Just got done watching Empire Records and had to look this up. I'm 28 now, but I sure do remember the 90s with much fond nostalgia. I love the internet, don't get me wrong, but there's a certain...mood/feel/aesthetic to the 90s that I've been yearning for a lot lately. It wasn't that long ago, but it was such a different time.
@souljubilant12 Very few people are interested in hearing instruments being played.They would prefer music to which they can dance wich is usually provided by nothing more than a drum machine. Also with shows like American idol where the only thing that matters is the voice [just one of many aspects of good music] songwriting and real musicians that play instruments are becoming very rare. It's really pretty sad
WAIT!...put down them pistolas!...POPULAR,as in that drivel you will hear on radio and T.V. is crap...but like any era,there IS good stuff out there...Just like during the Disco Blitz,you have to go find it in other places!..'nuff said.
@qukarlz I never said current music is shitty. I only replied to a comment that was made to someone else who had basically said that. I only gave my opinion as to why I believe every generation thinks that there music was the best music and it had to do with the memories attached to that music. If kids think the music they are growing up with is shitty, I feel sorry for them. They don't know what they are missing. I think music during your younger years is the most important in your life.
Really liked Empire Records and really love this song. The Gin Blossoms have the most beautiful harmonies in this tune. It came out right around when my marriage was ending. Like it says, I thought everything was cool, till I found out otherwise (and, boy, did I find out otherwise!).
the movie empire records was inspired by the music retail chain tower records. i used to hang out at my local tower records store till it closed down back in the late 90s. i had good memories of that place. The 90s were a bliss before all this stupid wars.

Crenshaw could write a song, the others I'm not so sure. Hopkin's sister said she found reams of songs in his apartment, who knows the origins of any song.
@candyrn16141 Yeah well wheather they had a hit or not Robin Wilson can write he wrote Allison Road from New Miserable Experience one of the best songs on the album
Was this a Doug Hopkins song? The guy died, and the group never had another hit, he was an alcoholic, perhaps they just stole the song, they never had another big song.
@candyrn16141 they never had another critically acclaimed song, they have a lot of other great songs, the songs "long time gone" "someday soon" "end of the world" "come on hard" "learning the hard way" "super girl" are all fantastic songs off of major lodge victory, and "wave bye bye" and "i'm ready" are great songs from no chocolate cake.... to say they never had another "hit" might be correct but they certainly still made good songs
@candyrn16141 No actually this song was written by the lead guitarist Jessie valenzuela , The lead singer Robin Wilson and Marshall Crenshaw.Crenshaw was a solo artist he had a hit in the 80's called Someday Someway and he played the part of Buddy Holly in the movie La Bamba

@IdiotPerspective When you where a kid there was people saying the same thing you do now about your 80's music. But the smart people understand that music change as everything in life. You can say you don't like new music, but don´t talk about what is "good" or "bad" music.
@TheMariamification Agreed. I've had about enough of this 'kids today listen to nothing but shit' argument. Christ, we were so damn perfect in 1995, weren't we? I have entire classrooms of students who listen to terrific music, and almost all of it is new.
This stupid, grouchy, crotchety youtube commenting habit needs to die.
@TheMariamification Every generation says the same thing. I believe it's because of the memories the music holds. We listened to that music when we were young and our lives where much simpler, we had no responsibilities and we were full of hopes and dreams for our future. Nothing bad could ever happen to us. Those feelings happen once in a lifetime and their tied to the music. Thats an extremely powerful bond. We hear the music and back come those youthful feelings. Thats what I think.
@Msdistarr well stated! The music we listen to in our youth, that time when we start growing up, was apart of our culture. The way we dressed, talked, and acted is all part of the music that when we listen to it as adults brings us back to those memories. I was a teen in the 80's and in my twenties in the 90's. I loved the Gin Blossoms and use to play it when my then toddler son was in the car with me. That is what this song brings back. That toddler is now 18. WOW!
@TheMariamification Of course you can talk about "good" or "bad" music, you dipshit. And of course there is no objective standard for "good" music but that doesn't mean we should give up these subjective evaluations and considerations of the qualities that characterize the categories. It's what the Humanities are all about. I guess we can't talk about "good" and "bad" literature, or theater either, we can merely say that we don't like it. What a terrible world to live in.
Thank you is in order to this band for contributing to the soundtrack to my life.Brian Adams had the summer of '69... these guys gave me the summer of '96!!
the mid 90's put out a diverse grouping of bands that related to us. It was an awesome mix of grunge, feeling, alternative, and fun bands that led to a great 4 year stretch of concert venues. You really can't find it in today's angst-filled and "pity me" surge of musicians. Its a sad ordeal.I would just cruise and hope that "Hey Jealousy" would come on somewhere in the mix with some Black Crowes and Toadies and it put me in the front seat of something more than just auditory enjoyment...

I love this band when they certain material: that written by the dead drunk guy. Those fantastic guitar hooks that begin all of their hits: that's him folks. And the lyrics about being completely strung out and desperate: yeah him.
man, the Gin Blossoms are def a band that shaped the 90s for me. just one of those bands who had singles on the radio that just made you want to turn it up and ride around.
I can so picture this song on the soundtrack of a 90's teen flick particularly about a guy swooning over some girl -- Oh wait, it already it. That's done. lol
I was a DJ on FM radio in on the French/German border and the lady in my life had just moved to the Dresden to do her master's degree. It was one of those times when you knew things were fading as the distance & time were taking their toll. Rumours were coming in that she had someone new. Such the coincidence that this song was on the charts and I was spinning the tune at that very same time.
The rumours turned out to be true. Where ever you are, pussycat, please know that it's all ok.
I'm tired of the same tired comments. There's more songs then just that are played on the radio. You just gotta look for it! You want some guitar action then listen to The Black Keys. Good music is out there!
@JackLivesTogether The Black Keys are not nearly as good as these guys or any of the other good bands of the 90s.Everytime I say there is no good rock today someone always says Kings Of Leon and The Black Keys. Talk about overrated.
@JackLivesTogether Perhaps. There has always been crappy music on the radio.It just seems that in addition to all the crap there was also good music in the past too until this last decade or so. I'm in my early 40s.I'm not exactly young but I'm also not just some old dude.In the past there were always bands I liked.I can't find any today.
@lob287 I have to agree with you there. If the Gin Blossoms were a band from this generation they wouldn't on the radio, sadly; it's just crappy rap and really bad produced pop songs/musicians.
@JackLivesTogether You are 100% correct. I like mostly rock but I can appreciate good pop as long it's well written and has guitar or a good instrumental behind it I am just amazed at how much of today's music has just an electronic beat to it or just a singer trying to show their range by hitting high notes.It's like no one knows how to write a complete song.I partly blame shows like American Idol which says."You can become famous overnight" How about developing your skills as a musician.
@JackLivesTogether Just to continue with my point.The trend now is T.V singing contests.I'm not suggesting everyone on the charts is from a TV contest but there is now an extreme emphasis on finding people that have a good voice.However I don't care if you have a voice like Elvis Presley John Lennon and Freddie Murcury if the songs you sing suck i don't want to hear them. So the record companies find the latest "voice" Susan Boyle a perfect example. I mean C'mon and she sells millions
@lob287 Just a recentish reference. I was pretty much agreeing with you in a humorous fashion. Sorry I can't find the video for you. Too many video bloggers have overpowered the search results.
This is a good song, but they tried way too hard to keep the jangle-pop thing going after Doug exited. No Chocolate Cake isn't jangle and it's awesome!
When this song came out in 96 it was continually played on the radio along with their other hit Follow you Down. I remember I often listened to the radio during this period. I would hear Counting Crows Pearl Jam,Blues Traveler,Toad The Wet Sprocket.The point is I would always find some good songs. Guitar oriented rock .Unless I turn on a classic rock station today I will hear no such thing. It's really sad.
@musicforchewfaygs Yes I realize that Hey jealousy was a big hit and in my opinion better than the two songs I had mentioned. I was just talking about 96 in particular when Till I hear it from you and Follow you down were on the charts at the same time along with the many other great bands I mentioned

I'm not sure if he just didn't speak english, and this was his very unsuccessful attempt at trying to do so OR was he chemically handicapped. But you know, I don't think he saw it the same way we did. It looks like he had something to say and by god he said it. We just don't know what it was. Still lmao!!

I'm really shocked at how most musicians today where 80's or 90's kids like we do but they don't know shit about good music.

@IdiotPerspective When you where a kid there was people saying the same thing you do now about your 80's music. But the smart people understand that music change as everything in life. You can say you don't like new music, but don´t talk about what is "good" or "bad" music.

@TheMariamification Agreed. I've had about enough of this 'kids today listen to nothing but shit' argument. Christ, we were so damn perfect in 1995, weren't we? I have entire classrooms of students who listen to terrific music, and almost all of it is new.
This stupid, grouchy, crotchety youtube commenting habit needs to die.

@TheMariamification Every generation says the same thing. I believe it's because of the memories the music holds. We listened to that music when we were young and our lives where much simpler, we had no responsibilities and we were full of hopes and dreams for our future. Nothing bad could ever happen to us. Those feelings happen once in a lifetime and their tied to the music. Thats an extremely powerful bond. We hear the music and back come those youthful feelings. Thats what I think.

@Msdistarr well stated! The music we listen to in our youth, that time when we start growing up, was apart of our culture. The way we dressed, talked, and acted is all part of the music that when we listen to it as adults brings us back to those memories. I was a teen in the 80's and in my twenties in the 90's. I loved the Gin Blossoms and use to play it when my then toddler son was in the car with me. That is what this song brings back. That toddler is now 18. WOW!

@TheMariamification Of course you can talk about "good" or "bad" music, you dipshit. And of course there is no objective standard for "good" music but that doesn't mean we should give up these subjective evaluations and considerations of the qualities that characterize the categories. It's what the Humanities are all about. I guess we can't talk about "good" and "bad" literature, or theater either, we can merely say that we don't like it. What a terrible world to live in.

the mid 90's put out a diverse grouping of bands that related to us. It was an awesome mix of grunge, feeling, alternative, and fun bands that led to a great 4 year stretch of concert venues. You really can't find it in today's angst-filled and "pity me" surge of musicians. Its a sad ordeal.I would just cruise and hope that "Hey Jealousy" would come on somewhere in the mix with some Black Crowes and Toadies and it put me in the front seat of something more than just auditory enjoyment...

I was a DJ on FM radio in on the French/German border and the lady in my life had just moved to the Dresden to do her master's degree. It was one of those times when you knew things were fading as the distance & time were taking their toll. Rumours were coming in that she had someone new. Such the coincidence that this song was on the charts and I was spinning the tune at that very same time.
The rumours turned out to be true. Where ever you are, pussycat, please know that it's all ok.

@JackLivesTogether The Black Keys are not nearly as good as these guys or any of the other good bands of the 90s.Everytime I say there is no good rock today someone always says Kings Of Leon and The Black Keys. Talk about overrated.

@JackLivesTogether Perhaps. There has always been crappy music on the radio.It just seems that in addition to all the crap there was also good music in the past too until this last decade or so. I'm in my early 40s.I'm not exactly young but I'm also not just some old dude.In the past there were always bands I liked.I can't find any today.
lob287 8 months ago
@lob287 I have to agree with you there. If the Gin Blossoms were a band from this generation they wouldn't on the radio, sadly; it's just crappy rap and really bad produced pop songs/musicians.
JackLivesTogether 8 months ago 2
@JackLivesTogether You are 100% correct. I like mostly rock but I can appreciate good pop as long it's well written and has guitar or a good instrumental behind it I am just amazed at how much of today's music has just an electronic beat to it or just a singer trying to show their range by hitting high notes.It's like no one knows how to write a complete song.I partly blame shows like American Idol which says."You can become famous overnight" How about developing your skills as a musician.
lob287 8 months ago 3
@JackLivesTogether Just to continue with my point.The trend now is T.V singing contests.I'm not suggesting everyone on the charts is from a TV contest but there is now an extreme emphasis on finding people that have a good voice.However I don't care if you have a voice like Elvis Presley John Lennon and Freddie Murcury if the songs you sing suck i don't want to hear them. So the record companies find the latest "voice" Susan Boyle a perfect example. I mean C'mon and she sells millions

When this song came out in 96 it was continually played on the radio along with their other hit Follow you Down. I remember I often listened to the radio during this period. I would hear Counting Crows Pearl Jam,Blues Traveler,Toad The Wet Sprocket.The point is I would always find some good songs. Guitar oriented rock .Unless I turn on a classic rock station today I will hear no such thing. It's really sad.
