#1990sMusic

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

One of my favorite career trajectories is Colleen Fitzpatrick. She played Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray (1988), graduated from NYU in 1991 with a BA in English, and was then the lead singer of alternative band Eve's Plum in the #1990s (yes, named after actress Eve Plumb). Not being finished yet, her biggest moment in the spotlight was when she had a #popmusic #onehitwonder with "Graduation (Friends Forever)" under the name Vitamin C in 2000 (third single from a 1999 album). That was the song with Pachelbel's Canon in D played by strings in it. She continued to act, and is now a #music executive at Netflix, after being VP of Music at Nickelodeon. Not bad for a one hit wonder most people don't remember today.

In 1990 #BillWard released his first solo album. It’s a weird combo of hard rock meets early PeterGabriel meets “The Wall” Era Pink Floyd. The only hint of #BlackSabbath is that #Ozzy sings on two tracks. I have a soft spot for this, bummer the follow up took so long and wasn’t nearly as good. #NowPlaying #1990sMusic

YouTubeBill Ward - Ward One: Along The Way (1989)

This is #SludgeMetal not #grunge as reviews may tell you.
A a sloth paced, creeping, crushing barrage of noise. Yet memorable songs. Similar in sound to #FudgeTunnel but better IMO. Former #Tad members are in this so a slow metal version of Tad? Again not on streaming or #Bandcamp so you get YouTube. #Willard #1990sMusic #HEavyMetal

“Alright let’s go. We’ve got a date with the underground.” Back to the racket. #SteelPoleBathTub's crowing achievement. Noise, samples, hooks, riffs in all its 90s glory. Not sure who to compare them to but if you dig the noise size of 90s #IndieRock check it. Train to Miami is a favorite. #1990sMusic #NoiseRock
