Rockell - In a Dream

Feta Van Cheese (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 18 May 2021 04:07 (three years ago) link

^^^ there was some video meme (tiktok or perhaps even vine?) at some pt in the past several years w/ rockell "in a dream" as the music. warms my heart slightly

I feel like Gin Blossoms were sort of pretty popular in the 90's but I haven't heard them anywhere in the past 20 years.

At least "follow you down" and "till I hear it from you" were successful singles iirc.

at least around where i live (and presumably elsewhere in the states) i would say "hey jealousy" may be their most enduring hit, even tho it was a lesser chart presence at the time of release

if we're bringing up rockell we should definitely bring up this other great freestyle single from around that time that didn't quite cross all the way over

I was going to post Capella! U Got 2 Let the Music was part of a nutritious diet of Urban Cookie Collective, Culture Beat etc.

I'm not a big fan of that Jon Secada tune, but it does give me very specific "coming home from karate class at 8pm on a Friday night c1992" vibes

Lucas With The Lid Off was probably a bit more prominent in the US and Aus than the UK, but I still get it stuck in my head fairly regularly:

This was huge at the time. A super-catchy posthumous Eurodance remix of a 1985 Freddie Mercury solo song, 'Living On My Own'.

It's a good remix yes - produced by Serge Ramaekers who did a million things, including T-Spoon and New Beat pop stars The Confetti's.

I heard this song at a local supermarket a few months back and was surprised to learn that not only did The Rembrandts have another hit prior to the theme to Friends, but that this one actually managed to chart a little bit higher.

I heard Martin Page's "House of Stone and Light" in Safeway a while back and I was sent. Stayed in the store until it finished.

lol I remember that one

Feta Van Cheese (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 19 May 2021 15:10 (three years ago) link

it was a decent try at replicating the vibe of "In Your Eyes" - vaguely spiritual lyric, layered "ethnic" percussion, long vampy section with not-quite-comprehensible words, a bass player wearing a trenchcoat
