chambre 12, hôtel de suède (claude ventura and xavier villetard, 1993)
a fistful of dollars (sergio leone, 1964)

music friday: 1990

Sinéad O'Connor, "Nothing Compares 2 U". I have never been a big fan of music videos ... curse of being old before they became popular. But this video has knocked me out from the first time I saw it.

Bell Biv DeVoe, "Poison". The band a spinoff from New Edition, the sound New Jack Swing, one of the defining genres of the era.

Sonic Youth, "Kool Thing". I am not the biggest Sonic Youth fan, although I've seen them twice in concert. Outside of the inevitable "Teen Age Riot", this is probably my favorite of their songs.

Bonus: Faith No More, "Epic". A local band that once had Courtney Love as a lead singer, they got played a lot on college radio, with "We Care a Lot" featuring vocalist Chuck Mosley being the biggest hit. Mosley was replaced by Mike Patton, and this song became a lot more than a local college radio hit:
