Oh my god, so I'm NOT the only one obsessed with this! This is awesome. Although, I must admit this quote does kind of sum it up: "It's possible the reason it was fascinating was the morphine," admits Horwitz.

As someone with two kids in this bracket:
Remaster? How about just A master? The early SST stuff just sounds like absolute shit. I can't even listen to the first few Husker Dü albums with headphones, it's a goddamn brain drill. And not in a good way.
Yeah, I love The Living End. If for no other reason, it's great that you can hear well-recorded versions of some of the original Hüsker Dü songs for once. (The original albums are notoriously tinny—it's like bass hadn't been invented yet.) It also f'ing ROCKS—the guitar solo on "Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill" sounds…
Yeah, Russian River makes the best [insert style here] out there. They're almost impossible to beat.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of their IPAs. Their Monk's Blood (pictured) is good; sort of a dubbel/Belgian strong dark ale hybrid that's somewhere in the 9% ABV range, if memory serves. The Sneak Attack Saison is also good if for no other reason then hey, it's saison in a can!
She is almost frighteningly good, isn't she? And since I'm assuming she's actually playing the violin in these episodes, the level of talent that kid has is just insane.
And if she moves to SoCal and buys a $50K house in 1970, she now has another $3.5M to play with.
I believe this tour is officially called "NoDoz Presents: Mumford and Zzzzzzzzzz…"
I actually really like Ting.
A few years out of college, where did you go becomes what can you do—degrees aren't as important as you think.
Exactly. That's why we still have slavery and women can't vote.
Ain't gonna happen.
Yeah, that to me is the real tragedy. As I tell the local teen wannabe Che's, what makes more sense if you hate the battleship: Throwing bottles at the battleship from the shore, or becoming the captain of the battleship and sinking it? It's much easier to destroy the machine from the inside than the outside.
I almost fell out of my chair when I read that. The only thing "tragic" about 4 Non Blondes is that the sound engineer didn't chain the band in the studio and burn it down the first time that wailing faux-hippie shit came oozing out of the monitor. So many ears could have been saved.
Their "jingle" for the Pontiac GTO is pretty awesome. Quotes because it's like 3 minutes long.
Ditto. Psychpathia Sexualis is OK, but WAAAAAY overproduced. Sounds like a Revlon commercial or something. But they've put out like 1,398 albums, so pick your fave.
Spotify FINALLY has most of the Eddie and the Hot Rods albums. Oh, happy day! Pub rock power pop heavyweight champs, for sure.
Oh? Do tell.
It's not zoning—there's just nowhere else to build. San Francisco is one of the densest areas in the United States.
