    When I first saw the video, which depicts Bayone (NJ, I believe) High, I had a weird tie to it because its where my cousins attended high school while my uncle, who was nearing the end of his career in the Air Force, was briefly stationed there.

    And your hair? Wash it at least once every two weeks. Once every two weeks.

    Wow, that was one of the lamest alternative songs of the 90s, right up there with "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers.

    Primitive Radio Gods "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" was just as lame as "Popular" and "Pepper."

    God, there were a lot of lame alternative rock songs in the late 1990s.

    See, there's where you're wrong. Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth was awesome.
    My freshman year roommate in college was obsessed with that song, and always made me play the MP3 on my computer.

    I always enjoyed the Crash Test Dummies' "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm."

    And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall, tell him he played a great game; tell him you liked his article in the newspaper.

    Perhaps no song gives a worse representation of the band that wrote and performed it than "Popular." The only other contender I can think of is Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta."

    No other Nada Surf song sounds anything like this one, and the band's past couple of albums are outstanding. I'm really looking forward to their new album in February.

    Dynamite Hack's "Superfast" belongs in the team picture.

    Before Sugar Ray went all suckstatic, they were a metal/hardcore band. "Fly" stuck out like a sore thumb on that album.
