"Debaser" exemplifies this, to me. For the first few seconds you think you're going to get another "Here Comes Your Man"-type song, then this crazy man starts playing the guitar and shrieking at you. At times the attendants manage to calm him down (the "quiet parts"), but he keeps getting away from them.

So, the parking at USC is the worst experience. Took over 2 hours to get out of the parking spot to get in line to get out of the parking lot.

I love Debaser and Tame back to back to start that album. I always loved the second verse of Debaser when the band cuts out and it’s just Frank and his guitar howling.
And then “Pookie….I…..think….you….TAME” gets stuck in my head all day. I’ve seen the lyrics elsewhere saying he says cookie but I like the way I hear it.

yeah not seeing it as a thing with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" other than as possibly thematically or in terms of being a rip on another song.
now "Come As You Are" on the other hand

Y'all have to excuse me, but for me personally the definite version is the one from the Graveland sessions of Jimmy "The King" Brown.

I'm not an avid watcher, my brother coaches, all of my nephews played high school levels, my youngest nephew got a scholarship for it. But I go when the Premier League Teams come through.

Yeah the "UK Surf" version of that song was always my favorite. It is hard to overstate how much getting the soundtrack to that film (and the film itself blew me away at the time) affected my musical tastes. I didn't even know what alternative music was until then. All we had in eastern Long Island were local classic rock stations and 99.1 WPLR out of Hartford that skipped across the LI Sound.

Dave Grohl said he ripped off all of his parts in Nirvana songs from 70s disco, so it wouldn’t be shocking that other parts were “borrowed” too.
Nitpicking douche alert: WPLR is New Haven so it makes sense why you got it on Long Island.

X, Owned by Elon Musk, Brings Antitrust Suit Accusing Advertisers of a Boycott
The company claimed that members of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media coordinated to dissuade brands from advertising on X.
TLDR: Elon is attempting to sue advertisers for not advertising on Twitter. This is, of course, after he told advertisers to “f*** off” when concerns were raised about their ads showing up next to slurs and hate speech on Twitter.
Of course, this is the free market (something you’d think he’d be aware of, given he’s a billionaire), so suing someone for taking part in the free market is certainly a choice.

Yeah, but "They're not coming for us, they're coming for you. We're just standing in the way." LOL

I'm really not sure where he's going with it. Even if it somehow goes to court, exhibit A will be this video:

Brown U’s station was considered one of the best for “college radio” which is what they called alternative before it became a thing. College radio was about the only place you could find that music on the radio but it wasn’t alternative as it’s thought of now, it was genuinely anything that was an alternative to what was normally on the radio. Electronic, rap, punk…all were part of it in the late 80’s into early 90’s. Either that or a friend made you a tape.
Sometimes I could catch Brown’s station, they would have the top 100 of all time every NYE. “How soon is now” by the Smiths was number one every year in the early 90’s despite it being a few years old by then.
Otherwise I think we grew up with many of the same stations. I had one from Boston I could get too, forgetting right now but it was a mix of classic rock and newer rock.

I'm just here to report that the late, great Richard Simmons never wore a headband. You heard it here first. That is all...

That's wild. Definitely a Mandela effect going on, because it's hard to imagine him without it. Even the cheesy Halloween costumes come with the headband.

No one should care, but it’s late night, I can’t sleep, and I got a laugh out of this.
There was (and I guess still is) a big argument on Twitter over who would win in a fight: Every Pokémon created or 1 billion real life lions. And it seemed like an obvious choice, because there’s only like 1000 Pokémon, so even if they have wacky powers, the lions should win by sheer numbers alone.
Then the rules started clarifying and it was asked if alternate forms of Pokémon counted? Some evolve different depending on items held, the time of day, etc. And the pro-lions side said, sure, alternate forms count.
It was then pointed out that one Pokemon, Spinda, has almost 4.3 billion different spot variations and that the “shiny” form (basically super rare, discolored versions of a Pokémon) of each of those spot variations also has a different pattern. And thus, the sheer number argument that the pro-lions side had vehemently defended swung WILDLY back in the opposite direction.
