The programme, people, not the emotion. Tonight's playlist hits a lot of the spots for a 90s music era guy such as myself - Sex and Candy, Marcys Playground for starters.
Well, for starters after the sublime Today by Smashing Pumpkins. Fave line out of that, for err obvious reasons, is about pink ribbon scars never forgetting, trying the best to cleanse regrets. Yes, I have self esteem issues okay LOL.
Big Me by Foo Fighters, No Rain by Blind Melon - ahh, those were the days. Or at least those were the days that did not involve Metallica or Rage Against The Machine or Chili Peppers or, err, Bob Marley. The cream of the alternate crop brought to you in a yearly dosage called Triple J's Hottest, because, being in New Zealand at the time, we didn't have direct access to the radio station ourselves.
That's what they should have on Rage, so I don't have all these fake memories of listening to 'alternate' bands in the early nineties, a Metallica and Sepultura and Pantera night LOL. And me with a hipflask of bourbon, a keg of beer, and some actual friends around. Wouldn't it be nice...
