Best Of The 90s
Sorry, no music from me today (surely Vu will add some to the post?) but a heads up for all the UK readers.
Play.com are currently running a Best Of The 90s sale with albums and best-ofs from some of the best bands of the 90s from only £2.99 shipped. $6 in the US might get you a new album, but here we can't even pick up stuff in charity shops for that little so it ain't bad. Anyway...
Choice highlights so far include an Echobelly Best-Of for £2.99, Sleeper Best Of for £4.99, Manics' Everything Must Go £4.99, and my personal favorite, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Best-Of, £2.99. I could go on forever as seriously, every row has a great band on them, so just check out sale for yourself.

Vu's Note: Sadly, I own all these albums you mentioned (plus about 75% of what is on sale at that store). 90s, baby....
Incidentally, in Suede news, singer Brett Anderson will be releasing his second album, Wilderness on July 7th at his concert that costs £30. Surely, you may think this is expensive, but as a way to pad the pain to fans, buying the concert tickets ensures a USB stick with his new album on it.

I have to keep reminding myself every day that a LOT of great stuff came out of the '90s. Too bad that grunge, "ska" that wasn't really ska but shitty punk rock with a slight ska influence, and pop-punk have become so synonymous with the decade that my kneejerk reaction is to dismiss the entire decade as a musical wasteland. There has always been shitty music, no matter what decade you're talking about, but it just seems to me that the 1990s was the crowning decade of unlistenable trash.
Course I LIKE grunge, that could be my fatality.
