Alice In Chains

Theme song of the day:

Alice In Chains, "Heaven Beside You"

So I've been going through some serious '90's love for about a week or two now.  It started with Jay and I spending an evening of internetting together (so hot) and playing songs/music videos as we chatted.  That's how I remembered that Garbage existed, and like 5,000 other bands I used to be rabid about.  The thing is, I'm really too young for this music.  Most of that terrific grunge rock came out when I was about 7, jumping rope and forcing my cat into a doll buggy, and I caught on about 7 years later when I realized that there was other music that existed beyond my parent's music collection.  Gasp.

During those formative teen years I listened to a great alternative rock radio station where the DJ's didn't really like playing the alt rock of the late '90's and '00's, and clung to the music of the early to mid '90's like a life raft.  From what I understand, this station is now a Clear Channel station and of course, sucks.  Those old DJ's are probably working at Wal-Mart or playing Jonas Brothers music on their new Clear Channel stations.  What happens to old DJ's anyway?  Do they have a retirement home or something?

But I am re-discovering the awesomeness.  And sharing it with you.  It's sort of nice to remember that I wasn't always such a fucking hipster.
