“Cum on Feel the Noize” by Quiet Riot
Sometimes I just like a dumb song.
Okay. Your Ford truck is not a Harley. It’s a Ford F150 with Harley Davidson logos all over it. Your truck can’t be a Harley, okay Chief? Don’t cry about now. I had a matchbook on the rear tire of my BMX bike when I was a kid. The friction from the tire and matchbook would make a noise like a motorcycle. If you could pretend it was just like riding a motorcycle but it wasn’t just like your truck that you think is a Harley.

“September” by Cranes
Try as I might, I just can’t seem to get anyone to jump on the Cranes bandwagon with me. And that’s a damn shame, because the British shoegaze band churned out a whole mess of stellar pop during their early/mid 90’s heyday. Most complaints are generally lodged against the vocal stylings of Alison Shaw, a kind of childlike, high-pitched coo. I’ll admit, it’s a lot to take in at first. But repeated listening yields great reward. She sounds like no one else. Her voice fascinates me.
Something I don’t really see much of anymore are compilation tribute albums, those sonic testaments of inspiration and capital assembled together from a who’s who of whatever the kids are listening to and assorted old stalwarts to craft a quick and profitable loving homage to one of our respected audio forebears. I don’t mean to sound snarky. I’m not too good for these cash ins, as my old CD collection is proof to, but it seems like they used to be all over the place, lauding such artists as Depeche Mode, or Joy Division, or Led Zeppelin, or The Carpenters, but have now faded into relative obscurity with so much other 90’s detritus.
