I listened to it! It’s overall a little too, uh, theater kid-ish for me personally, but it’s definitely a powerful record and I did playlist some songs.

 

“Hey Jealousy” and 10 Other ‘90s Songs You Have No Idea How the Hell You Know All the Lyrics To

 

Just listened to Semisonic's album Feeling Strangely Fine for the first time as an adult.

It was mostly a slog of mediocre songs. "Closing Time" and "Singing In My Sleep" are really the only songs I liked, which was my opinion as a kid too, when I owned this CD. A couple of the b-sides are better than a good chunk of the album tracks.

 

I like “Secret Smile” too. The beggining of Singing in my Sleep until the chorus always reminds me of Death Cab for Cutie.

 

For fun, I made a mixtape of some of the most nostalgic 1997 songs for me. Songs I’d see on VH1 top 10 countdowns every day after school. Next up is 1998!
