing about Beck, at least the fact that he exists.
And also this song's really good.

27. Not All Right as covered by Meat Puppets

Wow, Blogger is really on that shit tonight.
Here, fuckin' URL:

Curt Kirkwood, whatever I did to hurt you, I'm so, so sorry.
Song originally by The Germs!

28. Suki by Unrest
And last but not least...!
(What would the proper punctuation be if I'm trying to indicate trailing off and yelling at you at the same time?  The above, right?  That "...!"?  I mean, the exclamation before the ellipses would just look stupid.  And you can't really put the exclamation before the sentence.  What is this, Meck-zee-ko?)


Finally, a frackin video that I can actually find with the uploader.

Know what?  There, that's the last song.  That's it.  Go home.  No, no "in summation" or dramatic closing thing, that's all you get.  Done with this.  I have other things to be doing.

PS: I'm sorry I yelled at you.  Daddy's had a bad day at work.
