I often go through Spotify binges, and theyâre understandableâjust music I listened to a lot when I was younger. There can be weeks of Guns ân Roses or the first Klaxons album or Tool (not on Spotify), some Billy Joel and Madonna. But the most perplexing thing of all is the Gin Blossoms. Â
I never listened to Gin Blossoms before. I donât own any of their music; they meant nothing to me growing up. I understand they have a song in Empire Records, which was an important movie for some people, but not for me. Their career overlapped the times when I was a child, living in the Soviet Union, or unaware of FM radio. There is no reason why I should want to listen to the Gin Blossoms.
But when âHey Jealousyâ comes on at Shop Rite, Iâll browse the bread aisle until it ends. Itâs not my favorite, but I love it. When Iâm half-watching How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days on E!, and âFollow You Downâ plays at the end, Iâm so delighted. I love that song.
Gin Blossoms are not a one-hit wonder, if youâve ever thought that. Spotify has both of their best-of albums: The Best of Gin Blossoms 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection, and Outside Looking In: The Best of the Gin Blossoms. They also have a lengthy discography, though Iâve never listened to it. The only songs I like are âFound Out About You,â âFollow You Down,â âTil I Hear It From You,â and âHey Jealousy,â and I just play these on repeat for a few days every couple of months. I donât know why.
