I am – StepMUSIC: My So Called Life
Grover is stuck in the 90′s and I guess that’s ok. All people go through a mid-life crisis, it just usually hits around 40 while depressed about your BORING job, BORING wife, BORING time conforming to society….I guess Grover is just going through it a little prematurely, since he’s not even 30 yet, either way this is what he had to say about My So Called Life…..
I posted yesterday about The Lemonheads, which got me to thinking about Juliana Hatfield’s performance in “My So Called Life.” After I sent my email to Jesus, I decided to pop in a VHS that had a few episodes of the show that I had recorded a few years ago. I never really cared for Claire Danes, but I did like that show. Maybe I liked it because of Brian Krakow, the nerdy, curly haired next-door neighbor who reminded me of myself. I started thinking about the memorable songs that made up the shows soundtrack and realized arugably the best music ever recorded appeared on the show.
Here are a few songs that are the result of all the thinking I did (right click – save target as – keep them – until Jesus gets sued)
“Consequence”-The Notwist
(Appeared in Shopgirl which starred Claire Danes)
“Away With The Pixies”-Ben Lee
(This dude dated Claire Danes for a while. This is a song he recorded before he did the whole puberty thing.”
“Everybody’s Stalking”-Badly Drawn Boy
(Appeared in Igby Goes Down, which starred Danes. Awful movie.
“I Shall Be Released”-The Band
(Appeared in Prefontaine which starred Jared Leto)
“I Need You Around”-The Smoking Popes
(From the Clueless soundtrack since Alicia Silverstone was originally considered for the part of Angela Chase)
Bonus: Claire Danes Nude Caps from Shop Girl….
