I found this song back in 2003. I have no idea how though? Was it in a movie or something? I need to download it again. It just popped on my mind out of fucking nowhere. lol
@scobratec amen. My little brother and i loved this video, he called me and left this vmail about 'analyzing "Crazy Town." Killed himself (sorry), i think of him whenever i see this now.
@emu314159 Truly sorry about your brother. My brother and I had slightly different tastes in music (he liked Classic Rock and Metal, I liked New Wave and Alternative Rock.)
IN 1992 I, SVENGALIGRAVES, FUCKED THE SHIT OUT OF EDDIE'S GIRLFRIEND, BETH SORENTINO, OF THE BAND "SUDDENLY TAMMY" WHEN SHE WAS OPENING UP FOR THE CRANBERRIES AT THE GRAND NIGHTCLUB IN NYC. EDDIE, OF "LIVE", WAS SMOKING A CIGARETTE OUTSIDE WAITING FOR BETH WHILE I WAS INSIDE FUCKING HER BACKSTAGE. AFTERWARD, I WIPED THE CUM OFF MY DICK AND WENT OUTSIDE GET SOME AIR. BETH STAYED INSIDE, CRYING CAUSE SHE JUST GOT FUCKED AND CHEATED ON EDDIE. I SAW EDDIE OUTSIDE AND WE EXCHANGED A FRIENDLY HELLO.
I had a crush on the singer. I saw them live in Chapel hill at the Cradle.. then the singer jumped off the stage and french kissed some other hot chick. That ended my short crush! Shes a lesbian boys... lol.
I saw this video way back in the day on 120 Minutes around 1993. I had a crush on the singer, but could you blame me? I was 15. I still have this 45. Man, music was great back then and I wish it would go back to that way. There is some good stuff out there today, though none of it is on the mainstream.
Beautiful. music these days is so shit I have to search back to find anything decent, but am so glad I did, VG are fantastic. Please reform???!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them (for the 1st time) opening one of the HFStivals @RFK staduim in DC- I think The Posies, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Iggy Pop, Stereo MC's & (the real)INXS were at the same show... Great night. I think I was in 10th grade at the time? Geez.
@tiana1017 that and a lot of places! Like you can't fast forward through warnings, it takes hours to get to the main menu!! if there's one scratch, forget it, it doesn't work, and they're easy to scratch!
I've seen them proform many times in Albany, NY. They put on a great show everytime and the singer was so pretty. Guys would melt while listening to her sing. Great songs from a great band!!!
Hey I lived in Oxon Hill and my experience was nowhere near as beautiful as this! Seriously though Velocity Girl is one of the best things to happen to me musically and I wish they were still around. I only caught one show at Sapphire Supper Club in Orlando FL in 1996 right before they broke up.
when i was a teenager our band opened for them for there last show at the 9:30 in d.c. 96 maybe? i can't remember. it was my 2nd show ever in front of 900 plus people.

I would rather listen to the Crazytown that actually sold albums than this rotton shit! I mean c'mon whats wrong with Crazytown, Limp Bizkit or any of the early 2000's metal rap! I love it all!
Limp Bizkit? Hahahahahahaha. They only sold to confused 14 year old boys with hyperactive problems and disappeared a year later. Indie sells to music lovers.

Listen Idiot! and i mean that. Even if something is marketed, it doesn't mean that its shit. Get that the fuck straight. If people are buying there records than they must be doing something right! Listen if you want to listen to music thats never going to get played on the radio then go sit in a fucking local coffee shop and hear some depressing loner music. Leave the music we like to us! Talking about selling out! Its you indie fuckers that i hate the worst!! Absolutely the fucking worst,
The way you typecast and stereotype millions of people into 1 pile of "MOTHERFUCKERS' pretty much explains away how 1-dimensional your thought process is. The radio plays some good music, but it's played into the ground. Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, are good bands, but I don't need to hear the same 5 songs everyday for 20 years. Try expanding your horizons beyond "U VS ME" and get a little bit more musically intelligent, because you seem to like corny cliche music thats marketed to TEENAGERS.
I guess you're right though. Ashlee Simpson and the Backstreet Boys are musical geniuses and deserve our respect. They were marketed well, so they are musically talented by default

What kind of music is this anyway! Poor production, no real beat to it, Gloomy, depressing, song and video was made in one day probably! Maybe these guys were the opening act for some little hick town festival. Yeah id much rather hear Fred Dursts voice over this crude and unusual music! At least the real Crazytown has some melody to it! Isnt that what music is about? Melody?
Haha. Fred Durst. Dude, you're a douchebag in every sense of the word. Velocity Girl is not the greatest example of indie, this song doesn't do that much for me, but Limp Bizkit took their influence from early 90s grunge/alternative and old school rap. All of that is indie. So kill yourself.
So far nobody is buying your albums! Never even heard of this shit outside of Youtube! Yeah my favorite artists are Eminem, Coldplay, U2, John Mayer, is there anything wrong with that!
Who the hell says I make albums? You're so reactionary. It's ironic that you say "open your ears to everything" when you're the one that's shut off and refuses to acknowledge anything outside the mainstream whereas I embrace music from any corner, including the mainstream. It's not my fault that the percentage of phony non-musical shite in the mainstream is considerably higher than that of outside.
You are just kind of beyond hope. You are so far from being "enlightened". You strike me as a real "average Joe" that is scared of what he doesn't understand. This single video/song does not embody indie music. It's ridiculously diverse. All of the mainstreams ideas came from either underground music or classic/old music from back when the mainstream actually embraced real ARTISTS up until the 80s or so when novelty commercialized shit started to dominate, s'why the underground exists
Oh give me break, thats just another cliche cop out! If a song is catchy and has a good beat and its a good song than who the fuck cares. Listen if you have a problem with Maintstreem America than go live in a fucking cave. "Close Minded Fucks"......... Just shut up and deal with it! Im so beyond hope, yeah right!
It's funny that you're so proud of Eminem, Coldplay, U2 and John Mayer as examples of commercial music, failing to realize that they themsleves do not agree with your logic. They all would tell that a large majority of what influenced them and what they listen to on their spare time is a lot of obscure music. U2, for instance, worships Joy Division. Coldplay were influenced by Jeff Buckley. Eminem would list countless underground rappers.
Hey news flash, i listen to Jeff Buckley and Joy Division. They werent/arent that underground! Yeah but U2 worshiped the Stones too. And Coldplay worshiped the Beatles and Oasis. Eminem also was into 2pac and Biggie! Oh and i never said that underground is all negative, but the reason alot of these acts are underground is because there music isnt on a certain level yet. You just keep on opening one can of worms after another! Theres nothing you can say to prove me wrong. im shaming you to death.
You've got it wrong. It has nothing to do with being "on a certain level." Lmfao. You are so clueless to how things work. It's marketability. When you're predominately marketing faux-coolness to predominately to kids, sheer quality of music is less than important. A song also has to fit into the verse chorus verse structure, and nothing that goes over the heads average Joe. You see, mainstream music always takes in the lowest common denominator. It has to be as watered down as possible.
If you honestly are 'black and white' or 1-dimensional to believe all mainstream music is on "another level of greatness", I sincerely hope you aren't looking for a career in music or considering breeding. A lot of incredibly technically, melodically, dissonant, pure, artistic, music doesn't make it on the radio for all those reasons - it's too complicated for mass audiences. They just wanna hear an average rock song. Recycled ideas. Predictability. Something that they will eat.

You have no taste then! If you think for one second that U2, Rolling Stones, Eminem, Coldplay David Bowie, The Kilers, John Mayer, Led Zepplin arent on another level of greatness than you are sadly mistaken!--Hey heres a thought(IM SERIOUS)
Name a few underground bands that i can look up on youtube, and i will tell you my opinion. I mean hey maybe the music you like so much is really good and has depth! Im not kidding i would love for you to name a band or two that you like.U Might be surprised.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Interpol are a great band, i will never, never deny that! But i like the Killers even better! And have you heard Sam's Town! That album had substance written all over it! Man how can you put down the Killers!
of all the bands that used to come up to boston & play tons of shows, they were the most real & fun to be around. again, i'd help haul their gear up the any amount of middle east stairs or through any blinding vermont snowstorm. y'all probably missed the velocity girl, swirlies & kudgel show in Burlington, VT. too bad, i guess most of you kids were busy being born. i ride into battle in slumberland every night upon my trusty velocity girl pillow case. ride on for beauty! ride on for chimp rock!
Ah Velocity Girl. So much talent, so much promise but not so much success in the mainstream, which is fine by me. Velocity Girl was like my favorite secret and always a big hit when I played their singles at gatherings and parties. Good stuff then and even better stuff now!
That last was directed toward the one generation is all that is good people out there. As for VG, there good, but they never put anything out that mad me look twice. It was nice to hear, in a time filled with heavy distortion, some clean guitar, but they were so, I suppose, uninspired...
timleery: you're right on. The whole shoegazing scene was terrific but velocity girl were one of the better bands stateside. But why bother classifying them into a genre? They made very likeable, unpretentious indie rock that stands the test of time. The good old days....I'm kinda happy I caught them while they were at their peak
I wouldn't classify Velocity Girl as shoegazer. Shoegazer's guitars were a lot more fuzzed out (such as My Bloody Valentine, early Lush or Ride). As far as British musical styles go, VG is probably closer to the C86 scene (which makes sense given that they were named after a Primal Scream song).
Maybe it's just me getting old, but I'm beginning to think of the late '80s/early '90s as the glory days of college radio (where the likes of VG were in good rotation)
pop heaven...is anybody making music this good anymore? i feel sorry for kids today...the 90's had the greatest music...EVER. everybody thinks theyre bad-ass metalheads or gangstas these days, but don't know how to play a fuckin instrument...my advice:put down the guns, pick up a guitar, and for God's sake, DON'T SHOOT UP THE SCHOOL!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To say the 90 had the best music, I have to say you need to think in terms less narrow. Sure it was good, but today we have The White Stripes, new Modest Mouse, Portugal the Man, Apples in Stereo, Wolf Parade, Mars Volta, Coheed, and so many others.
Good bands are putting out still out there making great music. I suppose you're just not listening.
You're right, to a certain extent. As Bill Drummond (ex-KLF) said, there's nothing more sad than a middle-aged man thinking the music of his youth was the pinnacle and that there's nothing worth listening to now. I still love VG, but I'm also loving the Long Blondes, VHS or Beta, The Kills, Los Campesinos!, etc.
That said, Coheed is a trainwreck. I'd rather listen to Nickleback.
well i'm only in my early 20s, and i still think the early 90s seen was a lot more vital and creative than anything coming out now, minus a few exceptions.
jangle-pop, soft and sophomoric, in my opinion. Perhaps for a different era and time, but oh my, kids today are listening to much more sophisticated stuff; violent, hard, emotionally dark...and the "jangle pop" or indie scene today is obsolete; hybrid music has taken over and so has the business machine.
If by sophisticated you mean over-produced I would agree with you. I'll go along with violent and dark too but don't forget self-pitying and self-loathing. All those things don't make today's music any better than this "jangle-pop". While VG wasn't complex it was fun and original. Dark music has it's place (I'm a huge fan of Adore), creativity and originality does as well and in my opinion, it's exactly what most modern music is lacking in.
Perhaps, "sophisticated" may not have been the best word-choice to describe the characteristic of what I deem as modern music, especially within the context of comparison. May I also stress that I'm not saying one is "better" than the other either. I was harsh on VG (this vid p'ed me off actually- what is this? "Suburbanite Bash 2000"!? Your points are well taken. We'll just say, there once was a time when VG ruled the world - a gentler place then politically, socially, and psychically.
Last year that Kelly Clarkson song 'Since you've been gone' was a huge hit and when I heard it the first time I flipped out because it sounded so much like a bad VG rip. There will always be all sorts of music being produced, but to me from post-punk to 1992 was kind of a golden age, now most new bands I hear sound like a version of something from this time period.
Alright - the band Crazy Town is one of the worst bands ever. And to shut up all of you mornons who are so in love with that shitty band, just know that the lead singer is a straight up basehead - the dude smokes rock. And a lot of it. So basically, you guys love a crack head.

You know if I were 14 that statement would very insulting. Let me guess though, another idiot who wanted to see a video by a band that 20 people care about? Sorry you stumbled onto a GOOD band, must be weird hearing good music coming at you from anything titled Crazytown.
One of my favorite songs ever. Any idea on the lyrics though? Ones online are woefully incorrect. I'm still trying to decide if she says "I got so close but it's not enough" or "I got a clue but it's not enough"

Mixooso, thank you. I have such fond memories of seeing VG at Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill. I wasn't there to see them, but Superchunk (I think)... I asked someone what band was opening, and I think he said The Frosty Girls. Lucky for me it was actually VG.
I think their best song was My Forgotten Favorite. You can hear it at the website for Slumberland Records.
I was at those shows! I probably saw them three or four times at the Cat's Cradle. The first time, opening for Belly, then they headlined every time after that. They were always really nice to the fans, too. Too bad the college kids don't have stuff like this anymore.
Youtube has saved my collegiate memories and placed them in this delightful series of tubes called the intarweb. Bless them and bless mixooso for posting this. As for Sarah Shannon, search for her on myspace. She's still singing but in a whole different genre.
I miss this band so much. 57 Waltz was my favorite song for the longest time. What's Sarah Shannon's up to these days. (Plus they're from my home town!)
Now uv started readin dis dunt stop. This is so scary. Send this to 5 ova videos in 143 minutes. When ur done press F6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is scary cause it actually works. If u break the chain u will have problems with relations p.s for the next five years x-x-x
that bloody banner telling me i've won a plasma tv is ruining my enjoyment of this video. how - how, pray - can i put a bullet through the head of that damnable banner?

Try expanding your horizons beyond "U VS ME" and get a little bit more musically intelligent, because you seem to like corny cliche music thats marketed to TEENAGERS.

I guess you're right though. Ashlee Simpson and the Backstreet Boys are musical geniuses and deserve our respect. They were marketed well, so they are musically talented by default
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM

What kind of music is this anyway! Poor production, no real beat to it, Gloomy, depressing, song and video was made in one day probably! Maybe these guys were the opening act for some little hick town festival. Yeah id much rather hear Fred Dursts voice over this crude and unusual music! At least the real Crazytown has some melody to it! Isnt that what music is about? Melody?
VanCityKyle 3 years ago
Haha. Fred Durst. Dude, you're a douchebag in every sense of the word. Velocity Girl is not the greatest example of indie, this song doesn't do that much for me, but Limp Bizkit took their influence from early 90s grunge/alternative and old school rap. All of that is indie. So kill yourself.
FuckingStanz 3 years ago
So far nobody is buying your albums! Never even heard of this shit outside of Youtube! Yeah my favorite artists are Eminem, Coldplay, U2, John Mayer, is there anything wrong with that!
VanCityKyle 3 years ago
Who the hell says I make albums? You're so reactionary. It's ironic that you say "open your ears to everything" when you're the one that's shut off and refuses to acknowledge anything outside the mainstream whereas I embrace music from any corner, including the mainstream. It's not my fault that the percentage of phony non-musical shite in the mainstream is considerably higher than that of outside.
FuckingStanz 3 years ago
You are just kind of beyond hope. You are so far from being "enlightened". You strike me as a real "average Joe" that is scared of what he doesn't understand. This single video/song does not embody indie music. It's ridiculously diverse. All of the mainstreams ideas came from either underground music or classic/old music from back when the mainstream actually embraced real ARTISTS up until the 80s or so when novelty commercialized shit started to dominate, s'why the underground exists
FuckingStanz 3 years ago
Oh give me break, thats just another cliche cop out! If a song is catchy and has a good beat and its a good song than who the fuck cares. Listen if you have a problem with Maintstreem America than go live in a fucking cave. "Close Minded Fucks"......... Just shut up and deal with it! Im so beyond hope, yeah right!
VanCityKyle 3 years ago
It's funny that you're so proud of Eminem, Coldplay, U2 and John Mayer as examples of commercial music, failing to realize that they themsleves do not agree with your logic. They all would tell that a large majority of what influenced them and what they listen to on their spare time is a lot of obscure music. U2, for instance, worships Joy Division. Coldplay were influenced by Jeff Buckley. Eminem would list countless underground rappers.
FuckingStanz 3 years ago
Hey news flash, i listen to Jeff Buckley and Joy Division. They werent/arent that underground! Yeah but U2 worshiped the Stones too. And Coldplay worshiped the Beatles and Oasis. Eminem also was into 2pac and Biggie! Oh and i never said that underground is all negative, but the reason alot of these acts are underground is because there music isnt on a certain level yet. You just keep on opening one can of worms after another! Theres nothing you can say to prove me wrong. im shaming you to death.
VanCityKyle 3 years ago
You've got it wrong. It has nothing to do with being "on a certain level." Lmfao. You are so clueless to how things work. It's marketability. When you're predominately marketing faux-coolness to predominately to kids, sheer quality of music is less than important. A song also has to fit into the verse chorus verse structure, and nothing that goes over the heads average Joe. You see, mainstream music always takes in the lowest common denominator. It has to be as watered down as possible.
FuckingStanz 3 years ago
If you honestly are 'black and white' or 1-dimensional to believe all mainstream music is on "another level of greatness", I sincerely hope you aren't looking for a career in music or considering breeding. A lot of incredibly technically, melodically, dissonant, pure, artistic, music doesn't make it on the radio for all those reasons - it's too complicated for mass audiences. They just wanna hear an average rock song. Recycled ideas. Predictability. Something that they will eat.

of all the bands that used to come up to boston & play tons of shows, they were the most real & fun to be around. again, i'd help haul their gear up the any amount of middle east stairs or through any blinding vermont snowstorm. y'all probably missed the velocity girl, swirlies & kudgel show in Burlington, VT. too bad, i guess most of you kids were busy being born. i ride into battle in slumberland every night upon my trusty velocity girl pillow case. ride on for beauty! ride on for chimp rock!

That last was directed toward the one generation is all that is good people out there. As for VG, there good, but they never put anything out that mad me look twice. It was nice to hear, in a time filled with heavy distortion, some clean guitar, but they were so, I suppose, uninspired...
Asnem 3 years ago
timleery: you're right on. The whole shoegazing scene was terrific but velocity girl were one of the better bands stateside. But why bother classifying them into a genre? They made very likeable, unpretentious indie rock that stands the test of time. The good old days....I'm kinda happy I caught them while they were at their peak
dcalvitti 4 years ago
I wouldn't classify Velocity Girl as shoegazer. Shoegazer's guitars were a lot more fuzzed out (such as My Bloody Valentine, early Lush or Ride). As far as British musical styles go, VG is probably closer to the C86 scene (which makes sense given that they were named after a Primal Scream song).
Maybe it's just me getting old, but I'm beginning to think of the late '80s/early '90s as the glory days of college radio (where the likes of VG were in good rotation)

To say the 90 had the best music, I have to say you need to think in terms less narrow. Sure it was good, but today we have The White Stripes, new Modest Mouse, Portugal the Man, Apples in Stereo, Wolf Parade, Mars Volta, Coheed, and so many others.
Good bands are putting out still out there making great music. I suppose you're just not listening.
Asnem 3 years ago
You're right, to a certain extent. As Bill Drummond (ex-KLF) said, there's nothing more sad than a middle-aged man thinking the music of his youth was the pinnacle and that there's nothing worth listening to now. I still love VG, but I'm also loving the Long Blondes, VHS or Beta, The Kills, Los Campesinos!, etc.
That said, Coheed is a trainwreck. I'd rather listen to Nickleback.

jangle-pop, soft and sophomoric, in my opinion. Perhaps for a different era and time, but oh my, kids today are listening to much more sophisticated stuff; violent, hard, emotionally dark...and the "jangle pop" or indie scene today is obsolete; hybrid music has taken over and so has the business machine.
drewlsy 4 years ago
If by sophisticated you mean over-produced I would agree with you. I'll go along with violent and dark too but don't forget self-pitying and self-loathing. All those things don't make today's music any better than this "jangle-pop". While VG wasn't complex it was fun and original. Dark music has it's place (I'm a huge fan of Adore), creativity and originality does as well and in my opinion, it's exactly what most modern music is lacking in.
twilightmind75 4 years ago 3
Perhaps, "sophisticated" may not have been the best word-choice to describe the characteristic of what I deem as modern music, especially within the context of comparison. May I also stress that I'm not saying one is "better" than the other either. I was harsh on VG (this vid p'ed me off actually- what is this? "Suburbanite Bash 2000"!? Your points are well taken. We'll just say, there once was a time when VG ruled the world - a gentler place then politically, socially, and psychically.
drewlsy 4 years ago
Last year that Kelly Clarkson song 'Since you've been gone' was a huge hit and when I heard it the first time I flipped out because it sounded so much like a bad VG rip. There will always be all sorts of music being produced, but to me from post-punk to 1992 was kind of a golden age, now most new bands I hear sound like a version of something from this time period.

I think their best song was My Forgotten Favorite. You can hear it at the website for Slumberland Records.
