What The Hell Were You Thinking

Show Notes Episode 497:Come As You Are This week Host Dave Bledsoe was asked by a trendy New Yorker where he thrifted all those “awesome vintage clothes” and told them WalMart in 1997. (Clearly a lie, like he could fit in the size he wore in 1997!) On the show this week we examine the music and style that came to define Generation X: Grunge. Along the way we discover that Dave has always had terrible taste in music. (He has a Phil Collins poster above his bed!) Then we take a look at the history of the city that became synonymous with Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs. (And also Grunge) We move on to the story about the Zine that launched the label that launched a scene, Sub Pop.  We meet the band that launched the Seattle Sound into the mainstream and how everyone imitating that band had an entire generation dressed like an unemployed lumberjack.  (So much flannel) Finally we learn how Grunge was far more short lived than most people remember.
