Two awesome Youtube videos

I recently had yet another massive 90's flashback recently, to the awesome early 90's hip-hop outfit House of Pain, whose hit Jump Around everyone must have heard sampled in at least one other song, while doing my usual research for the site I found out that in 1996 the band actually split up and the lead singer decided he wanted to be a blues singer. As a solo artist, Everlast recorded a 90's song you thought you'd never hear again... named "What it's Like", today we bring you both nearly polar opposite yet incredibly 90's songs.
House of Pain - Jump Around

S.O.A.P.

Another Youtube post today, yet more 1998 pop/commercial dance classics this week as we continue with S.O.A.P.'s "This is how we party", a song so corny and 1998 that it defies explaination. S.O.A.P. were two random Danish chicks of Malaysian descent who hit it big in the late 90's with Ladidi Ladida #15 AU & This Is How We Party #1 DK, #1 SE, #7 AU, (US Top 20), #36 UK. Funny how they'd never let anyone know what their name stood for, I guess 8 years on we finally know

Apparantly back in 2000 they were the opening act to Savage Garden's Europe tour, how cool is that?! Anyhow, check out this fantastic example of how awesome and retro something can be that was only 8 years ago! For some reason this week's video can't be embedded in the site, so please navigate to the Youtube link here

Another Youtube roundup, Things 90's Sci Fi fanatics do that nobody'll ever appreciate

Everybody knows Star Trek and Star Wars geeks, it's been done. But apparently there's another type of fanatic subculture that just isn't quite as common but quite a bit weirder: People obsessed with long dead 90's Sci-Fi shows, like Seven Days, Quantum Leap, Early Edition, and my personal fave, Sliders. I'm sure everyone remembers watching Sliders slowly destroy itself in the mid to late 90's on Ch10 every Thursday at 8:30. The show's creators gradually all quit in disgust as Fox changed the show from being based on social commentary and alternate Earths to being a show about crazy looking aliens named "Kromaggs" who end up killing off all the original cast except Rembrandt. (The black guy. Remember him? Yeah, he was mad.)

For your viewing pleasure this week we present two videos, first the full, uncut 'Cry Like A Man', from the pilot episode of Sliders, apparently co-written by Australia's Paul Kelly. The second of which is a scary fan made tribute to Sliders Season 1-2, featuring a Styx song I had never heard outside of South Park.

Black Box - Classic 90's Doof!

Everyone remembers that awkward period of the odd dance music from 1989-1991, that sort of weird limbo where music wasn't quite sure where to go after the chafeboard that was the most of the 80's, bands like Black Box, Technotronic, 2Unlimited and the like flourished, and then were shortly forgot during the rapid moving mid 90's. Some champ has recently put up this video from Black Box's 1989 classic "Ride on time", recently played on our radio show. Another hillariously random fact is the song's title "Ride on Time" came about because the guys in the band misheard the record they were sampling! The lyrics are really Cause you're right on time. As was happening more and more often, the woman in the video is not the woman singing the vocals, you're watching an Italian transexual named Catherine Quinol who can't speak a word of English badly mime! Make sure to check it out!
