If there is a more '90s video, group and song I'd love to know what it is.
- 70s-era "Paul's Boutique" imitating hipster clothing choices
- Filmed around a pool, with a random dog, and several gratuitous American flag shots
- Fast-motion creepy wind-up toy visuals
- Stocking hat in summer, b/w obnoxiously large Cobain-inspired sunglasses
- American So Cal singer who clearly loved Johnny Rotten's sneering fuck-off vox
- A veritable guitar army of vintage pieces (Gretsch White Falcon, sparkle finish Fender Strat, Gibson SG)
- 3-axe, Lynyrd Skynyrd-esque noise storm, wah-wah solo + incredible energy, seemingly from out of nowhere only to disappear at a Lollapalooza midway or something
- Lyrics that sound vaguely pissed at The Man but without articulating anything specific -- "Why don't you believe, believe in your own god?" Literally: get your own goddamn god.
1993 was my shit, yo.

Summer vibes for sure, I remember driving through the streets of Berlin, blasting this song out of my roommates car and hustling to find jobs and money.

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
