so i was talking with Chris Ford yesterday about Matthew Sweet coming to Des Moines on thursday and how I thought he put out a few amazing records including the fantastic "IN REVERSE" from 1999.. then it hit me that "In Reverse" is quite amazing but I bet it does not even crack the top 15 albums of that year. With such classics as 69 love songs, Ponyoak, Black Foliage, etc..
It seems like every band who put out a record in 1999 it was steller same with film!
Artist must have thought that y2k was going to blow us up into smithereens of electricity or something.. so they gave us the goods!
remember American Beauty, Magnolia, Virgin Suicides, Man on the Moon, Cider House Rules, Sweet and Lowdown, Girl Interrupted, Boys Don't Cry, Talented Mr. Ripley.. Damn now thats a good year.. All those movies are still and great today as they were the first time I saw them...
Same with many of the albums that came out that year.. Now films are here and gone in the matter of a couple weekends!
What gives..
GIVE US another Y2k scare and maybe we can bring back some classic art!
anyway I might try to go see Matthew Sweet on Thursday!
this one aint from 1999 but its one of my faves

The world's supposed to end in 2012. Maybe 2011 will be another great year.
