Everybody Can't Get That Damn Song Out of Their Head
I never would have even heard of The Seatbelts if it wasn't for Cowboy Bebop. When I first saw it on [as] years ago, what hooked me on the show was the haunting song over the end credits. For some time after I first heard it, I literally watched the show just so I could hear that song. Hell, I even learned the Japanese in the song phonetically so I could play it myself.
A little background: If you want to define grunge as liking Rock'n'Roll and wearing flannel I've been "grunge" since before there was such a thing. (like... uh... maybe, like.... 1985...) The rest of the world passed on to the next thing, but I was already there when all the rest of those folks got there, and I was still there when they all left. Consequently, the entire rave thing came and went without my even noticing really, barring me owning Vegas, but Nitrous Oxide was one of my favorite playstation games so that doesn't really count.
However, This past week I've been infected with an earworm of massive proportions. The premiere of Venture Brothers last Saturday featured a song I hadn't heard before. A rave song. A remix of a rave anthem from a time when I was hip-deep in Alice in Chains I'm given to understand. (If you think you know me well, ask me to tell you the story of the night that Dirt came out.) It's been stuck in my head for days now, to the point where I went to adultswim.com and watched the first five minutes of the Venture Brothers -- "Powerless in the Face of Death" about a jillion times.
The version of the song featured in the show is Aquagen ft Rozalla - Everybody's Free, a remix from 2002 with a harder beat and a harder synth sound that almost defines "rave music" in my mind, though I guess I can only judge by what I've heard blasting out of Keef's truck. Anyway, I've got it heavy rotation at the moment.
