Feeling particularly nostalgic tonight. Some favorites of all time... Jellyfish Bellybutton was the best album, but more people are familiar with Spilt Milk. This song is from the Bellybutton album. Never saw them live, but they are from my "summertime swimming pool soundtrack" of my high school years, which means they probably sound better to me than they ever will to anyone else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgdgptaBma8 Jump Little Children They had regional fame, doubt they made it to Portland. The lead singer's voice is fracking awesome and totally makes the band what it is. Saw these guys live in a small venue up the street in Atlanta and it was one of the best shows I have ever attended to date. They were big in the 90s in Atlanta, but didn't make it much farther than that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt-2Y2fV6gU Citizen Cope Found this dude when I was living in San Diego. Personally, it's kinda my West Coast Soundtrack. I saw him live in SD and also in Atlanta about 3 years ago. He's still touring AFAIK, and very soulful and great music. I should seek out another tour date if he's still playing venues. Slower stuff and some can be depressing but really have alot of emotion to his music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8cMy-Jmoso Kevn Kinney Kevn was the lead singer for a band called Drivin n Cryin, which was a big time southern band when I was in high school, but didn't make it too far beyond the south AFAIK. They still regularly play shows in the Atlanta area, particularly festivals. They often toured with Peter Buck (of REM). I was looking for the YouTube version of "The House Above Tina's Grocery", which is one of my favorite songs of his, but all I could find was this live performance (Tina's Grocery starts at about the 3:20 mark). I don't expect too many people to love this one, but it has an unshakable place in my heart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jh4LlQ_qrc XTC During my formative years, the song "Dear God" was one of the most amazing songs I'd ever heard. Church was something that was fairly routine thing in my family and I didn't enjoy it at all, aside from the social aspects of "youth group". This song so perfectly summed up my feelings about religeon at the time that I could hardly stand it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk41Gbjljfo The Stone Roses I have probably listened to the song Fools Gold more than any song ever. This is an album I could play over and over, but particularly Fools Gold (and Elephant Stone) were some of the best music I could have ever imagined at the time. They came out with a second album that was bigger on the radio (called Second Coming), but the first was far better IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4bHMVAKDao Others - Camper Van Bethoven - Pixies ...too many to mention -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:339622 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
