music friday: 1993

Salt-n-Pepa, "Shoop". From Wikipedia: "Salt stated: The objective was to turn the tables on men - make them the objects. When writing my verses, I was thinking of tongue in cheek ways to objectify men. When you really like a song, it's easy to record. Fun fact: I had my daughter Corin in my arms while recording Shoop.''.

Radiohead, "Creep". The "1993" part is a bit of a cheat ... the single came out in '92, the album on which it was featured in '93. The band got tired of the song ... hard to blame them, I guess, but it's their own fault for making such a perfect record. This video has more than one Billion views on YouTube.

R.E.M., "Everybody Hurts". I identify with "Creep", but I once put "Everybody Hurts" on repeat and listened to it about a dozen times in a row.

Bonus: Liz Phair, "Fuck and Run". The one person on today's post that I saw live. It was 1995. "I can feel it in my bones. I'm gonna spend my whole life alone."
