Helium - Superball

[Raijinshun]

the first time that i listen them and i like a lot :DDD

[myradioon]

Both good bands.

[mrovantes]

This was one of the best songs, I remember buying the CD single in 1995. Awesome.

[EDOM666DEVORE]

what is it ya go to Seattle for the male front men and Boston for female

[korosv]

She was so sexy ... time passing too fast :)

... but nevermind, talent stays !

[BUZZUBUZZU]

danoelectro played with a screwdriver!

[TheJoeyTaylor]

That chorus is to die for, seriously.

[SouriezRain]

I'm small, like a superball. muy buena la cancion

[tonywalker1331]

Love Mary Timmony, really you never saw Helium on 120 minutes, or Beavis and Butthead? Great alternative music!

[Strawberry7Lynn]

I used to listen to Mary Timony/Helium a lot when I was 17. I in fact bought "the Dirt of Luck" and one or two other things. None of those carried any photos of Mary or the band, nor did I see any pictures in the music press. But at last, I know what she looks like, and I still enjoy the music

[buttdisease]

@Strawberry7Lynn not sure whose funbags those are on the dirt of luck insert

[turingtape]

Mary is so hot here...

[9eyeh8chu9]

is that ash bowie from polvo on the other strings?

[Muaver]

@9eyeh8chu9 yup

[surfercrow]

[toansavoo]

Did anyone already mentioned the Slits?

[holmesaz]

Didnt have a chance to read through all comments...anyone mention Tanya Donnelly (Belly) or Sarah Harmer (Weeping Tile)??

Helium ROCKS!

[crosboid]

This is a fucking epic song and an even more fucking epic album.

Helium RULE!!!

[GoatLaddy]

Top female bands that I like--SLANT 6 (all girls-minimalist indie) , STARFISH (chick singer/ bassplayer-catchy alty.) , DRAIN STH (all badass swedish biker babes) And of course you cant forget THE MUFFS,( chick singer- , heartfelt punk)

[falcon12]

The Tourettes, 7 Year Bitch, Spitboy, L7, Adickdid, The Frumpies, and Tattle Tale, etc. the list is wide and inclusive!!!

[youngjoseph400]

I love this artist. Anyone else recommend other great 90's rocker girls?

[neontomx]

Sleater-Kinney

[myradioon]

@neontomx - Before Sleater-Kinney even existed.

[toribjork10]

@myradioon hahaha, right! and with a totally different, and imo, better sound. helium's music has an imagery to it that can't really be compared to anything else.

[ChumKrimson]

@myradioon - not true. Sleater-Kinney formed in early 94

[GetMoney2TakeMoney]

If you're not familiar, I'd suggest Veruca Salt, Bratmobile and Team Dresch.

[fountgarde]

Autoclave (Mary's older band w/ Christina Bilotte), Liz Phair, Juliana Hatfield, The Breeders, Slant 6... lots more for sure, but can't currently recall. Mary has a lot of newer solo work as well and is playing with a new band called Soft Power nowadays.

[JusticekneeWilypig]

Babes in Toyland, L7, Bikini Kill, The Breeders,-Pixies- Erics Trip, Free Kitten,-Sonic Youth- Mazzy Star, Poison Girls, Nausea...etc.etc.etc.

[crosboid]

Juliana Hatfield, Lush, Aimee Mann, Magnapop, Flinch, Feline, P J Harvey's first two albums (Dry and Rid of Me).

Just a few that weren't mentioned by anyone else here.

[surfercrow]

[ENJ4321]

@surfercrow You forgot Veruca Salt,Cranberries, Tori Amos,Tracy Bonham... or did you just not mention them for a reason?

[economuzak]

Does anyone else hear a Built to Spill influence in this song?

[BruceIsSoCool]

Hey i looked that band up, i like it

[CaptainPillowMusic]

Dirt of Luck is such a great album.

[prozacpeople]

i'm forever in love with her.

[JuniorBuda]

que bonita, sisisi

[HamburgerMartyr]

two words: Ash Bowie.

[esperlutz]

polvo in baltimore this saturday -- i'm jazzed.

[sirreginaldsorbonne]

neat-fucking-o. I had no idea they had a video for this song. I love this old indie shit, man!!! cool in the pool. may TRUE indie never die.

[jonfinswife]

thats pretty fucking cool

[looshkin66]

i remember theese guys! i was sooooo in love with her in like 9th grade.

[fiveways]

@looshkin66

grade 11 for me.

[Ohhowthedogsstackup]

@fiveways

Just now for me :)

[buttdisease]

what a shitty video, good song though

[incuvana]

I'm always going to love this sound.

[thehooded6969]

I saw them like 10 years ago with sonic youth, i thought she was so hot...I wan to marry her

[SkalY7]

helium IS a GOOD band, far more interesting than green day or the offspring!

[LeftWingMofo]

As a Green Day fan, I feel the need to say that I think this is an awesome song.

Helium are a fantastic band!

[TheeFinchLynch]

Enjoy choking down your corporate, commerical, over-polished, MTV ready "punk" music.

Get the fuck out of here...you belong at Hot Topic.

[terrytberry]

you belong in middle school. grow the fuck up.

[Twist9]

God damn I love the 90's

[markmacelhiney]

That is Ash Bowie - AND Sean Devlin on drums (from the great band Dumptruck). Bands with half this much songwriting and originality get a "Web buzz" about them today and are indie superstars. There was no internet around to promote some great bands in the 90's! She rocks harder than most "guy" bands today

[CrazedPeeling]

love this song

[daleko135]

6/10 i raged

[ventalation]

I miss the 90s so much

[machinesbreathe]

Is that Ash Bowie of Polvo on Guitar?

I thought this song had a Polvo-esque sonic texture and syncopation.

[CrushingLove]

Yes.

[s7rugg1es]

She's one hot English literature grad.

[jimshoez]

Damn I miss the Middle East. 1995-98 Boston RULED!

[betoosoglez]

viva helium, mary timony y polvo

saludos desde mexico

betopop

[palohan]

its seven years i dont listen to music and by chance i came to this video

my days, i remember this song!!

that album was really good!!

[dbadagna]

Best Helium song ever.

[glowingliketheocean]

mary and helium are criminally underrated. such great music.

[dontaleto]

Classic alternative music. I love helium. Kinda wish they were bigger than they were. but it's our little secret.

[judahbenkenobi]

I have this song on tape but I don't know who it's by,HERE GOES:::: "Can't you see the painted roses on the table, sitting in a vase that is cracked in half. Can't you hear the birds calling from inside, of the anxious forest of delight. I do not want to fight, work or remember, how we did not get along how we could not get along. Can you see the painted roses on the table sitting in a vase that is filled with tears? Can you see the minutes eaten by the insect..." etc. HELP ME!!!!!

[plusdome]

it's by mary timony, "The Hour Glass" off of Mountains

[musicside]

I think Mika juse helium to (H)

[inwhatwordswere]

I had no clue Helium had a video for this track.

[jennystarseed]

wow. i've haven't seen this in years. thanks for sharing.

[jamegumm]

Does someone have Helium's XXX video from Beavis and Butthead?

[madpilot24]

LOVE Mary

[judahbenkenobi]

I'm reminded of the gritty determination of a penis you egg nate, the weekends in New York shitty, the wildly passionate nights aat dick house you cock ayasss

[sanford518]

surprisingly, there is a higher quality version of this video on the yahoo! music site.

[lesYperSounds]

Oh yeah, I saw that later... but it has a huge logo of yahoo (scare of being sued, haha) and I´d like a even better version, right? I got the other 2 videos of this album on DVD, so...

[jx4021]

@sanford518 I have always loved this song and mt. I have the cds I bought circa 1995, the ep and dirt of luck.

[jasonant1]

Was that dude in Polvo?

[fredsavagerules]

Yes, it's Ash Bowie.

[jasonant1]

Cool thanks man. Fred Savage does rule. Wonder Years, Little Monsters and the Wizard=The Best!

[zombiesaredudes]

thanx a lot for sharing this! i didn't even know this video exist! good old times...

[sleater84]

gasp, MT in LEather. What more cud one want

[slenders]

Didn't even know this existed..thanks so much.

[aurora5to7]

This song is awesome! Thanks for posting this! It really takes me back.

[unchained82]

Mary looks like Melissa Joan Hart in this particular video.

[harshtradamus]

mid 90s out the A, somebody kill the stylist -- wish they showed moer Ash

[mrovantes]

awesome! the drums on this are cool.

[madpilot24]

[holmesaz]
