A serious case of 90's nostalgia

And here it is, I was afraid of that.

Second night in a row...

First I played some music yesterday evening, then I realized I actually want to watch the HYPE documentary (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116589/)

A great documentary about the whole "northwestern rock explosion", had the soundtrack as well.

Many could say lots of those bands sucked musically and they might be right, but there's also captured the pure spirit, the madness, the scene, the redneck poets, the sheer intensity of the local scene, the human element, the soul behind the movement that ended as soon as it hit the heights of vogue.

Although, of course, you can't help to see some things as a pose in retrospect, and anything that gets popular attracts only a core of true fans and much, much more sheep followers.

Then I'm sitting in my place tonight chilling with my friend Scotch and guess what - I'm checking my Kevin Smith's movies, first I play some "Chasing Amy" then "Clerks" and I'm listening to bands I haven't listened to since I was at the high school.

It's true that I went through the most memorable emotional memories of my life in the 90's, as I was at the high school, first girl experience, parties where you haven't slept for days, all kinds of bogus memories, madness, memories of friendship and adventure, just about everything was exciting and intensive and you breathed and loved every single second of it.

I guess I was very happy at that time.

So it happens that once upon a time when I tune in some of those days legacy I get a lil bit sentimental - I believe there was something in the air besides us raising up.

Let's see what 2010 + brings,

Since the world sure doesn't need another negative creep, I strongly believe the balls and heart will return in full force.

I'm going to do my best to enforce it.

Here's what's played in the background in "Clerks" now
