Paw – Jessie

In the first half of the 90's I learned I liked music. Like really liked music. So, yeah, I'm a grunge child.

I "discovered" Paw from a Road Rash video game soundtrack of all things. Remember "discovering" bands? I always felt such ownership of the bands I liked back then.

I think "Jessie" was their highest-charting tune, which means it probably didn't chart at all.

Did you know I started dating my wife in 8th grade? And her name is Jesse? She has really never appreciated my love of this song.

Smashing Pumpkins – Plume

this weekend, my visiting mother brought a large trunk that was full of all kinds of crap i thought long gone. we're talking, like, high school sophomore year papers, old notebooks, etc. as someone that generally disdains nostalgia, it was an extremely disconcerting experience.

Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

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...
