Anywho, time for Green Jellÿ.
The first time I bothered to pay attention to the band was in 1994 when they did the music for the SNES game
Maximum Carnage. I had seen the
Three Little Pigs video from their previous album
Cereal Killer, but didn't really care at the time.
Green Jellÿ tried to recreate the success of that track with
The Bear Song, the lead single off
333. Liking it I went and bought the album (in MegaStore in Täby - very hardcore), loved it, ripped it to a cassette and walked around school all day listening to it instead of paying attention to classes.
I subsequently bought
Cereal Killer too, which wasn't as good as
333, but somehow more fun. Green Jellÿ started as a joke band, and on
333 they had for some reason abandoned much of their humor, opting instead for more serious songs, which made up least half the album.
But whatever, the songs are still good, especially the heavier cuts which you can download below. In 1996 the members went their separate ways, but reunited last year.
I'm not exactly sure what attracted me to Green Jellÿ in the first place, perhaps it was the AMAZING album cover (it's so badass it hurts), or maybe I just enjoyed listening to a band no one else in my school had heard of. Everyone else was blasting
Smash by the Offspring, or Green Day's
Dookie, or random Nirvana stuff. It's in times like that you need a band in ridiculous Easter Island headmasks who sing about cow gods.
There was also the mystery aspect, as in those days you still had things like mystery. In this day and age nothing is obscure or exotic, everything is a click away. Which is why I have purposely never visited Green Jellÿ's Wikipedia page - I didn't know who the hell these people were and I still don't want to know.
As far as I know these guys and gals really
are from outer space, causing chaos and wreaking havoc wherever they go.
Good god, what a bunch of dribble, I'm just rambling. Not feeling inspired today, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Just download.
