Fastball - “Out of My Head”

The first CD I ever bought was a Fastball CD. I also bought a SmashMouth CD at the same time, so clearly I was in the midst of a serious lapse in my mental state.

That said, this song (as well as “The Way”) is still an amazing song. I’m instantly transported back to my early- and mid-teens — back when I had no idea what this album’s name (“All the Pain Money Can Buy”) even meant.

Where were you when Fastball rose to semi-stardom? I wonder if they’re still around? And does anyone really care? Were there ever any die-hard “Fastball” fans, besides the teenaged losers who bought their CDs simply because they liked the band’s two singles?
