Ashley Bristowe writes up Chris Turner’s Clark Standards Songlist, a compilation of the big hits at Clark Hall Pub, the engineering student-run bar at Crazy Go Nuts University where Turner and I used to DJ. The list covers Ashley’s stay there, 1991 through 1996, which overlaps significantly with mine (1987 – 1994; I DJ’d at Clark from 1989 through 1994). On the list:
- Jesus Built My Hotrod – Ministry
- Head Like a Hole – Nine Inch Nails
- Debaser – Pixies
- Cannonball – The Breeders
- Elephant Stone – The Stone Roses
- There’s No Other Way – Blur
- Loser – Beck
- Sabotage – Beastie Boys
- Jump Around – House of Pain
- Hobo Humpin’ Slobo Babe – Whale
- Been Caught Stealing – Jane’s Addiction
- Big Time Sensuality – Bjork
- Underwhelmed – Sloan
- Supersonic – Oasis
- Basket Case – Green Day
- Miss World – Hole
- Homeboy – Adorable
- Supernaut – 1000 Homo DJs
- It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) – R.E.M.
The list is pretty good, but needs Ween’s Push Th’ Little Daisies, Front 242’s Headhunter 3.0, Rick James’ Super Freak, KMFDM’s Godlike and They Might Be Giants’ Birdhouse in Your Soul for good measure.
