    like it's kind of hard to find many high spots in 90s music. people my age remember it fondly because we were young at the time, but it really hasn't held up very well.

    pearl jam/ soundgarden/ alice in chains were so. fucking. tedious. and samey.

    the 90s downtempo r&b was terrible (r kelly, sisco, usher, jodeci, etc)

    the boy bands were terrible

    rap got really ugly and terrible in the 90s.

    "big country" was a thing and it was terrible.

    decent bands from the 90s:
    1) smashing pumpkins before they got bloated and terrible
    2) radiohead
    3) oasis
    4) nirvana
    5) beck
    6) pixies, though i don't really count them as a 90s band. they were pretty much over by 91 or so. the breeders were okay tho.

    I am inordinately upset that for the past 2-3 days my eggs have been really runny and porridge-like and shitty. I think it's because I'm using eggs from the fridge; we normally leave them out and they're just room-temperature, which is fine because the AC's on pretty much all day. I think room-temperature eggs just work much better, and always give me extremely neat and fluffy eggs.

    It's either the cold eggs or the butter substitute thing we're using has gone bad somehow.

    NPR on the weekends is the WORST radio station in the world, oh my god. I was stuck in traffic coming back from mother's day and I didn't have anything good on my phone, so I turn on the radio. It's all soft-spoken creepy guys in their 60s playing obscure jazz and big band recordings from the 1930s.

    and that tune was a cover of grab your hat... first popularized by bernie meyer in the 1933 musical, louie the tramp... with seth johnson on the clarinet solo... and arthur goodsby on first trumpet.

    next we have one of my favorite tunes from the london jazz company in recorded in the summer of 1922 let's see if you can identify this tune

    You're supposed to let your eggs sit outside of the fridge for a little before you cook them.

    Also I think that whoever is cooking your eggs is doing it wrong more than anything to do with the temperature they were at.

    Older eggs get runny and putting them in the fridge doesn't do much but make them stay fresh longer, unless your fridge is shitty and keeps almost freezing them, which would definitely make them break down and get runny.

    Where are G&R and Red Hot Chili Peppers on your list.
    Where is Jane's Addiction
    How is Counting Crows not there.
    What is this you are saying about West Coast gangsta rap when Dr Dre and Snoop had their heyday in that decade.
    What about New Jack Swing on the east coast.
    We haven't even touched Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily was released in 1995 and it is exceptional.

    You really don't need to refrigerate eggs if you're going to use them within a week or so, but that makes my wife nervous so I refrigerate them and then give them 10-15 minutes in a bowl of hot tap water before cracking.

    But yes, their weekend stuff just does not compare. I also feel like Prairie Home Companion makes so many Christan in-jokes about different denominations and other general white-people cultural memes that I honestly get lost sometimes.

    All of the good 90s music was niche stuff. The 80s were better for pure pop, but like.

    There was so much good electronic music in the 90s.

    Autechre, Oval, Boards of Canada aren't even obscure

    Loveless came out in 1991

    If someone likes any form of niche-y metal music there were stupid good metal bands

    Seriously, producers like J Dilla or the RZA were all 90s dudes
