As a wise man once said, "That is soooo 1991!"

I probably already mentioned this, but I recently unearthed my trove of cassettes of radio recordings I made throughout high school (97-01). I'm currently cataloging them in a Google sheet and digitally-recording some of the interesting in-between stuff I can find.

Why would your friend do that to him/herself?

This article brought back fuzzy memories of TV ads for that album. The track they played said something about "the Beastie Boys and the Dali Lama"?

I remember that clearly in the summer of '96.
The video even had the lyrics on the screen—except for the final verse for some reason.

I don't hate in the fact that it cycles past "hate" back to "meh"
