As I wade through the list of things to do today at work, I am comforted only by a new playlist I've made for Clifford. I wanted to remind myself how easy life used to be. What better way to do so than create a playlist of songs I remember from middle school. Here's the list:
Superdrag - "Sucked Out"
Cornershop - "Brimful of Asha"
Bush - "Swallowed"
Silverchair - "Tomorrow"
Toadies - "Possum Kingdom"
Filter - "Hey Man, Nice Shot"
System of a Down - "Spiders"
Candlebox - "Far Behind"
Orgy - "Blue Monday"
Monster Magnet - "Space Lord"
Radiohead - "High and Dry"
Butthole Surfers - "Pepper"
Stabbing Westward - "Save Yourself"
Local H - "Bound for the Floor"
Alice in Chains - "Rooster"
Soundgarden - "Burden In My Hand"
Smashing Pumpkins - "Bullet with Butterfly Wings"
Nine Inch Nails - "The Perfect Drug"
Pearl Jam - "Evenflow"
Rage Against the Machine - "Bulls on Parade"
The Deftones - "Change (in the House of Flies)"
All in all, I'm pretty pleased with the list. Of course, there could be additions. If there are any songs that remind you of this era gone by, let me know. One that I've left off was the first song I ever heard by Fountains of Wayne, "Radiation Vibe." I love that Fountains of Wayne won the best new artist award at the MTV music awards in 2003, 7 years after they released their first album with "Radiation Vibe." Oh, MTV. You've single-handedly helped and ruined popular music. Well done.

That song that goes, "I smell sex and candy."
Oh, oh! And "I'm the one, natural one, take it easy. We can take it inside. I can have it cause I act like I love it. Whatever keeps me high."
I think he’s referring to Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground and Natural One by Folk Implosion. I saw Local H live at the Caboose once, it was good times. Best 2 piece band ever!
