Got a CD in the mail by The Break and Repair Method. Quick research (read: a visit to the band's MySpace page) reveals this is a side project of Matchbox 20 guitarist Paul Doucette (dude, give up your day gig and put all your eggs in this basket!) featuring a wide array of friends who lend their talents to various songs. Reading the names is like reading a Who's Who of mid-90s MTV videos - Tracy Bonham ("Mother Mother"), Nina Gordon (ex-Veruca Salt, "Seether"), David Levita (Alanis Morrisette), Roger Manning (Jellyfish, Beck), Rusty Anderson (Paul McCartney), Jeff Russo (Tonic, "If You Could Only See the Way"), Ryan Macmillan (The Push Stars), and Matt Beck (Dog's Eye View). And, did I mention that Doucette is married to Moon Unit Zappa?

All these names got me thinking of the one-hit wonders of the '90s, particularly the mid-90s (of which many of these performers were members of).

Remember this song? (Dig - "Believe")



Or this one? (New Radicals - "Get What You Give")



Or this one? (Marcy Playground - "Sex and Candy")



I know fans of these bands will argue that they were more than one-hit wonders the same way I'll argue that Blind Melon and Veruca Salt were more than one-hit wonders, but to the average music consumer, these bands are known for one hit, and one hit only.

On your mark ... get set ... post videos!

those first two don't work

wax-hush

Universal Music Group strikes again! "Embedding not allowed". BOO. The videos I had up there have been replaced with videos NOT owned by Universal Music Group.

Jesus Jones - "Right Here, Right Now"


(this wasn't even a hit but one of my favorite bands from the '90s, Fig Dish) Fig Dish - "Seeds"


The Murmurs - "You Suck"

As immaturity may be a result of certain chemical imbalances
so may the friggin' skatenigs, flick the trigger on the sucker
squealing studs of puddness,
they sing stuck in a rut in pig pog land
they share rigs with grave diggers,
worry about death when its done come and gone,
you buy their records and they'll piss on your momma's best collectables.
they beat their rancid meat and expect you to pay the check
they ream the beef of bad backstage girls
redundant in new wave black
up the butt, snuck, stuck, mucked-up, sucked
I'd eat baboon bowel before I'd bite on their juvenile, penile pole projections
they casually, smashingly refer to as "my dick"
Infected, rejected, afflicted, mal-addicted, boa constrictive
if immaturity is a indeed a certain result of chemical imbalances,then these guys are on a permanent, Ammaco overload.
Crawling through maggot breath, yeehaaaaaw
boys with latex toys,
if buttholes were peepshows then the Nigs are the window to the soul
of this fucking ridiculous world
Banality's got nothin' on these boys
enough to sign royalty checks,
the forged signitaure
the toilet swipe,
the mega-acid smile
the glitch in the universal way


yeah...
a real boss abortion to brag about at your next barbeque.
