The SciFi Channel is showing the Indiana Jones trilogy all weekend. How could I not watch? (You call those special effects? You can totally see the painted backdrop!) And I couldn't help but put on my critical theory hat during Temple of Doom.
Between the old movies and the '90s station in my grocery store plays, I started thinking about my "formative years." A few hours later I found this Boo Radleys video on YouTube, the internet time machine. The video doesn't really start until the 0:19 mark, so stick with it. My favorite part is the girl sitting atop a mountain of fruit at the 1:30 mark. Ahhh, the randomness. A '90s Britpop/alterna-rock video wouldn't be complete without it!
I had never seen a Boo Radleys video until I found this one on YouTube. Kind of makes me question my younger self's taste in music. I used to drive around in high school with the "Everything's Alright Forever" tape playing on a constant loop.

Well, that was 3 minutes and 42 seconds of my life that I will never get back again! That was just too WEIRD!!

Geeze, Mumma. Don't hold back or anything...

I'm listening to "Everything's Alright Forever" right now on my iPod, and I have to say that the hearing is definitely better than the seeing. These songs take me right back to my long-gone Nissan Pulsar...and when gas was only $0.99 a gallon. (And an aside: There is no cents sign on a keyboard, Mumma!)
