hootie

The crew is back after a bit of a break.  It's a grab bag of topics as we're (of course) discussing show favorites Taylor Swift, Hootie, the Hulkster, plus Celine Dion, Chuck E Cheese, who on staff should go on Family Feud, our legacies, Toby Keith, the Grammys, the Super Bowl, and the sermon on the mount!

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my ninth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, titled "Flagpole Sitta," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter H.

My intro includes a reprise of the scrap of "At the Closing of the Year" from the "Toys" soundtrack arranged by Hans Zimmer. (link: https://bit.ly/3UaASsX) I shared a passage in Ep. 91 of my VideoFuzzy podcast, but I felt it had gotten a little overproduced and I wanted to take a cleaner, more bare bones run at it here.

Under Title Track, I talk about "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger (https://bit.ly/425uCoB) and other songs on their 1997 LP release "Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?"

In Lost Tracks, songs that did not transfer properly from one PC to the next, I added "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)" (1972) by The Hollies back into my collection, and talk about it alongside their 1966 hit "Bus Stop."

In my Influences segment [full LPs], I talk about The Heart Throbs' "Cleopatra Grip," and Hootie and the Blowfish's "Cracked Rear View," highlighting "Not Even the Trees" (https://bit.ly/4b4GMlz)

In my Breakouts segment [multiple tracks] I talk about Halestorm's "I Miss the Misery" and their cover of "Bad Romance."

In my Sparks segment [single tracks] I talk about Hootie and the Blowfish and Helmet w/ David Yow's contributions to the Led Zeppelin tribute compilation "Encomium." Also, Hole's cover of "Gold Dust Woman," Henry McClintock's "Big Rock Candy Mountain," The Hilltoppers' "P.S. I Love You," and Highly Suspect's "My Name is Human" (https://bit.ly/47LCoow)
