February 23: Various Artists - Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks
Man, Schoolhouse Rock! was awesome, wasn't it? This little piece of Gen-X nostalgia came out in '95 with then-hip bands like Blind Melon, Pavement and the Lemonheads doing covers of songs from the Saturday morning cartoons that taught while they entertained.
I would have to say my favorites on this disc are Better than Ezra's "Conjunction Junction," Biz Markie's "Energy Blues" (can't go wrong with some Biz) and "Electricity, Electricity" by Goodness.
And you know what? "I'm Just A Bill" is exactly right. That IS how a bill becomes a law.
So when's somebody going to do an album of songs from that little blobby guy on Saturday mornings who used to sing about eating cheese and making orange juice popsicles with toothpicks and your mom's ice cube tray? If you know the name of that character, please post it on our message board, because I've been wondering for about 10 years now.
