This week's #TuneTuesday is #GetItNow
Songs that made you understand why folks liked a band.

I remember hating the idea of grunge generally and Soundgarden specifically. Didn't trust it. Sell out. Other things.

Then I was at the 930 club in DC at a Swiz show I think & I heard Jesus Christ Pose between bands. I was like, "Oh! Metal! Why didn't you say so?"

Plus Badmotorfinger is objectively better than their earlier records anyway.

@shotgunseamstress I didn't see Dag Nasty. They were inactive for the years I was in DC 89-92. Plus, while their first album was great, I had negative feelings about them. I was very suspicious of how they kicked out Shawn Brown (who is Black) and replaced him with Dave Smalley (who is white). I mean "Lies aren't exercises" as a Swiz lyric was pretty umistakable. So I chose Swiz in the divorce. Plus I went to college with the Swiz drummer Alex who was the most lovable goofball ever. Great guy.

@shotgunseamstress No, Rutgers-Newark. The people's law school! I only applied there and nowhere else because they had the only animal rights law clinic in the USA at the time.
