Episode 31: Mar 14, 1998 pt. 1
On this episode of Nineteen Ninety What, we are back to basics! The year in question is 1998, and we are looking at the Alternative Songs Chart. And, yeah. There are a lot of forgotten one "hit" wonders tonight. But before we get to those, the sorting hat has it's way with us.
We pull two movies and one video game from '98. Small Soldiers and Half Baked are 2 very different movies, and we talk about the things that made them great. Also, we vaguely remember Metal Gear Solid. They can't all be winners, and at least this proves that we don't pad the sorting hat, right? Right?!?
When we get to the chart, We do hear from some familiar voices, like Oasis, Pearl Jam and Bush, but there are also a ton of no-name artists that we've never heard from before and will probably never hear again: Big Wreck, Finley Quaye, Huffamoose, God Lives Underwater, and Cornershop. Plus we get to talk about the ska and swing revivals that brought horns to 1998 in a big way.
All that Shimmers in this world is sure to fade away again.
