This month's O&M calendar page is the cover of the second collection, <i>Never Mind Pants</i>. I've seen a similar picture in "Pearls Before Swine," which likes to spoof famous paintings on Sundays. So I must ask DCS, what painting would that be?

Anyone who doesn't know that reference was officially not paying attention to pop culture in the early 1990s. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Of course, the cover of <a href='http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0 ...

Oh we're not all bad <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I love "Nevermind", it's an awesome album.<br><br>And no, it's not angst.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Killin' the first born of lyrical Yul Brynners.
Out aof all Nirvana's albums, I like Bleach and In Utero more than Nevermind. Nevermind was what the record companies wanted them to sound like, not what they actually did. That's why the band disliked the record when compared to any of their other stuff.<br><br>Ah, I remember sitting up with my big sister to watch the unplugged live set on MTV when it first hit these shores. I think that was 1994, no? That would have made me 9.<br><br>I love grunge. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Temple of the Dog, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Kyuss....Ah, the memories.
