While Sub Pop was serving up gems like Superfuzz Bigmuff and God’s Balls, they were also offering us Cat Butt and Swallow.

No.

Yes.

Looking back, maybe the American equivalent of Radiohead, but not quite as good.

Sorry, but this is gotta be the dumbest thing ever written on this forum.

Found it!

BTW there are now 29 instances of the word "cocksocket" in PRF 2.0 and what is left of PRF 1.0.

Seriously, it's still one of the most grey, depressing places I've ever visited.

I’ve visited Olympic NP at least once and sometimes twice a year over the past five years plus at least 3 other times between 2009 and 2015. It’s pretty bleak, even in August. Eureka, CA and Escanaba, MI have similar vibes but aren’t quite the level of depressing that Aberdeen/Hoquiam achieves.

Which is interesting to me, as only 50 miles away is one of the most heavenly landscapes on earth. Had young Kurt been able to don a pack and visit Enchanted Valley, the upper Hoh River, High-Divide and Burroughs Range, or even the North Coast of the park, I wonder what influence those experiences might have had on his adult life. Perhaps an illustration of how important a program like Outdoor School can be to kids from similar backgrounds growing up in the Northwest.

NC.

17-19 year old me got a lot of enjoyment and mileage from those first few albums.

Will still take In Utero out for the odd spin.

There's a reason why it happened to Nirvana and not Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Sugar, etc. They wrote the catchiest songs and sounded fucking huge, that's it. I still listen to them sometimes, other than the songs none of us really need to hear again.
