Your week in music from >10 years ago

Today, to commemorate me remember that goddamn Mountain Dew Rock song from Mellow Gold, I'd like to revel you in tales of two albums you need to go fucking buy right now:
 Mellow Gold, Beck and As Good As Dead, Local H.
You will of course recognize the following three songs as soon as you buy these albums:
Bound For the Floor, Local H
Eddie Vedder, Local H
Loser, Beck
 
But once you've gotten past that, lets talk about the real songs.  The ones worth listening to.
 
Up first: High-Fiving MF.  I'll refrain from just fucking posting the entire lyrics here, because they're pretty damn good.  Fucking damn good?  Anyways, I'll list out some topics this song covers:
Stonewashed jeans
High Five's, and motherfuckers
Commercialism
Bad Music
Bad Hair
Fat-asses
Steriods
Monster trucks.
That's the first verse. This song will challenge your thoughts of how often the word Fuck should be used in lyrics.  Fully challenge it.  It's also kind-of a hard rocking song.  
 Up Next: Fritz's corner
The first time I heard this song it was on a mix tape a friend of mine's half brother made for him.  A poorly labeled mix tape I might add.  We thought it was maybe a NOFX song.  I come to find out a couple years later that nope, this is a Local H song.  What's it about, pants you ask?  Sex.  Being horny and fairly lazy in the midwest in the 90's.  It's also about long segments of singing without much music to speak of.  That's what makes this song so good.  The rhythm and words along with the general sense of late 90's angst.  Go listen, you won't regret it.  I think.
 Freze Dried (f)lies and Lovey dovey are also pretty damn good, but for now go buy and I'll move on to mellow gold.
 
Mellow Gold.  Otherwise known as Beck's best album imho.  Why?  Because this album is FUCKING absurd.  Songs referencing trashpiles like dildos poking into the sky. Songs like Mountain Dew Rock (Fucking with my head), songs like Soul Suckin' Jerk- quite possibly the best whateverthefuckkindofmusic this is. 
Some gems from that song:
 "Puke green uniform on my back, I had to set it on fire in a vat of chicken fat"
"I tried to explain I was only tried to get warm ... too bad better bite the bullet hard slut.  I didn't have no teeth so I stole his gun..."
 
Ahhhh, yea.  Then Truckdriving neighbors downstairs.  Music about the people who would sell today's midwestern youth all their meth. 'nuff said. 
And finally, to wrap this up, "mutherfucker"  If nothing else, listen to that song.
 
Obviously, I'm consistent as fuck, and won't do another music blog, so enjoy!
