I cannot do this method. I have tried many times. Stuff slides around. Then you are left with a hunk of uncut, but edible onion that still have to cut up.

At this point in my life, I’ve said fuck it, and pay for the pre-diced onions at my local grocer. 

“I can’t be sure any one of these won’t surprise me with a steady stream of vomiting and/or diarrhea”

That’s actually the fifth option on the new secret menu for people looking to lose weight!

And if you are interested, AND I KNOW YOU ARE, I also did this for Nevermind. I left Teen Spirit at the beginning because it is objectively a good album opener and, frankly, it gets it out of the way. I added Aneurysm (my favorite Nirvana song), because leaving it off made no sense, and I subbed out Polly and…

This approach significantly helps out Serve the Servants, to my ear. It sounds sprightlier and has a little more pep follow HSB.   

And, I will add that the In Utero drums sound like Steve Albini drums. This weird fetishism of “natural” sounding drums or guitars or whatever is pretty misplaced. Albini definitely had his “tricks” to manipulate the recording to reflect what HE thought most accurately reflected the “live”, band-in-a-room sound (and…

And motherfucking ANEURYSM, objectively their best song. But I am a punk guy, so Been A Son/Turnaround/Son of A Gun/Mollys Lips/New Wave Polly were 100% up my alley. Seriously, I’d listen to the first 8 songs plus Aneurysm most days before Nevermind. And real talk, the Peel Session recordings are some seriously hot…

If you ask 100 people what their favorite album is — the one they have the closest musical connection to and always go back to - 90 of those people will name an album that they discovered between the ages of 15 and 21. It is almost impossible to separate the intensity of emotions and hormones of that age with what you…

The drums on Nevermind hit way harder.  And that’s thanks to the litt/vig/wallace combo.

Wow, the defensive man babies are out in force in this comment thread

France Farmer and Very Ape are the most underrated songs on the album. I think Rape Me is lazy — regardless of what explanation/justification of it you believe. And I CANNOT abide Dumb or Pennyroyal Tea. ESPECIALLY Pennyroyal Tea.

I think the sequencing of the album also didn’t do it any favors. Serve the Servants is…

If you were cool, you knew Incesticide was the best Nirvana release. 

I get really fucking irritated when video game ads come on. I either check my phone or change the channel. I literally hate video game ads. They try to sell them like they are movies or some shit. Other than Call of Duty, the only video game commercial I can remember is the one with the completely out of place barely…

I love how the Russian announcer just sounds totally disgusted.

This review was weird. This episode was clearly better than the last one.

And holy crap, how did I forget to list UFOFU’s 10" from that year of crazy good Dallas music. This was the first band of the Curtis brothers of Secret Machines fame:

Also, this was the year of Unsane’s best album, and fittingly the one that actually got some MTV airtime:

Good God damn, Blue is one of my all time favorite songs.

Also, very glad to see the Old 97s on here. the ‘94-97 period was absolutely nuts for the north texas music scene. In addition to Old 97's Wreck your life in ‘95, you had Hagfish’s ...Rocks Your Lame Ass (featuring Zac Blair, later of Gwar and Rise Against fame), Funland’s “The Funland Band” (hey that’s Will Johnson…

Oh, man, hello, Luna’s Penthouse. Classic.
