Earworms for June

On a bit of a 90s kick here. There was this whole period in the mid-90s that had an explosion of music that just hit this sort of zeitgeist, where even the songs that musically differed still had this particular DNA that you can absolutely see in hindsight. And frankly, some of the songs still feel relevant today, musically and lyrically. Anyway, hope you enjoy. (Trying to keep these to 10-12 songs – there were a lot of songs I thought about adding but opted not to.)

Got any favorites from that era that you’d add?

Love your music

Wil Wheaton had a nice post talking about music and discovering the full length album version of In A Gadda Da Vida (all 17 minutes of it) for the first time recently. I can’t share in that particular revelation, as I was already familiar with those epic organ and drum solos – Dad has/had the album and we definitely spent some time enjoying the “back catalog” over the years. Worth a listen if you haven’t, though!

It got me thinking a bit about this fantastic bit from Joe Pera Talks With You:

There’s something great about just earnestly loving a song, and letting yourself get swallowed by it for a while. Also, that even if you think everyone already knows a song or movie or book, there’s still so, so many people who’ve never heard of it before. I don’t watch reaction videos very often, but sometimes it really tickles me to watch reaction videos of someone hearing a song for the first time, when it actually hits them and they’re left saying “Wow, how did I miss this?”

On that note: some recent earworms to infect/enjoy:
