Throwback Thursday: Semisonic – Secret Smile
I feel that Semisonic are an underrated band, which is a shame because they have some great songs. Again, though, I feel I didn’t appreciate Semisonic when I was younger, I’m not sure why this is. It may be because I didn’t think it was cool to like certain bands, whereas today I don’t really care what other people think of my musical tastes. Good job I’ve grown up, really.
Enough of my Jibba Jabba! Secret Smile got to number 13 back in 1999, which I’m surprised about because I thought it was older. There goes my sense of time…
Throwback Thursday: Garbage – Stupid Girl
There were a couple of Garbage songs I could have chosen, but I decided to go with the one I liked the most and avoid any outside influences. Garbage were probably one of my favourite bands during the late 90s; my interest has dwindled since, but I still like the older songs. I think I use to quite fancy Shirley Manson, too. There’s still something about her, not sure what, hmm…
Anyhow, ‘Stupid Girl’ got to number 4 way back in 1996, I would have been 14 years old then, god… I can’t believe that is over ten years ago.
