By the way, the commercial video that accompanied this song on initial release is one of the coolest clips from the '90s. No Doubt's a local Orange County band, and Gwen Stefani's live performance hipness is unsurpassed in that footage (here).

You and Me ... We Used to Be Together...
Ace commenter Kreiz suggested some Smashing Pumpkins after last night's Jessica Simpson entry. I checked around for some clips. I like "Tonight, Tonight," which was Kreiz's pick, but the embed was disabled. I'll find another and post it. That, along with "Zero" as well, which I really dig. Meanwhile, enjoy No Doubt's "Don't Speak." Especially good here is the acoustic guitar break solo. Always loved it in the studio version, and it's a cool stage setup at the viddy ... more sounds later:
Excellent choice. Stefani has always struck me as being centered, stable and modest- traits that are rare in the quirky world of popular music. I'm not sure what a Hollaback Girl is though. ??
ReplyDeleteThanks Kreiz! I'll get that Smashing Pumpkins up ASAP!
