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.

(note that these transactions involved a 30-minute bike ride each way to the mall in a Maryland summer.)

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

ned i kind of imagine your closet as being to band t-shirts what imelda marcos's was to shoes

You're not far wrong.

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.)

"a very special episode of roseanne...featuring music from prolapse and therapy?"

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.

Whiney, I think I am just ambivalent about turning thirty two at the end of August.You're making it too real.

and oh shit, my parents are getting back in town today, better clean up the house!
Man, would love to see some Sifl and Olly reruns; IMO that was the best of their weird homegrown TV shows
― frogbs, Monday, 1 August 2011 16:17 (thirteen years ago) link
there was a noticeable lack of sifl and olly.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 1 August 2011 16:18 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

this just popped into my fb feed, speaking of

I mean, i think the 90s were defined by this attitude of "lets do something cool and punky and a little arty, since we're lucky to be on the company dime for once and probably never again." It def defined like Spike Jones and Michel Gondry videos, TV shows like Mr. Show and Sifl&Olly, the design of Coop and Kozik, the careers of bands from Melvins up through Smashing Pumpkins.
The 00s are defined by entitled kids growing up with the EXPECTATION of their art validated by corporations, which is why Cool Kids will bend over backwards to have an Mountain Dew logo on their album cover, or Tim & Eric can make a whole show without any jokes.
In a way, Louis CK's new show is very 90s.

hoos, i was a huuuuuge rap nerd from 88 to 92. When I started getting my teenage identity-crisis growing pains in the wake of the Chronic, I felt like a music about inner city tribulations and smoking endo and whatever just wasn't being made FOR me. I didn't relate anymore. I needed Ministry and Faith No More or whatever
For a short while, I became a rockist (an alt-rockist, tbh) and by like age 15 or whatever, getting a CD of a bunch of dudes sitting around a microphone going "Yo Meth where my Killa Tape at God?" (what?!) just sounded like lazy, retarded, stupid bullshit to me.
Obviously, I changed my tune about a year later.

soto, we could probably have a whole thread of 90s "lets do something cool and punky and a little arty, since we're lucky to be on the company dime for once and probably never again."
