I dig most of the music you referenced, Java Gurl, because that WAS true alternative or, at least, grunge. It's only when they tried to expand the definition and make everything alternative, that they failed miserably. I mean, a pioneering group like The Smiths or The Cure has NOTHING in common with Chumbawumba.
And who the FUCK decided to take someone else's version of "How Soon is Now" for that "Charmed" show. They couldn't get licensing from Morrissey and Marr? Fucking cheap bastards. A group like The Smiths always gets the shaft in the U.S.
Chief Kruglik also blows little boys and Maine wildlife. I tried to book him, but I got a GM.
