Fountains Of Wayne "Valley Winter Song"

Here's another Weekend Post:

Another song for all the snow . . . This one isn't actually from the 90s, but it's over 10 years old, so it feels like a throwback.

It makes me all kinds of melancholy, as it references Western Massachusetts (where I went to college) and The Bay State, where my friend Teri would sometimes play.


Hear the song on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show.  They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are fun to revisit.

Semisonic "Chemistry"

Here's another Weekend Post:
After yesterday's horror, it's good to return to the more understated late 90s/2000s, where stripes and glasses and choker-things were the wild accessories.

"All About Chemistry" ended up being Semisonic's final record, which was disappointing, because I think, like Fountains Of Wayne, there was a breakthrough hit somewhere in their future, that would have opened up an audience to a treasure trove of great catalogue songs.
