And this was a song that I had not heard since college.
(Yes, I did purchase it on iTunes.)
Seeing the first Lollapalooza was a formative experience in my life. This band was one of the shared headliners, along with Jane's Addiction.
Without any further ado, I present Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Kiss Them For Me

90s Nostalgia - The Suggestions
So, I asked for advice yesterday about music for TEA and the interwebs provided.
Bell Biv Devoe
Paula Abdul
The Fresh Prince (of Bel Air)
Violent Femmes
INXS
Digapble Planets
Portishead
The Cure
The Bangles
The Charlatans UK
Matthew Sweet
Beastie Boys
New Order
Faith No More
Color Me Badd
(Thank you to Erik, Joy, Andrea, Tracy, Sean and Mike for offering suggestions)
- Apart from "I Wanna (Sexx You Up), most of the suggestions were appropriate
- Oh, I chose which song represented the band.
- It was curious that U2 was not mentioned.
- I think Bell Biv DeVoe's Poison may be an important lesson for TEA...i.e. "Never trust a big butt and a smile."

90s Nostalgia
Nostalgia is a combination of two Greek words meaning "returning home" combined with "pain or ache". (I read this while in Boston last weekend and it stuck with me.)
Earlier in the week, Lux sent me a piece from Slate about showing the 1992 Reading Festival performance of Nirvana at this year's festival.
The Slate piece bothered me...for a couple of reasons...some of it is an inside baseball thing about Slate being contrarian when it comes to the general mood, and part of is how they will happily borrow ideas from New York Mag and slag them at the same time.
Mostly it is because the early 90s were different, because...well...they were my formative years. This is when I was a late teenager and young twenty-something. I have been spending a lot of one on one time with TEA lately, and I have been consuming his media in an effort to understand him and I am struck how different his view of the world is than mine it.
Then...I got to thinking about how to introduce this era to TEA.
TEA is too young for Nevermind, and too young for Ten (Do you think that Jeremy would cause nightmares?)
Lux and I had a conversation about hot to introduce TEA to my music and what would be appropriate for him, and all I could come up with is "Squeeze".
But...I know I am leaving bands out...
What late 80s or early 90s band would you introduce TEA to?
