I stumbled upon this retrospective of the 90s today. Full of quotables, "I was there" moments, and brilliance.
Love this: "...With the Internet, we know about every promising band seemingly from the time it records its first demos. By the time the album comes out, the backlash has already kicked in. Now the challenge is to not be informed; surprising people has gone the way of putting current events on newsprint. It’s almost like we don’t want to be surprised anymore, because that means we’re somehow out-of-the-loop, or not savvy enough to be there first, which seems to be of the utmost importance when it comes to music these days."
A great read for those sitting at a relative's house, waiting for the turkey to burn.
