The '90s

   T and I have a friend who is very much a child of the '80s. I decided it was my duty to make him a '90s mix. It's missing some staples such as "No Rain" by Blind Melon, but otherwise I think it's pretty good:

B's (Mostly) '90s Mix

Alive-- Pearl Jam
Ascemen-- Heavens to Betsy
Eau d'Bedroom Dancing-- Le Tigre
Everyday is a Winding Road-- Sheryl Crow
Flying Dutchman-- Tori Amos
Good Morning, Captain-- Slint
I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone-- Sleater-Kinney
Not a Pretty Girl-- Ani Difranco
Olga's Birthday-- Rose Polenzani
Ooh La La-- The Faces (this song is actually from 1973 but it was on the Rushmore soundtrack in 1998. Since the '90s were so much about retro, I think this is fitting, but, to be honest, I assumed they were a '90s band until I looked them up on allmusic.com. I don't know why I assumed that, considering "Oh, Yoko" is on the soundtrack...)
Over the Edge-- Hole
Pennyroyal Tea-- Nirvana
Polyester Bride-- Liz Phair
Blue Skies (Radio Edit)-- BT Featuring Tori Amos
Shining Road-- Cranes
That Was My Veil-- PJ Harvey
There's More to Life Than This-- Bjork
Wargasm-- L7
Zero-- Smashing Pumpkins
100%-- Sonic Youth

In the spirit of '90s nostalgia, here's the video to "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana. Obviously, this video doesn't fall under this site's copyright pertaining to original material. Anyway, it's one of my all-time favorite music videos, and in his biography of Kurt Cobain, Heavier Than Heaven, Charles R. Cross was right to call the video great art. Enjoy!
