Comments: Sorry about this post going up so late, everyone. I really did mean to write this last night, but I have a bad habit of misjudging how long I'm actually going to be awake. So, I have to admit to something -- I really don't know 90's music too well. So, I went and looked up hit songs from the 90s. While I wasn't surprised to have never have heard of most of the songs that came up, there were some that really did surprise me. This song, for example, was one of the songs that I thought was far more recent than 1998, so I'm quite glad that it's old enough to use this week. I like the Barenaked Ladies -- they're an upbeat band that can get a point across and make you smile at the same time. Their songs are never depressing, even the ones with a depressing message. I think the first song by them I ever heard was "If I had $1000000", but the first one that ever really got stuck in my head was "Who Needs Sleep?", which is fantastic. Enjoy!

Stuck In My Skull 357: 90s Week, Part 3 — “U Can't Touch This”

90's Week, Part 3 || Song: "U Can't Touch This" || Artist: MC Hammer || http://youtu.be/otCpCn0l4Wo ||
Comments: It might be 2013, but it's still the 90's here at Stuck In My Skull! And we're so awesome that you can't touch this. I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist the pun. This song is so original it was the genre setter, and we're still talking about it all these years later. Normally, I like to try to describe the songs I write about, but chances are, you've probably heard it. Go listen again, and enjoy the nostalgia!

90's Week, Part 2 || Song: "Little Fluffy Clouds" || Artist: The Orb || http://youtu.be/FHixChYgGRI ||

Comments: For those of you who are in timezones where it is 2013, Happy New Years! Thank you to Amanda, who gave me this lovely little song. I keep running into The Orb, and this just cements in my mind that I really need to look more of their stuff up. Also, I had no idea that The Orb was this old! Cool! I love groups with staying power. Enjoy, and happy new year!

90's Week, Part 1 || Song: "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" || Artist: Backstreet Boys || http://youtu.be/O6XE1XRiLeY ||

Comments: Well, Amanda proposed we do 90's week, so here we are. For the life of me, I don't know where I'm going to find a week's worth of 90's. The 90's essentially predated my interest in music, and the only bad I really cared about, well, here they are. And it turns out, yes, I still know the words. Campy? Nostalgic? Of course. But awesome. Enjoy the memories! And make sure you check back tomorrow -- we might be teasing some announcements in the new year!

Stuck In My Skull 354 -- "Sleepless"

Song: "Sleepless" || Artist: Deadmau5 || http://youtu.be/l2L599fMDPI ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/l2L599fMDPI]
Comments: Good morning, everyone. This song comes from Deadmau5's latest album, called " > album title goes here < ". It's a really new and different sound for Deadmau5, and I thought it was really interesting, so I just had to post it here. Rather than search for words, I'll just say it's slower and quieter than most songs by Deadmau5, and you should definitely give it a listen. Enjoy!

Stuck In My Skull 353 -- "Last of the Wilds"

Song: "Last of the Wilds" || Artist: Nightwish || http://youtu.be/vouAtmE13vs ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/vouAtmE13vs]
Comments: So, I recently (Christmas) came into quite a bit of music. In addition, I recently turned on a radio and realized "Wow, I'm really behind on pop music!" So, between both of those factors, I will be sending you some new tunes soon. But for today, I beg your pardon, but I have to pass this song along. Nightwish is generally considered to be masters of symphonic metal, but they're also really good at putting together an instrumental track -- all of the symphonic and none of the metal. "Last of the Wilds" is the symphonic track from Nightwish's album Dark Passion Play. Enjoy!

Stuck In My Skull 352 -- "Thrift Shop"

Comments: Hello, everyone! Hope you all had a good Christmas (if that's your thing) or other holiday/normal day. Somebody suggested that I listen to this song forever ago, and now that I have, I realize I should have made time to do so sooner. And I feel really bad, because I don't remember who told me! Whoever you are, please please please message me and I'll credit you! Anyway, song. Song is hilarious. And true. If you think Goodwill is lower-class, icky, or generally not worth it, you are so wrong. I personally have gotten a suit and a tuxedo from thrift shops, and they were dirt cheap. I also found an old computer there the other day. Sure, it's missing some stuff, but it was $6... and the RAM is selling for $16 on ebay. And on that note, enjoy the song!

Stuck In My Skull 351 -- "Scream and Shout"
Song: "Scream and Shout" || Artist: will.i.am feat. Britney Spears || http://youtu.be/kYtGl1dX5qI ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/kYtGl1dX5qI]
Comments: Happy Monday, folks! Let me preface this commentary by saying watch this video. Some of my comments might sound a tad negative, but watch the video. That being said, this song confused me. I feel as though will.i.am is still exploring his style as a solo artist, and this video feels like he was trying to go more hiphop than electro or pop. The iconography in the video seems to reinforce this. But I can't really look at this song and say "Oh, will.i.am just wanted to go hiphop," because he didn't. There are so many styles in here, that I really can't figure out what he was trying to do. But the glory of will.i.am is that he still managed to make the song sound good. And say what you will about his music, but he knows how to make a visually striking music video. As for Britney... why does she sound British? And is it just me, or is she channeling Dev?
Enjoy the song!

Comments: Today's entry is going to be pretty short, sorry. In a nutshell, I ran into this song, realized I hadn't posted it, and had to post it. It's so angst-y, it's wonderful! Enjoy, and enjoy the holiday weekend!
