I watched part of The Crow last night (yeah, just part...we had to turn it off it was so bad) and was struck by how much of a solidified, historical aesthetic the '90s already has, just as much as the '80s or the '70s are a static time capsule of cultural silliness. Yes, it was when I saw the faux-wet goth haircut of that "Craven" guy (real subtle name there, excellent foreshadowing) that I experienced the Proustian recollection and realized that I'm no longer "becoming a man", I'm just "a man". The time of Jnco jeans and Darias is over. And it was a simpler time, was it not? No 9/11, no three simultaneous wars, no economic disaster and no Snooki. Listen to these mp3s and pine for these more pastoral days of yore. Read along with the clips here.
