Alright, this one holds up a little bit better than some of the other tunes I've been playing this week.
Videos
Butthole Surfers – Pepper
i recognize that the butthole surfers have a wide and distinguished catalog (though i must admit to being largely unfamiliar with it). technically though, they are a one hit wonder.

1996
i will also admit to this track being semi-omnipresent during the summer of `96, and that summer being awesome.
Poe – Trigger Happy Jack
Keeping the 90's ladies line going here today.

Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being.
Veruca Salt – Seether
the first show i went to as a semi-sentient musical being (not including that aerosmith show during their get a grip tour [don't say a word]) was hole playing first avenue. in my defense, live through this was a halfway decent album for a 13 year old that had basically worshiped kurt cobain. that said, veruca salt opened for them, and i thought their set kicked ass. my first hipster moment was when this track hit the airwaves after i'd already been digging on this album for awhile.
1995
i've been meaning to dig this out for awhile...
White Town – Your Woman
jobu, just remember, I played Cornershop a couple of months ago.

Better Than Ezra – Good
yeah, we might as well do this...

i hold no particular love for this song, nor the band (or ezra, whomever they are). however, this song takes me back to good times when the radio played this song far more than it deserved, and a night when a younger joe had comp tickets to these guys headlining a first ave show that we went to for no good reason, and the memories of said night that i won't get into.
New Radicals – You Get What You Give
If you listen to this song like you have never heard if before you might not hate it.

Or maybe you still will.
The Toadies – Possum Kingdom
so, no one's paying attention? good. then i'll play one of my favorite OHW's from the 90's:

1995
i never listened to anything else by these guys, but this song was pretty sweet (i loved that half measure they threw in there).
Titus Andronicus – Richard II or Extraordinary Popular Dimension
Their album The Monitor, after a year to reflect, is without question my favorite disc from 2010.

Probably some words that aren't safe for clean ears in this video.
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Black Betty
