There was a Dawson's Creek test screening at my high school back in the day. I remember a bunch of us feeling disappointed by it at the time.

I don't really like Brian but I still feel it was kind of gutsy for the show to make him so unsympathetic. Brad completely otm about Ricky & Rayanne be (& Jordan lol). Show is def worth watching...

I like the show a lot more than Freaks and Geeks but I turned 16 the summer MSCL came out and was in my own baby doll dress, printed tights, floppy hair boyfriend phase. I even went to a Lemonheads/ Buffalo Tom/Gigolo Aunts show in Norfolk a month before MSCL premiered.
― Yerac, Sunday, 6 January 2019 01:06 (five years ago) link
i was in college by the time MSCL came on, and it was way too close to home/too near the bone -- but i watched it anyway!
then a few years ago i watched it again to see if i could handle it, and it was good. it's very internal and girl-focused.
i absolutely had no use for the soundtrack at the time but of these songs i liked "fountain and fairfax" the bestit's waaaaaay gnarlier than any buffalo tom song!!

also big shoutout for "Genetic" -- one of my favorite SY songs even though i knew it because a weird creep left the 100% maxi single on my windshield very angela chase moment there, wondering if i should be nice to the guy who's stalking me because he understands what music i like :-/
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Sunday, 6 January 2019 01:14 (five years ago) link
I haven't knowingly heard any of these songs except the SY one. I'll listen to this... tomorrow.

Djd this show take place in the thirtysomething-verse?
― i stan corrected (morrisp), Sunday, 6 January 2019 06:16 (five years ago) link
Don't know the show at all, but the Lemonheads, Whigs and Buffalo Tom were all major elements of my 1993. Gentlemen is a top 5 90s album for me, but I don't play "Fountain & Fairfax" outside of the album context. "Soda Jerk" is a great single, so that.
― dorsalstop, Sunday, 6 January 2019 14:15 (five years ago) link
have heard three of these songs, voted Whigs
― sans lep (sic), Sunday, 6 January 2019 21:20 (five years ago) link
Genetic cos it rules and it nearly broke up SY.

My vote probably goes for W. G. Snuffy Walden's theme, without the Homeland visuals. I've always loved it.

Nice -- Brain Krakow to thread. Coincidentally I'm writing this from Kraków.
I voted "Make It Home." It was an adequate amount of yearning to fit my mid 90s needs.
― Sam Weller, Tuesday, 8 January 2019 12:11 (five years ago) link
Yep, that's me, or at least the inspiration for my username. A lot of my online presence is mscl references and krakow always stuck the most. I identify with him, even if he is an asshole (but then I am too, sometimes, of course). When I give my email address (also krakow), people often ask if I'm Polish.

lol. i do not, but i enjoyed the trailer all the same
― rip van wanko, Tuesday, 8 January 2019 13:22 (five years ago) link
I remember watching a couple of those episodes. It wasn't as good.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 8 January 2019 13:23 (five years ago) link
only one of these songs is about a birthmark in the shape of a u.s. state

there's a great live version of Soda Jerk on here

Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Fall Down" was used in an episode where they sneak out to a concert. "Blister in the Sun" and "I Wanna Be Sedated" (as mentioned upthread) were also in episodes.
― LimbsKing, Tuesday, 8 January 2019 17:53 (five years ago) link
Still cannot believe they left Animal Bag off of this thing. So disrespectful to Animal Bag.

"I Wanna Be Sedated" might have been used in another episode, but its been a while for me
It's been 24 years but IIRC it was the song that Jared Leto's band (The Frozen Embryos) rehearsed in an episode...

Any write-in votes for Jordan Catalano's "Red"?

did they play at Tino's house?
― rip van wanko, Wednesday, 9 January 2019 13:23 (five years ago) link
Rayanne was supposed to be the lead singer (I wanna be sedated) but she got stage fright or something so Jordan had to take over.
