Mickey hates me because of my politics and he’s a relentless asshole. Posts like this are all his way of trying to look smart.

I don't like Trump but that is an objectively great antique shop find

I have no problem with people that don’t like Trump. My own girlfriend works for the Democrat party. Mickey is just an asshole. And it was a great antique shop find!

I was saying congratulations. Owning your first book is a big deal.

I found it in a antique shop about 15 years ago. When I saw it, I obviously had to buy it.

what an insanely lucky find!

No kidding. The book is fascinating.

what are some interesting pages in there we don’t know about?

Well, considering it’s over 1,000 pages long, I’m sure there are plenty.

show us some!

looks like that edition is like $100

I can buy a "used - good" copy from Amazon for 127 squid!

There are tons and tons more, but I got a friend over. I’ll post more later.

Cool author

up to vitalogy on my chronological listen (i really want to listen to gigaton but I want to get there at the end of the journey). the hollow, sneering, wounded sound they got on not for you is incredible

i sure do take some of these songs for granted

Side A is jaw dropping.

whipping, for instance

it tells you something about how astonishingly good this album is that you could plausibly consider betterman a lesser track

although you would be wrong

But thats because we might be burnt out with betterman. Its actually an amazing song.

stip wrote:whipping, for instance

I adore Whipping; it's the perfect "blues / rock 'n roll masquerading as grunge" song

"Betterman" reminds me that Pearl Jam always did that thing that I eventually grew to find annoying: minor / dark verse, major / sunny chorus, smooshed together in the same song

the approach doesn't work in "Infallible"

I took a long time to appreciate it in "Green Disease"

but here, they do it perfectly
