1992: My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr., Blur and Jesus and Mary Chain
Jesus and Mary Chain is a great band. Honey's Dead is one of the best albums of that era.
Kill! Your! …Television!
Justine Frischman gets extra points cos she lived with M.I.A at the time.
I aw a Lush gig where they were having terrible technical problems, the amps kept shutting down and there were long breaks while they were getting set up again.
@avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus I grew up in a rural community and I'm willing to bet the figure is near 0%. Animals are big, heavy and difficult to control.

And here is the government's ham-fisted response
His accent is near perfect, but in the film his character has lived in Mexico so it doesn't matter that much. I saw it in Chile and no one commented on the accent.
SPOILER ALERT
The one in the movie is identical. They reproduced the original footage. In some cases though, the guys in the adverts are shown playing themselves and you can see that in some shots they are 20 years older.
You're kind of both right. The true economic success story started under democracy but the foundations for it were laid under Pinochet, who himself knew very little about economics and just let the technocrats get on with it. Having said that a lot of Chile's problems today are legacies of Pinochet. And anyone who…
Same as Greek.
She's grown up, go married and filed for divorce in the time it took Bob Saget to get around to saying ``we sat next to each other on a train".
