Pumpkins came out (are coming out?) with a new album. I will probably give it a chance. Stupid nostalgia.

Loading... To piggy back off of jobu, here is my favorite Beasites tune. This is as a result of Tip being prominently involved.

(3 votes, average: 7.67 out of 10)Loading... This is as close to a star grab as you'll get out of me. Nevermind was released Sept. 24, 1991 - I was 11 years old. It was my first "rock" album and it was a cassette*. After one listen, I flipped it back over and played it again. After about 10 listens, I began to understand that if there was stuff like this out there, then the world was a much bigger place than I'd previously comprehended. As such (and I'm not prone to hyperbole) Nirvana changed my life. Thanks for listening...

*Remember those? I have a 10-year-old nephew who had never seen one before last week...I almost choked.

i will also admit to this track being semi-omnipresent during the summer of `96, and that summer being awesome.

i hold no particular love for this song, nor the band (or ezra, whomever they are). however, this song takes me back to good times when the radio played this song far more than it deserved, and a night when a younger joe had comp tickets to these guys headlining a first ave show that we went to for no good reason, and the memories of said night that i won't get into.
