Just gotta ask, since you've got about a decade on me, did the 90s look just as dreary to you then as they do to me now?

Also, I can offer up Welsh heavy metal, but no one wants to hear it.

I loathe Soundgarden.

The 90's were awesome and miserable, because I was young.

They were bad, but not as bad as the 80s.  The 80s was like being dragged across sandpaper with no pants on.

I was broke as hell all through the 90s.  Scraping noodles off the shelf broke.  It was like trying to walk with concrete blocks strapped to my feet.

Soft spot for me. That whole Seattle thing is what made me pick up a guitar in the first place. Then I became a metalhead. Then I became a  metalhead cum whatever sounded good regardless of genre.

Our new Nazi-tard, Brother Nihil, is shaping up nicely.

I haven't laughed this much since VoT pissed off, way back in 2005.

Little Orange's reaction to the church renovation:

"It's about time someone painted it black".

:?

Stones fan?

I doubt she knows they exist...

This must be remedied.

She'll just get that damn song stuck in her head all the time like I do.

Parental revenge, ITT.

Twidsister used to love it when I would drive her around and play Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. I suspect she would listen to it now for nostalgia purposes.

My daughter listens to everything from Leslie Gore and Patsy Cline (paleolithic emo) to whatever bands are big these days (I've recently lost track, and even more recently stopped caring).

Twidsister loves Pink and other things I'm unfamiliar with. I remembered we were trying, in her teens, mind you, to recapture that musical commonground (mostly impossible). I discovered that Soundgarden bored her, but she quite liked RATM. To the extent that I know she still has my copy of Battle of Los Angeles, deny it though she will.  :lulz:

Soundgarden makes me want to punt hamsters into traffic.

It's a born after 1980 thing.


That makes sense.

There are a couple of Soundgarden tunes I like, but as the "Seattle Sound" went, i thought they were one of the least interesting bands, maybe slightly more interesting than Pearl Jam. 


I was more into the actual, raw, "grungey" bands like Mudhoney and of course Nirvana.

I am just about curious enough to ask, but not 100% certain I actually want to know. Because then I'll know. And you can't unknow.

Yeah.  It's not 100% certain that it is what I think it is, but the context and a particular word that is used are...suggestive.

On the plus side, it seems my worries were unfounded.  Two suspensions today, just for last night's behaviour.  The additional incident is being investigated and I may know more this afternoon.  The two suspended are also implicated in the incident, and so it is very possible their suspensions will become permament.

I'm glad they don't slack on the discipline there, it means that perhaps after the first couple of months the students will have some sense of staying in line.
