I have a couple of her records, I can’t remember if I have that one.

Streaming on Amazon Prime. I'm going to die.

“Well, this man is dead.”
“What killed him?”
“*glances at TV* My guess? Sideburns and bangs.”

I just started rewatching this. Brandon is such a judgy asshole. The Walshes are giving Minnesota a bad name.
The signifiers of wealth are hilarious though. Valet parking at school, school radio station, brick cellphones, absent parents. BMWs and mopeds (??).

It's quaint to see this kind of midwestern liberalism proudly asserting itself during the Poppy Bush Interzone

Also, Brenda tricks a 25-year-old guy, over several dates, into thinking she's 21-22 y/o. When he finds out the truth he gets angry and drops her straight home. Her reaction is 'Don't you think this is hard for me????' She runs into her mother's arms who tells her 'Its okay! Its okay!'
I mean, IS IT???

Damn, I didn’t remember that plot point at all! But I haven’t watched these since they were airing…

The rave episode, the Flaming Lips appearance but honestly maybe the musical moment that marks a time and place is right in the pilot where Brenda goes to that nightclub and Gene Loves Jezebel's "The Motion of Love" is what's on their soundsystem. (Especially since it was 1990 and that came out three years prior, but maybe that makes sense for the sleazy lawyer making the moves.)

I distinctly remember "Hippychick" and PSB's "So Hard" soundtracking a couple episodes.

Truly the Poppy Bush Interzone soundtrack!

I was too young to watch this at the time, but have been dipping in when I feel like some '90s cheese--so I tend to go straight to the "very special" episodes such as "Ashes to Ashes", where a Black family moves in next door and face hassles with the neighborhood private security. ("A scheduled April repeat of this episode was pulled from the air without notice following the Los Angeles riots because it was supposedly too controversial" sez Wikipedia.)
Having served their afterschool special role, this family is never seen again on the show.
A kind soul on the internet has done editing work to restore the original music back into the episodes and uploaded them onto Google Drive. If the email linked to my ILX account still existed I'd be happy to share the link, but alas.
