...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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

agree with this btw. was definitely building throughout the '80s but yeah.

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."

haha well in terms of "never being on the company dime again" i think we can say the state crew won, even if the victory gets a little pyrrhic at times.

One of the things I noticed about T&E videos is that everything seemed so very deliberate, all their "screw-ups" seem very rehearsed, whereas S&O really did seem like "we have a week to make this, so we don't have time for re-writes or second takes". The "Songs of Season 1" disc is still a favorite of mine. I love how they did songs like "Gravy for Baby" which were only like half-thought out and seemed like you were hearing them trying it for the first time.

I wanted to get on these guys for being such shitty directors, but it turns out that they know that movies like "Night at the Museum" are shit and do it anyway because it pays so well
― frogbs, Monday, 1 August 2011 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link
the mtv wiki is filled with wonderful nuggets btw
The fact that at the time rock music fans were less materialists and bought less music based on television suggestion were cited as reasons that MTV abandoned its once staple music.
oh, i see.
