Super Deluxe?!? What does this mean???
It means that there's 55 songs, 35 of which you probably don't even want to bother listening to.
But hey, when I was a kid I loved the shit out of that album and it's pretty cool reliving it 20 years later.
Makes me feel as old as a fuck, but what you gonna do?
When I was younger and used to visit Vancouver we'd always demand the car radio be tuned to the Fox. I laugh about it now because the Fox is a joke, but if you grew up in Vernon and listened to their radio you would understand why we got so pumped up about it. Instead of listening to the hits of Bobby Brown and Sinead O'Connor we were going to get nothing but rock! The idea of a rock station that played only rock was the greatest thing us kids could have ever asked for.
I think I started to figure out that the Fox was a bit of a joke even before I moved here because every time we tuned in, without fail, they played 'The Day I Tried To Live' by Soundgarden. Not that this is a horrible song or anything (definitely not, compared to the Nickelback they play now) but when I kept hearing the same song it seemed as if they weren't trying hard enough. Especially when that song became a few years old and they still insisted on playing it every time we tuned in. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence. Maybe they were trying to tell me something. Maybe every time I went to Vancouver it was the day I tried to live!
No connections have been made between me hearing this song on the radio every time I came to visit Vancouver and me living here now. Well none that I know of anyways.
