i always got the sense that elastica was "britpop" for ppl that didn't really get into britpop cuz all the trV kVlt britpoppers i knew didn't seem to rate them
i would put blur at "moderate play" at least for boys & girls, but not heavy rotation...and no other blur songs i can remember until Song 2 got out of the 120 mins ghetto

I'm just saying that you probably shared more with 90s musical culture than you seem willing to admit
Just so we're clear: I didn't want to position myself as an outsider cuz who cares about them. I wanted to be part of the culture! The closest I came to consciously stepping away was when I stopped listening to pop and hip-hop between 1994 and 1996; I had to do a lot of catching up in the late nineties.

I omitted Oasis and Elastica from my original list cuz they actually shipped gold and platinum.

you know i really wonder how much of our impression that mtv was playing '90s indie/alt outliers "all the time" is down to endless beavis and butt-head repeats.

because the idea that i was gonna turn on mtv in the middle of a weekday and get helium and not, say, another viewing of "hey man, nice shot" doesn't square with my memories. at all.

I mean, I also watched Alternative Nation every night and 120 Minutes every Sunday. I'm just saying I distinctly remember them playing Blur in the middle of the day, no one is saying Daisy Chainsaw here

btw i'm not at all denying mtv's entertainment value or its centrality to my daily life even once i became a total anti-radio snob for a few years in the mid '90s.
xposts okay well that's five of us then.

I was too nervous to buy a Daisy Chainsaw album because of their name.
i think Darlene went to a Daisy Chainsaw concert on an episode of Roseanne

I bought Eleventeen and took it back to the store because it was too far out for me. I RE-bought it a couple years later and fell in love with it.
xp yes, she did!

haha the only record i can remember buying that FREAKED ME OUT was "angel dust" but i persevered

also one of the few i ever had to hide from my parents because 1992 was the only year they seemed to give a shit about the parental advisory sticker

strongo - I thought my copy of angel dust was actually heatwarped or something so I exchanged it at musicland. Getting it home and hearing the exact same thing was pretty revelatory for me.

...I even have a Daisy Chainsaw shirt. Never actually saw 'em so it must have been from a friend who worked at A&M.

That said my girlfriend looks askance at some of my choices given their collapsing structural integrity. Then again she somehow ended up with my Bowie/NIN tour shirt, so.

haha I thought Daisy Chainsaw was a made-up sitcom band. next you're gonna tell me Eu4oria is a real drug.

daisy chainsaw IS exactly the kind of band darlene connor would have been listening to

True, but not the neighbor girl who got in those guys' van (also not Daisy Chainsaw material, those guys).

Who knew, they had another video at least:

They actually even made a second album after Katie Jane left. (Not a good one, though.)

Haha, I haven't thought about Daisy Chainsaw in a long time. There used to be a vocal contingent of Queen Adreena fans on another message board I used to frequent years ago, it was quite a surprise when I made that connection.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 1 August 2011 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
There's even a Queen Adreena thread on here. Not a Daisy Chainsaw one (yet, at least):
Queen Adreena - gothic or dud
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 August 2011 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Queenadreena basically picks up right where Katie Jane-era Daisy Chainsaw left off, except some of the songs are much longer.

Man, would love to see some Sifl and Olly reruns; IMO that was the best of their weird homegrown TV shows

there was a noticeable lack of sifl and olly.

I have no idea how I LOVED sifl & Olly but loathe Tim & Eric.

Sifl & Olly was just innocently funny. Tim & Eric is all *wink wink* "we're SOOOO clever!"
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 1 August 2011 16:22 (thirteen years ago) link
sifl and olly was just goofy fuck-around cable-access shit that somehow found its way on basic cable, like so much i loved in the '90s.
tim and eric is like...self-conscious art-comedy. or something
― king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 1 August 2011 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
or what johnny f said.
sifl and olly also feels like the tail-end of a certain knowing-but-not-toxic '90s aesthetic whereas for better or worse tim and eric is VERY '00s.
