Three Tune Tuesday and Nineties Friday Rolled Into One!

avatar

This past Friday I ended up missing my #NintiesFriday post due to personal reasons, and since I am going to be a bit short on time this week I'm going to make #ThreeTuneTuesday and #NinetiesFriday all into one post. What could possibly go wrong?

First off I would like to do a shoutout to @ablaze for starting and continuing to support Three Tune Tuesday, and also do the same to @geneeverett for starting Nineties Friday and continuing to support it. You will always find some interesting tunes from around the world on Tuesday and then on Friday it anything from the 1990's, your imagination is the limit!

Instead of a custom header this week I am going to share an image that everyone alive in the 1990's will recognize, but with a twist. The floppy disk is how you saved your data back in the nineties, so everybody had them. I probably had too many backing up my files and work... But the floppy disk I'm sharing today is a charlatan, but a very cool one. This floppy disk is actually a coin produced by the island nation on Niue! It's two ounces of solid silver colored to look like our old friend the floppy disk.

I do not own one of these, although I am tempted just because it's so weird. However, the prices I found start at $250 US, so it may have to wait quite awhile before it's added to my stack (if ever.) But what better way to launch into a combo Nineties Friday and Three Tune Tuesday combo?

Today the songs will all be coming from the era of the 1990's. But to start off I thought I might thrown in a funny Seinfeld clip, the one where George pretends to be a marine biologist to impress a woman.

Now we'll jump straight into the music!

The Smashing Pumpkins


rollingstone.com

The Smashing Pumpkin formed in 1988 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1991 they released their album Gish, and they subsequently went on tour to open for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N Roses, and Jane's Addiction. This was followed up by "Siamese Dream" in 1993 and by " Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" in 1995. Off of the latter came the song "Bullet With Butterfly Wings":

Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam originated in Seattle, Washington in 1990. By 1991 they had recorded and release their debut album "Ten". It took some time before it really took off, but by 1992 it peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 charts. They have gone onto become legendary rockers and still are producing music and even have their own channel of satellite radio SiriusXM. This song came off the the album "Ten", this is "Even Flow":

Red Hot Chili Peppers


loudwire.com

The Red Hot Chili Peppers formed in 1982 by a group of high school friends in Los Angeles, California. Lead singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist "Flea" are the only two who have been with the band since it's inception. Throughout the 1980's they began to find a following and in 1989 their album "Mother's Milk" launched them to fame. I recall seeing them in concert in the late 1980's when they were opening for Oingo Boingo, that was a long time ago! In 1991 they released the album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" with the huge hit "Give It Away":

That will just about do it for my post today. I hope you enjoyed the Seinfeld video and the 90's music. My favorite pick of the day is still the silver disk, too bad it's so expensive! Have a great Tuesday everyone and thank you for all of your support!

All brilliant bands and brilliant songs.
For a while there it felt like The Red Hot Chili Peppers were the biggest band in the world!

And just imagine if Johnhadnt left for the middle of the nineties! They should have had two more huge albums between 1991 & 1999 album! They had one in middle but it was a bomb, Dave didn’t fit on guitar. There an alternative universe where he Chilli Peppers had more records out in the nineties!

It would have been awesome, but like most bands at some point people just don't get along...

That floppy disk is cool as hell, but no way I’m paying that price.

Thanks! I kind of hope after it sells out that the price drops, I would love to have one but not at that price!

Great nineties picks! Good mix of bands! Do u know this was a concert ? Chili peppers headlined and the other 3 opened (plus Nirvana) It was 1991 in California. I only know because Anthany mentioned it on a podcast. I honestly never got hardcore into Pearl Jam for some reason, I love Soundgarden and the rest but just didn’t click for me. But past years I have indeed! Good post my brother! 🎸

I never got to much into Pearl Jam either, but they have a few songs I like. Always have loved the Chili Peppers... I nearly put up Soundgarden today! I knew it was live but the actual concert no, very cool. I loved shows back then, they weren't expensive like they are now!

Great collection of 90s things.

I still have some 3.5 floppies floating around with stuff on them that I really need to figure out how to get access to a floppy drive to save. I'll do you one more: I still have a few 5.25 disks in my desk.

I'd love that silver floppy, but no way am I paying that much.

I agree, price is way too rich for my blood! I have some 3.5's around and even some of the 5.25's as well. I'm not sure the data would be any good after all these years though! !lol

The floppy disk brings a lot of memories because that is when I first started to use a computer back in my high school time.
But that is a weird way to pack the silver round.

Ah the golf ball episode! Good stuff. That floppy disk piece is really awesome looking. I saw the other day that the lead singer of the chili peppers is dating a 19 year old and he is like sixty something.

I wish I could justify buying it at that price, but I can't! That's just creepy, sixty year old guy with a nineteen year old... Oh well!

I always liked the golf ball episode, it's hilarious!

Great song choices.

You had me with the floppy disk but then you introduced the songs and it just kept on getting better.

Big fan of all three songs you chose. Loved Pearl Jam all through high school but found myself losing interest after their fourth album and their style changed. Still listen to their early stuff, and Temple of the Dog, which is basically Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell.

Bullet with Butterfly Wings is, in my opinion, one for the best songs The Smashing Pumpkins made. Love it!

Thanks for reminding me of these.

Is it bad that I've never watched Seinfeld? I just missed it somehow. I think there's good music in every decade and those are some classics of their time.

It's a funny show, one of the better ones ever made in my view. Worth watching when you have some free time! I don't know if they ever played it on your side of the pond.

Joining two initiatives in one, what could go wrong? hahahaha, in fact you have been lucky and it's because you really enjoy both. Everything you've shared here I love and it was so much fun to read. Thanks for bringing “Give It Away” into my day, wow, what a song and what a mega band, it's my favorite of all your selections and a powerful representation of 90's alternative music.
