I MISS THE NINETIES

I Miss the Nineties by The Winter Olympics

I watched Reality Bites three times last night
And it nearly made me cry.
Did we ever, honestly, actually act like that?
Wouldn’t we have just laughed at the grunge guy?

I miss the nineties
I miss the Megadrive
I miss Eric Cantona
I miss the X Files

It’s been too long since I last stared into your magic eyes
Although I never saw a thing.
Remember we stayed up all night when your Tamagotchi died?
I think a piece of me died with him.

I miss the nineties
I miss Nevermind
I miss Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
I miss Windows ‘95
I miss Bill and Ted
(They were excellent)
I miss cashing cheques in pubs
I miss singles on cassette
I miss the Millennium bug

I miss the nineties
I miss the dot com boom
I miss the Melody Maker
I miss Terminator 2
I miss the people that we were
I miss the ones we might have been
I miss the friends that we have lost
I miss the bands that we have seen.

Sing along with the video:

SEEN YOUR VIDEO

Up by public demand (well, we got a couple of emails about it) the full Director’s cut of I Miss The Nineties featuring The Winter Olympics and Winona Ryder is now available on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQG5KIUYVRk. The record’s out on March 14th. Tell a friend!

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]

I MISS THE NINETIES

So this is the New Year. And it’s 1994, right? Oh.

Here’s a lo-fidelity look at the FINALLY FINISHED video for I Miss The Nineties (out through Office Rock on March 14 on cd, download, cassette, DVD and VHS). Hope you like it (and that it works). I can’t begin to tell you how grateful we are for your support these last twelve months. We promise to do our best to pay you back in 2011.

COMPETITION!

How many 1990s things can you spot in the video? Send us your list here. The person with the longest list on March the 14th (when the record comes out, remember?) wins free entry into every single Winter Olympics show for a year.

We appreciate that, at present, that doesn’t sound like much of a prize, but hell, who knows? If we get booked for Glastonbury, you’re going to be in the money, and we’re going to seriously regret our soppy blogging at two o’clock in the morning on New Year’s Day.

Happy New Year, everyone.

love you loads
