The Alternative Number Ones: Bush's "Swallowed" In The Alternative Number Ones, I’m reviewing every #1 single in the history of the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks/Alternative Songs, starting with the moment that the chart launched in 1988. This colum...

Alternative Number Ones on the Bush/Steve Albini connection and on "Swallowed," a song that, I'm forced to admit, kind of rocks.

I will now sell five copies of Jack Harlow’s neo-soul album Monica

I could enter a graduate program in a field I've never studied and do fewer hours of catchup on prerequisites than I would need to watch a new Marvel movie.

One of the final pictures of Kurt Cobain. Mike Park famously offered to fly Cobain out to San Jose to work on an album together, but Cobain, already in decline, never took him up on the offer, but he pinned the plane ticket to the wall outside of his bedroom.

In his final years, Kurt Cobain struck up a close friendship with Skankin' Pickle's Mike Park. "Sing Along With Skankin' Pickle" was reportedly the last CD Cobain played before his death. The ska album Cobain planned to make with Park remains one of music's great "what-ifs."

It’s hard to think of a crueler combination of music and words than “Little Deuce Coupe.”

Ohhhhh I wonder how common that was?

Bucks social deserved this one. Tough year.

He is risen (Yelich’s bat, which was dead last postseason)

As a kid did you picture the Easter Bunny as an actual bunny or more of a humanoid-like bunny thing?

This is so upsetting

Oh man I could go on for a long time about their greatness. Killer riffs, biting and wise lyrics, creepy texture, interesting soft dynamics, that cello, the sweep, the amibition, the charge. Just self evidently such an interesting band to me

I disagree with this so much (Cursive is great) but this is the energy Bsky desperately needs right now

Such a great way to connect with the energy of the city and the energy around a game. I love that you can lock your bike up just feet away from the stadium too
