That's just a great soundtrack all around. Great movie too.

 One more thing.  The Goo Goo Dolls do a cover of the only good INXS song
 ever"Don't Change."  I like it a lot.  This is from when the Goo Goo
 Dolls were doing the cool Replacements thing and not the thirtysomething
 acoustic open tuned power ballads on VH-1.

What a great, great song. Hell, INXS were a great band until they 
turned into rock stars. Now the Goo Goo Dolls...you're just wrong, 
Steve. They always sucked, always will. One of lamest concert 
moments I ever saw: GGD opened for, I think, the 'Mats, and some 
kid up front was yelling "you suck, bring on the 'Mats," etc. GGD 
bassist asks them to turn up the house lights so he can identify 
said punk, vows he's going to jump off stage and kick his ass as 
soon as the set ends. He didn't.

That'd be Robby, who looks like a cross between 
Meatloaf and Cousin Itt.  Thought it was cool that 
they kept the split songwriting/singing going with 
the new one, when you KNOW everyone's told them 
to let John take sole control of the reins.

Chris
np: Varnaline, Man of Sin - "No Decision No
Disciple" is a fine song.  Don't miss them with 
Sparklehorse, if you get the chance.

I always thought he looked like Kevn Kinney's fat older brother.

Hey there,

Dave...
Now the Goo Goo Dolls...you're just wrong, Steve. They always sucked,
always will.

Superstar Carwash is a fine garage rock album - with no lame ballads. And
their first self titled one is endearing in a punk kinda way. And a
little frigthening if you compare it to their last one, or at list the
AOR single from it.

Later...
CK

Ace Ventura....huh?

1999-04-06 Thread Steve Gardner

Check this out.  We were digging through some shit here at the office
and someone found two CDs.  One is something lame, but the other is the
Ace Ventura soundtrack.  Don't laugh!  It's actually kinda neat.  No, it
isn't worth plunking $15 down on, but it *is* worth a listen. Why?  Well
let me tell you.  Why am I talking like this?  I don't know!

The Reverend Horton Heat does a version of Guadalcanal Diary's "Watusi
Rodeo."  Holy moly!  It's great!  

Also, Blues Traveler does a version of "Secret Agent Man."  Sure they
suck, but that's one of my favorite songs and even they couldn't ruin
it.  The song prevails!  (note: the best version of the song EVER done
was by the Plugz on the Repo Man soundtrack. "El Hombre Secreto" I think
was the name of it.  All sung in Spanish)  (also note: the song is 2:16
long...the shortest blues traveler song ever???)

There's also a reggae version of "Spirits in the Material World" by Pato
Banton.  Lame.  If it were *ME* I would update the song a little by
singing it to the theme of Madonna's "Material Girl."  THEN and only
then would the soundtrack be worth buying at full price!

One more thing.  The Goo Goo Dolls do a cover of the only good INXS song
ever"Don't Change."  I like it a lot.  This is from when the Goo Goo
Dolls were doing the cool Replacements thing and not the thirtysomething
acoustic open tuned power ballads on VH-1.

Welp, back to work.
