Dave Steed

Dave Steed is all about music; 80's and metal to be exact. His iPod will shuffle from Culture Club to Slayer and he won't blink an eye. He's never heard Astral Weeks but thinks "Dazzey Duks" by Duice is the bomb. It's an odd little corner of the world he lives in.

    I’ve never been a Gloria EsteFAN, but “Reach” is a rare example of a song that’s supposed to be inspirational (it was the theme of the 1996 Summer Olympics) that is actually effective. The tacked on percussion at the end is kinda brilliant, IMHO.

    Gloria Estefan is a beautiful and talented woman, but you just may have found the most beautiful picture of her ever taken. I scored the “Cuts Both Ways” cassette from the prize closet when I was a radio promotions intern – had such a crush.

    “Hooch” by Everything was a new one for me, had to check it out on YouTube to see if it was something I heard back then but forgot. Nope. Never heard of it. Then again, I lost track of pop music after ’96 or so.

    “Hooch” was big in that kind of jammy, kind of hip-hop, kind of 311-y way. Apparently, it was in the Adam Sandler flick “The Waterboy.” That explains it all.

    I lump them in with bands like Len, Citizen King, The Flys, that group that did the Tangerine Speedo song (or something close) – probably closer to Wheatus too… still a bit surprised it went all the way to #4.

    Actually, “Hooch” by Everything made it to #34, not 4 on the airplay chart. The group that did Tangerine Speedo was Caviar…

    That’s a moment of blindness on my part, missed both the “3″ and the airplay designation in the book. And yes, Caviar…I continually forget them even though I still own that CD.

    Hooch was still lingering on the charts when the switchover to allowing album cuts to hit the Hot 100 in December of 1998, so technically they also peaked at #69 on the hot 100.

    This week is dire, and too much Gloria Estefan puts me to sleep. But I just had to say that i think thou doth protest too much – it seems like every week you talk about how much you hate female vocalists, but every week you praise at least one on here, and these are their lesser hits! ;)
