it's come to a point in time where '90s music is considered pretty retro. the goo goo dolls, gin blossoms, blessed union of souls, counting crows, ben folds, third eye blind, our lady peace to name a few. some have faded away and are only remembered by people who have been around long enough. and i've been around long enough to just remember some of it. incredible. i should make a 90s music mixCD or something. i still remember when 'iris' and aerosmith's 'i don't want to miss a thing' were anthems in my day and were overplayed on mtv, radio, everything. 'iris' was the number one teenage angst anthem, when people would wail, 'and i don't want the world to seeee meeeee, cos i don't think that they'd understanddddd' just to sound angsty.

it sounds very cheesy right now. that song is major cheese, on retrospect.

wow, i do sound old. like i said, my tastes in music are cyclical - i think i'm going through some sort of easy listening '90s phase now.

you will say we've got nothing in common
no common ground to start from
and we're falling apart

you will say the world has come between us
our lives have come between us
still i know you just don't care

and i said what about breakfast at tiffany's
she said i think i remember the film
and as i recall i think we both kinda liked it
and i said well that's the one thing we've got

i see you, you're the only one who knew me
but now your eyes see through me
i guess i was wrong
so what now
it's plain to see we're over
and i hate when things are over
and so much is left undone

oh, and one thing i really like about '90s music? radiohead.
