Hindu Love Gods "Raspberry Beret"

A Throwback Tuesday post:

Warren Zevon had enlisted 3/4ths of R.E.M. as his backing band for the recording of the album "Sentimental Hygiene."  Somewhere during the recording of the album, the gang turned to recording a series of covers, including this one.

Usually these Throwback posts are tracks I haven't heard in ages, but I actually play this one a couple of times a year on my Live Acoustic And Covers segment, because 20+ years later, it's still fun.

Redd Kross "Lady In The Front Row"

A Throwback Tuesday post:

Aahhh, some 90s Power Pop.  These guys knew what they were doing.

For fans of Fountains Of Wayne . . .

Nine Days "Story Of A Girl"

 A Throwback Tuesday post:

It's probably taken you a good decade to forget this earworm . . . and now I've brought it back.  Enjoy it until 2024!

Sordid Humor "Barbarossa"

A Throwback Tuesday post:

I'm sure there is some kind of rule that states if you're going to post some kind of Throwback song, it should be a tune that people at least vaguely remember. 

I don't think this was much of a hit anywhere, though I did play it a ton on my Alternative show in the mid-90s. 

It lives on as a curiosity, since some of the members of Sordid Humor went on to become Counting Crows, and this particular track features Adam Duritz as a guest back-up vocalist.

XTC "Dear God"

A Throwback Tuesday post:

I know the message is supposed to be serious in the song . . . but I am too distracted by how terrifying it is when small ghostly children sing the words of adult men.

Catherine Wheel "Waydown"

Is throwback Tuesday a thing?  I don't think so.  But I'm trying to do some good throwback songs on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

These Brits had a bunch of great tunes in the 90s.  I never understood why a band that kinda bored me like Bush got popular, over a band like this that seems to have some more depth.
