CIVL Station Manager Aaron Levy welcomes you all back to UFV, and has a few tracks to get you in the mood to break the books back out.
Moist — “Resurrection”
Did you know they reunited in Vancouver this holiday? Who’d have thought!? I didn’t, and I was shocked when I found out. This was probably their biggest hit, since “Leave It Alone” was too much of a power ballad to QUITE crack the late ‘90s favorites lists. Both rule.
Deftones — “Back at School”
I think this is the first rap-rock song I was ever really interested in. For a band that regularly covers Weezer songs live, this turn is really surprising, given that it sounds like singer, Chino, is literally spitting raps all over the twinkling riffs and bombardment of bass. Good stuff.
Limp Bizkit — “Faith”
I never appreciated the George Michael version until I revisited it with this live number when I picked up the Family Values ’98 tour disc. It’s also the record that introduced me to Incubus, then more S.C.I.E.N.C.E than Drive, and to how good Follow The Leader was from Korn. Noice.
Marianas Trench — “Celebrity Status”
It’s one of those songs that I might only get ‘addicted’ to because of the images that go along with it in the context where I became familiar with it first, in this case the UBC lip-dub; youtube that if you haven’t already seen the exquisite wonderment put into it.
