The Music Blog of the Infonistacrat!

So, I am stepping WAYYY outside my comfort zone on this post. Normally, I don’t post sugary pop music, but you know, I came across that Iron Man remake by Cardigans, and it just kind of came together. Thus, a post of some of the lighter tunes that came out of a decade that truly rocked (see my post from yesterday is you have any doubts that the 90’s rocked).

I won’t lie…sometimes I am a total puss when it comes to music…the oddest songs catch my ear, and these tunes all caught my ear for one reason or another. Take for instance the Mellisa Etheridge song. There’s two reasons for that. First, in the 90’s I was going to school to be an electrical engineer. (Yep, I’m an engineer by training that has always worked in IT) One of my better friends, and a member of my brutally efficient and totally genius study group was a lesbian who LOVED Etheridge. So she kind of got me hooked on her stuff for awhile. The second thing was the video for the song. For some reason I had a huge thing for Juliette Lewis. I’m a sucker for the freaks, and that girl I believe to be a super freak.

You’ll also notice Digital Underground and ask yourself “Has the Infonoistacrat gone totally insane?!?” Well, no. That’s my tribute to my old shipmates on the USS Coral Sea. We LOVED that damn song in 1990, the last year we were all together before we all left the Navy and went our separate ways.

Oh, and I just read that there may be a new Big Lebowski movie based on The Jesus character. I now officially have something to live for!
