.....You and me song

The Wannadies were an alternative rock band formed in 1988 in Skellefteå, northern Sweden. The band's initial line-up featured Pär Wiksten (vocals, guitars), Christina Bergmark (born 1 March 1963) (keyboards, vocals), Stefan Schönfeldt (born 5 June 1965) (guitars) and his younger brother Fredrik Schönfeldt (bass) with Gunnar Karlsson (drums) and Björn Malmquist (violin). Early influences included The Go-Betweens, The Sisters of Mercy, John Lennon, The Pixies and The Clash.

"You and me song" originally released as a single in 1994, it became the group's biggest UK hit two years later when it reached number 18 in the singles chart in April 1996. Appearing on the band's third album, Be a Girl, the song was also included on their next album, Bagsy me, due to the success of the re-released single and the song's appearance on the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.

The Wannadies are one of those quirky bands that everyone has heard of but can't quite place what song they know. 'You and me song' was the biggest hit of their career and slotted into the music mind of one and all through the latter half of the 1990s.

Matthew Sweet - Sick of myself

Sidney Matthew Sweet (born October 6, 1964, in Lincoln, Nebraska) is an American alternative rock/power pop musician. He was part of the burgeoning Athens, Georgia music scene in the early and mid-1980s before gaining commercial success during the early 1990s. He continues to release albums and tour. In 1995, Sweet released "100% Fun." The album mixed bouncy pop style with darker lyrics, including a leadoff track, the self-deprecating "Sick of myself." This is the stuff that power pop dreams are made of and it’s never sounded so good...

You don't know.. how you move me
Deconstruct me.. and consume me
I'm all used up.. I'm out of luck.. I am starstruck
By something in your eyes.. that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you..
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
I'll take or leave.. the room to breathe
The choice to leave you.. I'll throw away
A chance at greatness.. Just to make this..
Dream come into play.. I don't know if I'll find a way
'Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you..
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
There's something in your eyes.. that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you..
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know..

Radiohead

Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar, synthesizers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). The band released their debut album, Pablo Honey, in February 1993. It stalled at number 22 in the UK charts, as "Creep" and its anthemic follow-up singles "Anyone can play guitar" and "Stop whispering" failed to become radio or video hits. "Pop is Dead", a non-album single later disavowed by the band, sold equally poorly. Some critics compared the band's early style to the wave of grunge music popular in the early 1990s—to the extent of Radiohead being dubbed "Nirvana-lite"—yet Pablo Honey failed to make either a critical or a commercial splash upon its initial release. Despite shared influences with popular guitar-heavy acts, and some notice for Yorke's falsetto voice, the band toured only British universities and clubs.

"Anyone can play guitar" was a single taken from Radiohead's first album Pablo Honey, released just in advance of the album. It was the band's second single, and their first to receive a wide hearing ("Creep" had been issued in limited quantities some months earlier, and had failed to chart, but would soon become a hit and ultimately be re-released later in 1993). "Anyone Can Play Guitar" made relatively little impression on the charts, but it remained a staple of the band's live sets throughout the early-mid nineties.

Radiohead released The Bends in March 1995. The album was driven by dense riffs and ethereal atmospheres from the band's three guitarists, with greater use of keyboards than their debut. It also received stronger reviews for both songwriting and performances. While Radiohead were seen as outsiders to the Britpop scene that dominated the media's attention at the time, they were finally successful in their home country with The Bends, as singles "Fake plastic trees", "High and Dry", "Just", and "Street spirit (Fade out)" made their way to UK chart success; the latter song placed Radiohead in the top five for the first time. In 1995.

High and Dry : (Download)

Two music videos were created for "High and Dry", one produced for the American market and another for Britain. The first version, directed by Paul Cunningham, stars the band in a diner, where other patrons are involved in dramas of their own, which are revealed through the use of flashbacks. A couple and the diner's cook are involved in an unspecified crime. A businessman is hiding something in his briefcase. In the end, the two dramas are resolved when the guilty parties are betrayed, the cook gives the couple a time bomb and the businessman is ambushed and killed (though the murder is only suggested). The British version of the video is in black and white, directed by David Mould. It shows the band performing in a desert setting amidst trucks and filming equipment. By the end of the video, it rains on the band, but they continue playing. This was actually the first version of the video produced, but the band expressed dissatisfaction with it, leading to the other video. Only the US version appears on the band's 1998 video compilation 7 Television Commercials, and both the UK and US versions appear on the Radiohead: The Best Of DVD released in 2008 by EMI.

Stop whispering : (Download)

"Stop whispering" is a single from British alternative rock band Radiohead, released as the band's fourth single in 1993. It is the fourth track off their first album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead have not performed the song live since the mid 1990s. The song was written as a tribute to the Pixies, a band that had an important influence over Radiohead at the time. "Stop whispering" is also one of Radiohead's oldest songs; it was created when the band was still known as On A Friday (1985–1991), originally being on Dungeon Demo. The promotional video, directed by Jeffery Plansker, features Thom Yorke in a very out-of-character style, with blond, shoulder-length hair and wearing a white suit. Since then he has favoured darker clothing and short hair.

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

Stone Temple Pilots, often abbreviated to STP, is an American rock band consisting of Scott Weiland (lead vocals), brothers Robert (bass guitar, vocals) and Dean DeLeo (guitar), and Eric Kretz (drums, percussion). The band found immediate success with the release of their debut album "Core" in 1992, which was certified 8× platinum by the RIAA. Throughout their career, Stone Temple Pilots became one of the most popular rock bands of the 1990s, but were plagued with problems stemming from Weiland's drug addiction and run-ins with the law.

Since the moment they appeared on the scene in the early 90's, Stone Temple Pilots dominated the decade from start to finish, racking up 15 singles on the Billboard Top Ten, winning a "Best Hard Rock Performance" Grammy in 1994 for for "Plush," and having their five albums sell more than 35 million copies worldwide. Of all their peers, STP alone had sustained commercial success, earning greater critical acclaim with each release. The award-winning music video, directed by Josh Taft, was released in 1993 and had heavy rotation on MTV. It combines a visual interpretation of the song's lyrics with footage of a red-haired Weiland singing with the band as a lounge act in an empty bar. There are two different versions of this video, with minor but very noticeable differences. For example, in the version that appears on the Thank You Bonus DVD, the last shot of the video is a woman looking at a mirror image of herself and viewing her whole body while the mirror image drifts away. In another version, she's looking at a mirror image of her face, with water (possibly rain) dripping down the reflection. The song's chord structure was inspired by DeLeo's love of ragtime music, and its lyrics were loosely based on a newspaper article Weiland had read about a girl who had been found dead in an area outside of San Diego. Weiland has also said that the song's lyrics are a metaphor for a failed relationship.

Smashing Pumpkins again....

Smashing Pumpkins are an American alternative rock band that formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1988. Formed by Billy Corgan (vocals/guitar) and James Iha (guitar / backing vocals), the band has included D'arcy Wretzky (bass guitar / backing vocals), Jimmy Chamberlin (drums/percussion), and Melissa Auf der Maur (bass guitar) among its membership. their either song "Cherub Rock" is a song by the American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It was the first single from their second album, Siamese Dream, and was written by lead vocalist/guitarist Billy Corgan. It was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal at the Grammy Awards of 1994, their first Grammy nomination along with a Best Alternative Music Performance nomination for "Siamese Dream".

Cherub Rock (Download)

"Cherub Rock" was one of the last songs written for the album, and the lyrics relate to Corgan's relationship with his perception of the indie-rock community and larger media. The song was performed in standard tuning with a G sharp octave played at the 11th fret, which the band used on other songs, such as "Drown", Tristessa, and "Starla". The prominent effect on the solo was achieved by recording the guitar solo to two different tapes which were then run simultaneously, with the speed of one tape slightly altered. The video features footage of the band performing the song live in a forest setting. It was shot outside San Francisco entirely on Super8 film at a very modest budget. The director, Kevin Kerslake, employed various destructive techniques when developing the film to give the video a broken and dirty look. Corgan was reportedly extremely unhappy with the shooting experience, and the band never worked with Kerslake again.

Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy

Gin Blossoms is an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona. Members during the band's early years included guitarist and songwriter Doug Hopkins, bassist Bill Leen, vocalist Robin Wilson, guitarist Richard Taylor, drummer Chris McCann, McCann's replacement Dan Henzerling, and Taylor's replacement Jesse Valenzuela. They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption "W.C. Fields with gin blossoms," referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. During their early years, the Gin Blossoms became well-known locally around their hometown of Tempe, Arizona. With the band's frequent touring and resulting increase in popularity, the Blossoms also independently recorded their first full-length album, Dusted. By the early 1990s, the lineup had changed to Leen on bass, Hopkins on guitar, Valenzuela on guitar and vocals, Wilson on vocals and acoustic guitar, and Phillip Rhodes on drums. After being signed with A&M Records, the band began to work on their debut album. Initial attempts to create a major-label record faltered and the band released an EP, Up and Crumbling, instead.

Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy

Reflecting on the unpleasant new experience of life in a band under a major record label, Gin Blossoms named their first full-length studio album "New Miserable Experience". In February 1992, while still working to complete it, founding member and lead guitarist/songwriter Doug Hopkins drank heavily and grew increasingly stubborn and disillusioned with the process. The album was completed and the first single released from it was Hopkins' song "Hey Jealousy". It would reach #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks, largely fuelling the success of New Miserable Experience. However, When the band recorded its debut album New Miserable Experience in February 1992, it was reported that Hopkins was unable to stand during his recording sessions. Faced with the prospect of firing Hopkins or being dropped by A&M, the band terminated Hopkins. Doused in aftershave and mouthwash to cover the effects of his days-long drinking binge, he was flown back to Arizona. He was replaced by Scott Johnson. As a result, the band withheld $15,000 owed to Hopkins until he agreed to sign over half of his publishing royalties. The following year, another song penned by Hopkin's, "Found Out About You", would also reach #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climb to #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. As the Gin Blossoms experienced mounting success, performing songs he had written, Hopkins became increasingly despondent. Though he had always dreamed of having a gold record, when he received one for the song "Hey Jealousy", he hung it up for two weeks before taking it down and then destroying it. Nine days later, during an intake consultation in the detox unit of Phoenix's St. Luke's Hospital, Hopkins sneaked out and bought a .38 caliber pistol. The next day, December 4, 1993 Hopkins committed suicide. At his memorial service, Wilson recalls, a woman approached his former band members with a message from Hopkins upon his death: he was the one who had poured sugar in the gas tank of their tour van in 1992.

Sonic Youth... a Tribute of....

Sonic Youth is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1981. The current lineup consists of Thurston Moore (vocals and guitar), Kim Gordon (vocals, bass, guitar), Lee Ranaldo (vocals and guitar), Mark Ibold (bass) and Steve Shelley (drums). In their early career, Sonic Youth was associated with the No Wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound. As a result, some consider Sonic Youth as pivotal in the rise of the alternative rock movement.

Sonic Youth's history began when guitarist Thurston Moore moved to New York City in early 1976. Interested in punk, Moore joined the Coachmen, a guitar-based quartet, after arriving in the city. Lee Ranaldo, an art student at Binghamton University, became a fan of the Coachmen, and he and Moore were soon friends. Ranaldo was a member of Glenn Branca's electric guitar ensemble, touring throughout the United States and Europe. After the breakup of the Coachmen, Moore began jamming with Stanton Miranda, whose band, CKM, featured local artist Kim Gordon. Moore soon renamed the band "Sonic Youth". The name came from combining the nickname of MC5's Fred "Sonic" Smith with the trend of reggae artists, such as Big Youth, featuring the word "Youth" in their names. Gordon later recalled that "as soon as Thurston came up with the name Sonic Youth, a certain sound that was more of what we wanted to do came about.

The 1988 double LP Daydream Nation was a critical success that earned Sonic Youth substantial acclaim. The album came in second on the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll and topped the year-end album lists of the NME, CMJ, and Melody Maker. In 2006, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. The lead single from the album, "Teenage Riot", was the first song from the band to reach significant success, receiving heavy airplay in modern and college rock stations. A number of prominent music periodicals including Rolling Stone hailed Daydream Nation as one of the best albums of the decade and named Sonic Youth as the "Hot Band" in its "Hot" issue. Unfortunately, distribution problems arose and Daydream Nation was often difficult to find in stores. Moore considered Enigma a "cheap-jack Mafioso outfit" and the band began looking for a major label deal.

In 1992, the band released "Dirty" on the DGC label. Their influence as tastemakers continued with their discovery of acclaimed skateboard video director Spike Jonze, who they recruited for the video for "100%", which also featured skateboarder turned actor Jason Lee. This song, along with the Gordon tune "JC" contain lyrical references to the murder of Joe Cole, a friend who worked with the band as a roadie. The album features artwork by Los Angeles-based artist Mike Kelley. In addition, Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise opened on numerous occasions for Sonic Youth in the late 90s. "Dirty" features a guest appearance by Ian McKaye (Minor Threat and Fugazi) playing guitar on the track "Youth Against Fascism".

In 1994 the band released Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, their best charting release in the United States, which peaked at #34 on the Billboard 200. The album was filled with low-key melodies and even produced a hit single, "Bull in the Heather". Moore and Gordon's daughter, Coco Hayley Gordon Moore was born earlier in the year, and many of the songs from the album were never played live because there was never a full tour to support the album due to Gordon's pregnancy. The song was named after a racehorse from a bumper sticker given to Thurston and Kim from Bob Nastanovich of Pavement. In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Bull in the Heather" at number 48 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever. The song starts with a sound which is very recognizable in the music of Sonic Youth, by striking a tailed bridge guitar, in this case a Fender Jazzmaster, behind the bridge.

Bull in the Heather (Download)

The music video features former Bikini Kill and Le Tigre singer Kathleen Hanna dancing, throwing Thurston Moore about by his guitar and kissing Kim Gordon, while wearing speedos over her tights. During filming, Hanna gave Thurston a bloodied lip. The video is directed by Tamra Davis. The scenes of the guitarists jumping around on a bed were recreated from a photo Kim Gordon gave to Davis of Thurston when he was younger. In the video, Kim Gordon is five months pregnant.

From Sonic Youth's earliest days, Kim Gordon had occasionally played guitar with the group. About the time of A Thousand Leaves and Washing Machine she began playing guitar more frequently, resulting in a three-guitar and drums lineup. These songs were something of a shift for the group's sound, and would lead to the introduction of a fifth member a few years later. the group announced on their website that ex-Pavement member Mark Ibold would play bass for the band on their upcoming tour.

Celebrating twenty-five years of musical excellence, New York indie heroes Sonic Youth are aging well. Not in a rush to reinvent, Sonic Youth return with a sound similar to 2004's Sonic Nurse. Perhaps not the most inventive or awe-inspiring album in the band's catalog, "Rather Ripped" is a delightfully solid album which was released on June 13, 2006, with some stellar sonic landscapes within. Opening with the Gordon delivered atmospheric and oddly uplifting "Reena", Sonic Youth kick start the album in fine fashion. Moore and Renaldo's winding guitars shimmy around each other playfully as Shelley's driving beat pushes Gordon's seductive vocals. Shifting between gorgeous melodies and hazardous weaving, the guitars on the song are just what fans have come to expect from the band.

Reena (Download)

A funky bass line and mind-bending distortion drive Renaldo's eerie "Rats". Perfectly creepy and off-kilter, Renaldo's tale of betrayal is startling. Placed back-to-back, Moore's "Incinerate" and "Do You Believe In Rapture" are the best of the bunch. The most ear-catching song from Sonic Youth in quite a while, "Incinerate" is brilliant. The striking melodic guitar interplay, frantic beat, and engaging hook make "Incinerate" one of the best songs of the year. Moore gruffly scoffs, "You douse my soul with gasoline / you flicked a match into my brain", describing a relationship gone sour. In stark contrast to the frantic pace of "Incinerate", a slowly thumping beat marches deep in the background of the religious "Rapture". An atmospheric treasure, the sparse song questions the end of days; lingering long after it has ended.

Ripped succeeds in large part because of the signature Sonic Youth guitar interplay and inspired distortion laden compositions. Although not a large step either forward or backwards for the band, more of the same from a pioneering band like Sonic Youth is certainly not a negative.

Sugar Kane (Download)

"Sugar Kane" was the third single from Sonic Youth's 1992 album Dirty. It was released in 1993 on DGC. The music video for Sugar Kane was directed by Nick Egan. The video is shot in New York City and portrays Sonic Youth performing in the midst of a fashion show showcasing "grunge" clothing. The clothing, in fact, is one of the collections done by Marc Jacobs, "Grunge Collection", for Perry Ellis in 1992. Marc is also a close friend to Kim Gordon and the band. The video also marks the first film appearance of Chloe Sevigny. The title may be connected to the Marilyn Monroe character 'Sugar' Kane Kowalczyk in some like it Hot.

Liz Phair... Queen of Indie-rock

Elizabeth Clark "Liz" Phair (born April 17, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Phair began her career in the early 1990's by self-releasing lo-fi audio cassettes under the moniker Girly Sound, before signing with Matador Records and becoming one of the leading artists of the 1990s DIY indie rock underground. In 2003, Phair's fourth album, Liz Phair, was released on her new label, Capitol Records and her music began to move in a more pop rock-oriented approach which resulted in a fan and media backlash. Her signature guitar, which she is often seen playing (and is prominent upon the cover of her self-titled fourth album), is a Fender Duo-Sonic II. Her album Exile in Guyville was chosen as one of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Phair was born in New Haven, Connecticut, but was raised in Winnetka, Illinois by wealthy adoptive parents. She graduated from New Trier High School in 1985. During high school, Phair was involved in student government, yearbook, and the cross country team, and took AP Studio Art her senior year among many other advanced-level classes. She attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, and majored in art history. Phair's entry into the music industry began when she met guitarist Chris Brokaw, a member of the band Come. Brokaw and Phair moved to San Francisco together, and Phair tried to become an artist there. After moving back to Chicago, Phair began writing songs and recording homemade tapes under the name Girly Sound, and supported herself by selling her charcoal drawings on the streets of Wicker Park. She became part of the alternative music scene in Chicago and became friends with Material Issue and Urge Overkill, two of Chicago's upstart bands to go national in the early 1990s, as well as Brad Wood and John Henderson, head of Feel Good All Over, an independent label in Chicago. (A later attempt at re-recording the Girly Sound tapes failed after arguments between Henderson and Phair.)

Hoping to capitalize on the acclaim for her debut album, the release of Phair's second album received substantial media attention and an advertising blitz. Whip-Smart debuted at #27 in 1994 and "Supernova", the first single, became a Top Ten modern rock hit, and the video was frequently featured on MTV. Phair also landed the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine with the headline "A Rock Star is Born." Nonetheless, the album received mixed reviews, and although it was certified Gold. Phair's third album, entitled "whitechocolatespaceegg", was finally released in 1998 after some delays, which included a disagreement about content; at one point, the label rejected the album as submitted, and asked Phair to write a few additional radio-friendly songs for the set. The album displayed a more mature Phair, and reflected some of the ways marriage and motherhood affected her. The single "Polyester Bride" received some airplay, but the album was no more successful than her previous records. To promote the record Phair joined the now legendary Lilith Fair. Phair performed on the main stage along with acts like Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow and Missy Elliott.

In 2003, her self-titled fourth album was released on her new label, Capitol Records, Phair had not released an album in several years; she had been working on her record, as well as making guest appearances on other tracks, The debut single "Why Can't I?", co-written by The Matrix, did reach the Top 40 charts in North America, and its follow-up, "Extraordinary," was also somewhat successful: it appeared on the soundtrack to the 2004 movie Raising Helen and was the promotional theme for the 2004 Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament; in March 2007, the song began appearing in Gatorade television advertisements. Phair continued to flirt with sexually explicit themes, however, as was most evident in a track called "H.W.C.", standing for "Hot White Cum".

Somebody's Miracle is the fifth album by Liz Phair, released on October 4, 2005 (see 2005 in music) on Capitol Records. From September 2004 through April 2005, she composed fourteen tracks spanning from lo-fi guitar-driven to high-gloss produced tracks. Much like her debut album, Exile in Guyville, Somebody's Miracle was originally modeled after another canonical album, "Songs in the key of Life" by Stevie Wonder, though only elements of this exist in the final product. The first single, "Everything to me" was released to radio on August 1, 2005. At an estimated 84,000 copies, Somebody's Miracle remains Phair's lowest selling LP to date. The album features a softer side of Phair, with themes of innocence, loss, and love. Many critics and fans accused Phair of having lost her edge. Phair responded to backlash by saying, "If you are an old fan and it doesn't fit what you need, don't buy the disc." Prior to the album's release, Phair embarked on a short acoustic tour where she played in smaller venues, bars, and clubs. After the album's release, she and her band went on a more extensive tour playing at larger venues...

Come on feel The Lemonheads...

Evan Dando, Ben Deily and Jesse Peretz formed the Lemonheads as teenagers at the Commonwealth School in Boston around 1986. The and was originally called the Whelps until inspiration came from a brand of candy, which Dando noted was "sweet on the inside and sour on the outside," possibly a metaphor for the band's sound. The band recorded and self-relesaed the 7" EP "Laughing all the way to the Cleaners".

After high school, Dando enrolled at Skidmore College but couldn't maintain his grades and dropped out to pursue a musical career. Having signed to local label Taang! Records, the Lemonheads released the albums "Hate your friends" (1987), "Creator "(1988), and "Lick" (1989) with Deily and Dando sharing lead vocals and songwriting duties. The band enjoyed a good deal of college radio airplay and were popular in the burgeoning indie rock scene, up until Deily left the band in 1989. Dando then recruited David Ryan on drums, signed to major label Atlantic Records, and produced the album "Lovey" in 1990. Straddling punk rock, country music and heavy metal, Lovey album was released a year before the commercial explosion of grunge and did not sell well by mainstream standards—roughly 30,000 copies. ...

Evan Dando cut his losses and flew to Australia to write some songs with friends Nic Dalton and Tom Morgan.

The Lemonheads' popularity grew in 1992 with the album "it's a Shame about Ray", followed by a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson", which eventually became one of the band's most successful singles. The band officially renamed themselves from "Lemonheads" to "The Lemonheads" prior to the release of the "Come on Feel the Lemonheads" LP. A huge breakthrough single still eluded the band as they released "Come on Feel the Lemonheads" in late 1993. This was a successful album but paved the way for future madness with tracks like "it's about time" and "The Great big no" The band enjoyed modest mainstream success.

Evan Dando famously befriended Oasis and appeared at the band's live shows. The cracks were beginning to show, and after one particularly disjointed interview where Dando (not being able to speak, having lost his voice after smoking crack cocaine) admitted to having a drugs problem. he was no longer viewed as the "Slacker Sex Kitten" of the previous year... and in 1996, Dando re-formed The Lemonheads, featuring old friends John Strohm Murph (ex-Dinosaur Jr), as well as Ken Lyons of 38 Special. This band produced another Lemonheads album, "Car Button Cloth". While featuring jangly guitar songs such as "If I could talk I'd tell you," this set also showed off the darker side of Dando's writing: "Break me" and "Losing your mind" suggested that all was not well with Dando.

On 23 April 2008 at the inaugural NME US Awards ceremony at the El Rey in Los Angeles, Dando received the classic album award for "It's a shame about Ray", The album and its title track was inspired partially from a club owner who called everyone Ray. Band leader Evan Dando later saw the actual line "It's a shame about Ray" in a Sydney newspaper article about something that happened to a child named Ray. "It's a shame about Ray" was a big international hit for the band, as well as a #5 hit on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in America...(from wikipedia)

The Sundays

The Sundays were an English alternative rock group. The band, formed in the mid-1980s, released three albums in the late 1980s and 1990s. Their music is characterised by singer Harriet Wheeler's dreamy voice, David Gavurin's rich and jangly guitar sound, and suspension-rich harmonies.

When The Sundays hit the British indie scene in the summer of 1989, they were heralded by the press as the next Smiths. While they didn't share The Smiths' ambitions of world domination, they certainly proved to be one of the most original and innovative bands of the 90's and they quickly became indie heroes. Their sound is airy, ethereal, driven by shimmering melodies and jangling guitar atmospheres. Harriet Wheeler's high-flying sorprano is loose, boundless and beautiful, and her husband David Gavurin's gleaming guitar work boasts a similar soaring feel, free to glide across the songs' laid-back energy. Their presence has been completely personal and unconcerned with passing trends and fads in the highly flakey UK music market. This reflects in their rather sparse album output, as they've released a total of three full-length records since their 1988 formation. Yet their international fanbase remains unfettered, as they've managed to win a place in the heart of nearly every thinking music fan and their influence is well aparent in ethereal-tinted acts such as The Innocence Mission and Sarah McLachlan.

The Sundays - Summertime

David Gavurin was attending university in London, England in 1988 when he met fellow student Harriet Wheeler. Both sharing a passion for music and a mutual ambition, they became lovers and began rehearsing in David's bedroom with his 4-track. By that summer they'd teamed with the wonderfully tight rhythm section of Paul Brindley (bass guitar) and Patrick Hannah (drums), making their debut in London as The Sundays. They were spotted by a number of writers, who swooned at Wheeler's angelic vocals and Gavurin's Johnny Marr-esque guitar jangle. Word quickly spread and as the year closed a label bidding war commenced, ending with The Sundays' settling on renowed U.K. indie label Rough Trade. The debut single "Can't Be Sure", with its shuffling, almost stuttering beat, mournful guitar echo and free soaring vocal delivery by Wheeler thrilled the press and listeners alike winning The Sundays an instant following. They were praised as The Cocteau Twins meets The Smiths, and certainly this wasn't a faulty comparrison, as the songwriting team of Gavurin/Wheeler resembled a more ethereal take on the Marr/Morrisey unit.

The debut album, "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic" was everything to be hoped for and more, a youthful, energetic collection of downtown London lullabies driven by tights rhythms, loose melodies and a distraught, but never dispairing, self-reflective lyrical outlook. It was released in 1990 along with the single "Here's Where the Story Ends", a cynical tale of love-lost elegantly draped in strumming acoustic guitar. Amidst the endless sea of "trying to be trendy" British market the album and single stood out, and the innovation materialized in major sales, chart success and a lucrative (if sparse) tour. Already The Sundays had won an international following. More recordings couldn't have emerged soon enough.

The Sundays - Here's where the story end

Yet, with Rough Trade's financial troubles and the band's decision to manage themselves, The Sundays' next single, "Goodbye" wouldn't emerge until 1992. It revealed a slightly more intense guitar sound, and an even gloomier atmosphere made whole by Wheeler's still stunning vocals and the band's trademark gleaming overtones. Again, The Sundays were both critical darlings and the delight of indie fans everywhere. The next album, Blind, revealed a more grown-up Sundays, with Wheeler's vocals and Gavurin's guitar more free and soaring than ever. The moods were darker and just as ethereal, certainly Blind is just as essential as its predecessor. A second single emerged in 1993, a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses". Again, the band's touring schedule was sparse, although they were met with nearly salivating fans, starved for new material. Despite the obvious thirst the band dropped out again, and this time they wouldn't be heard from for five years.

The Sundays - Goodbye

Finally, in 1997, The Sundays broke in with their third full length album, Static and Silence and the single "Summertime". Although the record retained the band's trademark jangling guitar and utterly beautiful vocals, it revealed a more traditional folk rock feel (apparently Gavurin and Wheeler had taken a liking to Van Morrison). The melodies were more concise, less free-spirited than in the past which reflected in both Wheeler's vocals and Gavurin's guitar playing, both of which now operated within a more planned, orderly fashion. Mournful crooning gives way to straightforward pop melody, tight guitar/bass/drums approach gives way to string and horn arrangements, ethereal gives way to folk. The Sundays had changed quite a bit,and although the album was fantastic, it wasn't the stunning innovation they'd showcased in the past. Again the band would quickly drop out of the public eye yet The Sundays remain beloved internationally and have found comfortable status as one of the most popular cult bands in the world...

Brainstorm... take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something... this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song... and it goes like

Chorus:
Whoa... Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa... shades of gold displayed naturally...

You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why...

(Chorus 2x)

You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight...

(Chorus)

Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy, still it's fine from afar
And you know that...

Whoa, brainstorm take me away from the norm
Whoa, I got to tell you something...

Velocity Girl... a tribute of...

Velocity Girl was an American indie rock band formed in 1989 in College Park, Maryland, although it was generally known as a Washington, DC-area band. while much 1990s rock music featured an abrasive vocal and instrumental style, Velocity Girl's sound, especially post-1993, was more melodic and typically featured "clean" (non-distorted) electric guitar sounds. the Members are Sarah Shannon, Archie Moore, Kelly Riles, Brian Nelson and Jim Spellman. Velocity Girl toured frequently, releasing three full-length recordings on the Sub Pop label. Music videos were released for "Crazy Town" (1993), "Audrey's Eyes" (1993), and "Sorry Again" (1994).. The group disbanded in late 1996 after playng their last show "The Buzz Bakesale", in West Palm Beach, FL. ended as well. Shannon, Riles and Spellman reunited in a short-lived project called Starry Eyes. moore formed Heartworms, and later The Saturday People with Terry Banks of Tree Fort Angst.

Crazy Town

will say that I might be over
my love pretty little sister
I will give my body to her
I'm walking around this crazy town
I fond the same old faces
this crowd brings me down
and if you think that's just wait
about a few more hours
in my book why be lazy
I've been walking around
through this crazy town
let's just move up on
to my over conscience
money only appeals to lonely dudes..

Sorry Again

it will never happen again
is a promise I just can't keep
all alone on the porch
drifting off to sleep
I change this much this year
but I did it for you my dear
let me stick around
I'll never let you down
well I guess that I was wrong
well I was mistaken all along
it's hard to admit its the end
so I'll say i'm sorry again and again
wanted to change my mind
falling a bit behind
never be the same
refuse to take the blame
well I guess it happened again
if already didn't know
sometimes its hard to believe
we've sunk so low..

Gin Blossoms - Follow you down

Did you see the sky
I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've ever been
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned
Anywhere you go I'll follow you down...

The Breeders - Divine hammer

I'm just looking for
Just looking for a way around
It disappears this near
You're the rod I'm water
I'm just looking for one divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

I'm just looking for one divine hammer
I'd bang it all day
Oh the carpenter goes bang
Bang bang
I'm just looking for one divine hammer

One divine hammer
....divine hammer

I'm just looking for a faith
Waiting to be followed
It disappears this near
You're the rod I'm water
I'm just looking for one divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer
