Summer's got a different tip up. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color. That chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango Pineapple flavored pearls. Yeah, that feels like summer before you even taste it. Funny how one small stop becomes the best part of the day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.

discos, need a little more Disgrace Land in your life? Just a touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland. The afterparty. Welcome to the Disgraceland Bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the afterparty. This is the show after the show, people. The party after the party. The bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard to dig into the dirt. Our mission, to uncover the truth, to confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode. Weezer's so called Blue Album. The glorious year for music that 1994 was a bunch of stuff about Pulp Fiction that you probably didn't know. Plus your voicemails, texts, emails, comments, DMs, and as always, a whole lotta Rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed, the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. Disgraceland is where I tell the stories they didn't want told. The kind that you'll end up telling to someone else. All right, discos, let's get into it. What's with these homies dissing my girl? Why do they got a front? Or is it why do they have to front? Did he use proper, proper English there? I don't know. We laugh at that Weezer lyric now. And I guess we kind of laughed at it back in 1994 when it was released, when it smacked us in the face as the opening line from the band's Buddy Holly single. I didn't take Weezer seriously at the time. I took them and the Blue Album. I took the band and the album for granted. I really did. And it wasn't until their Follow up in 1996, it wasn't until Pinkerton, that I started to think of Weezer as a real band, at least a band that I was interested in. And the irony is that that was kind of the point of Pinkerton. Rivers, Cuomo, he wanted to be thought of as a real artist, somebody akin to Kurt Cobain. And when he made Pinkerton, that helped him achieve that goal. But he ended up distancing himself from that album. There's the irony. He dismissed it for a bunch of different reasons, but it was a commercial flop and it was a huge departure from the Blue album. But that Blue album was the album that caused us in the first place to not take him seriously, which is the thing that he was trying to correct with Pinkerton. I don't know. It's all. It's all very confusing. He's since come around on Pinkerton, sort of. There's a bunch of conflicting comments out there, but I believe deep down Rivers, Cuomo knows what a great album that is. But for me, Weezer never really recovered after that, and being from Boston, being part of the rock scene back then, we had a direct connection to Weezer all of a sudden, because of bass player Mikey Welch, who was well known around town. And he became the bass player for Weezer after Pinkerton. But, you know, the stuff they released afterward, I don't know, it just. I don't dislike Weezer, but I'm not running to listen to their albums unless it's Pinkerton or even the Blue Album. The Blue Album is. Is the album in my house that my kids and my wife love. And I lose the Pinkerton argument every time. But that's not really the point I want to make. The point I want to make is that nowadays it's weird to think that we had the luxury of dismissing an album as great as the Blue album back in 1994. We did not know how good we had it when it came to music, when it came to culture in general, but especially when it came to music in 1994. 1994 was a banger of a year for music releases, but so was basically every year during the 90s. But 94 in particular. 91 as well. But really 94, it's just. It's unbelievable. Check these records out. These were full lengths that were released in 1994. Definitely. Maybe by Oasis, Grace by Jeff Buckley, Dookie by Green Day, Ill Communication by Beastie Boys, Vitology by Pearl Jam, Ready to Die by Notorious, BIG Super Unknown, Soundgarden Park Life by Blur, Mellow Gold by Beck, Bad Religion, Stranger Than Fiction, Roman Candle by Elliot Smith, Illmatic by Nas, Sick of It All. Scratched the Surface. Nirvana, MTV Unplugged, Shellac at Action Park. Tori Amos came at us under the Pink. I think that's her debut album or second album. I don't know. But that's the one with Cornflake Girl on it, I believe. Gramley, Buffalo Joe Moon. Great album. Not. Not super well known, but great. TLC. Crazy sexy, cool. Huge record, huge hits. Nine Inch Nails, Downward Spiral, R.E.M. monster, Tom Petty, Wildflowers, Mad Ball, Set It Off, Purple by Stone Temple Pilots. The Jesus Lizards Record down came out. I think I saw them in 94. Luscious Jackson, natural Ingredients, Regulate the G Funk Era by Warren G, Sonic Youth, Experimental, Jet Set Trash and no Star K. Welcome to Sky Valley. We love that album. That was the precursor to Queens of the Stone Age. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement, Portishead, Dummy, Drive Like Jehu, Yank Crime. If you don't know that album, go check it out. Backbeat came out with an Excellent soundtrack with a super group. The Crow soundtrack was from 1994. Hole lived through this Sunny Day Real Estate Diary Nick Cave and the Bad Seas Let Love In Wait by Rollins Band I didn't love all of these albums when they came out. Some I've grown to appreciate over time, but I can confidently say that they were all on my radar. And I was into most of them. When they were released in 1994. I lived with a bunch of roommates. We were all huge music fans. Too many roommates to count in this shitty little literally rat infested basement apartment on Huntington Avenue in Boston as well. I was going to Northeastern. We were within walking distance to Newbury street. So Newbury Comics was there. Tower Records on the corner of Newbury and Mass Ave. And I can attest that nearly every one of these records on cd. Every one of these albums on CD at least was either physically purchased by myself and or my roommates or was in our radar. You know what I mean? We had access to all of this music in the year that it was released, 1994. I didn't love all of it. Obviously I wasn't buying TLC albums, but those singles were everywhere, for example, And I didn't hate them. You know what I mean? I didn't hate on tlc. Now I hear those singles and I'm blown away by how great they are. And again, how I just dismissed it. It's crazy to me. And a lot of this stuff, you know, a lot of these artists that I just mentioned, some of the stuff, if I. If I try playing it in that apartment I'm talking about, I'd get my ass torn up for listening to it. Because music was hotly debated. Bands fell in and out of favor with every release, with every video, with basically every move they made. For example, I loved that third Pearl Jam record, Vitology. But this is the third Pearl Jam album. The second Pearl Jam album was a monster record. Monster. Huge, Huge. You can just walk around Boston and you would just hear that album playing from Windows. It was absolutely massive. So by the time the third record comes out, I mean, we were sick. I was sick of Pearl Jam by 10, basically. But I, I still. They were so overplayed that first album. But I still like the band. My friends. On the other hand, it was way uncool to like Pearl Jam. By the third record, it was definitely uncool to like Pearl Jam. They were just, you know, a less cool version of Soundgarden, who we thought was beyond cool. They were darker than Pearl Jam. Their singer was Just as talented. They were heavier. But, you know, I didn't love Super Unknown, the album that came out in 1994. As much as I love Bad Motorfinger, I still listen to Bad Motor Finger. My neighbors can attest to that. It's one of my favorite driving records. I pull onto my street pretty much once a week with Bad Motor Finger blaring from my car windows. Great driving records. One of my favorite driving records. It's interesting for me to think about these albums from the perspective of two of our greatest intellectuals and music scholars from the 90s, Beavis and Butthead. Now, their takes on these artists still to this day, crack me up. They're exaggerated takes, obviously, but they're rooted in fact. And they're exaggerated takes on what my friends and I really thought about these. These artists. Soundgarden, the Butthole Surfers, Jesus Lizard. Yes, please, yes. As Beavis and Butthead will tell you over and over again now. Ozzy Osbourne duetting with Lita Ford. Not so much. We're good. 1994 was so good. So good for music. So much went on, too. I mean, Kurt Cobain died. O.J. simpson took us on a wild ride and his white Bronco. Nancy Kerrigan, a Northeastern University alum, by the way. She got her knee popped. 94 by Tonya Harding and her Thugs. Friends appeared for the first time on television. Gave us something to look at. On Thursday nights after Seinfeld, there was a massive earthquake. People don't understand how big this earthquake was. It killed a ton of people, like almost 60 people in Southern California. Michael Jordan started playing baseball. Pulp Fiction was released, and so was its soundtrack. And all of a sudden we all liked Cool in the gang. Bill Hicks died. Yes, we were onto Bill Hicks in 1994. Bill Hicks died. Jim Carrey was everywhere in 94. He had like 800 movies that year. Jenny McCarthy, who I don't think yet was with Jim Carrey, but she was on the COVID of Playboy in 94. Reality Bites was a lame version of all of us that we all pretended to hate, but we secretly loved. Clerks was a worse version of us that we all pretended to like more than we liked. Reality Bites. I guess my point is that there was so much awesomeness going on back in 1994, and all of it had the potential to distract me from the awesomeness that was going on on Weezer's Blue album. Happy Days spoofs, you know, kind of funny, but didn't really rate. And then Pinkerton, like I said, opened my eyes, but it wasn't until a couple years later. That record was released in 96 and was radically different. Radically different. And even though that was the album that Rivers Cuomo set out to make and that album in a way did what he wanted it to do. Again, so many, he's got so much, so many conflicting comments and thoughts about, about what I believe to be Weezer's best album. Not to mention a bunch of weird comments and actions as well, which you can hear all about in this week's new Disgraceland episode on Weezer. Coming up next in Disgraceland. Coming up in the feed next, right after this episode is going to be our archive episode, Aaliyah speaking of the 90s in her illegal marriage to R. Kelly and her the mystery around her death. That's coming this Sunday. And then on Tuesday, we've got our new episode on Adele, Adele's album 21, it sold like 17 billion copies. Actually, no, 17 million. But it feels like it's one of the biggest selling albums. And I don't own it. I'm not one, I'm not one of those who bought it. I don't dislike Adele, but I'm not running to listen to Adele or to go to her shows. I kind of like, I like her more as a personality. I think she's hot shit. And she's obviously tremendous, talented. And honestly, if she put her stuff out in 94, I probably own the album, you know, But I don't. I'm one of the few, I guess, who doesn't own it. I do have like seven copies of Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton. That's another one of those records that for its time sold a gazillion copies. Which massive selling album do you guys just not care about? Don't vibe with? Is it Thriller? I don't know, anything by the Beatles? Abbey Road, Let It Be, Exile on Main street by the Rolling Stones might be my, my favorite album of all time. You might hate it. It's largely considered to be the Stone's greatest. I don't think it's their, their biggest seller. But my point is which top selling albums? Oasis, definitely. Maybe Nirvana, Nevermind. Do you just not care about? That's gonna be the question of the week next week as we dive into Adele. It's gonna be a great episode. Adele is fascinated with true crime and because of that, we've got a really interesting entry into Adele's story. Can't wait for you to hear it. 617-906-6638. Give me a call. Leave me a voicemail. Hit me up on text with your answer to the question of the week. Which massive selling album do you not have in your. You know, you just don't care. Disgraceandpod on the socials. Disgraceandpodmail.com if you want to email me now, I mentioned Pulp Fiction earlier and in the exclusive section of this after party, Dr. Lundy and I are going to take you deeper into 1994 and discuss some of the weirdness connected to Pulp Fiction. For example, did you know that Tarantino wrote the Bruce Willis part for Matt Dillon? Okay, I did not know that. There's a lot I didn't know about this movie. And I love this movie. This movie, it was so ubiquitous and it still kind of is in culture and in history that it feels weird to get out there and champion it. You know what I mean? It's like again, I bring up the Beatles, like, championing the Beatles, you know, they don't need any more champions. It's. They're good, you know, this movie's good. Everyone knows it's fucking great. Change the game. But still, there's so much to this movie that I did not know about a lot of weirdness. Zeth and I are going to be diving into it in the exclusive section of this episode.

Alright guys, I'm back. I'm in the phone booth. It's the one across the hall. I'm hanging on the telephone. 617-906-6638. You want to give me a call? You want to send me a text about anything, any subject under the Great Blue Sky. Last week we talked a lot about great punk albums. It was in reaction to Rolling Stone's list of the hundred greatest punk rock albums. We were talking about records that are punk but aren't by punk artists, all that stuff. Steve hits us on this from Toronto.
- [20:26]
Listeners/Callers
Hey Jake, Steve from Toronto here. Just want to comment on your punk albums that aren't punk but are punk. That are punk. I kind of feel like I'm cheating with this one, but. 1988 it takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back by Public Enemy. I don't know if it gets more punk than that. That's not punk. So yeah, that's my. That's. I'm throwing that one into the. Into the proverbial ring. There Takes nations of Millions To Hold Us Back by the great public enemy.
- [20:56]
Jake Brennan
1988 Steve, you are absolutely right. Doesn't get much more subversive. Doesn't get much more hard hitting. Then It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy and I actually think that record, for me, I believe it's Public Enemy's second album, full length, right? Second, yeah. That was my introduction, and I was just kind of catching up with who Public Enemy was by the time the Fight the Power single came out after that record as part of do the Right Thing. And I think Fight the Power ended up on their third album. But it was the single in the video, and I remember watching that, and just my jaw being on the floor, I could. I could not believe what I was seeing. It was exhilarating. It was thrilling. It was a new kind of hip hop. It felt like hip hop, but it felt like history and CNN and Hollywood. It just. It was electrifying. Just as electrifying as when bands like the Sex Pistols or the Clash hit the scene. And again, with the same level of subversiveness. All right, we got a call from Max. Let's see what Max has got to say.
- [22:08]
Listeners/Callers
Hey, it's max from the 661 410. So, favorite punk, not punk record. How about Arthur by the Kinks? Love the show. Thanks, cj.
- [22:20]
Jake Brennan
Thanks, Max. You know, I don't really think of the Kinks as punk because they predate it, but I hear what you're saying. I hear. I do. I hear what you're saying. The attitude is fully there. And if. If the Kinks came about there, if they were younger, if they came about later, they would have been part of that whole movement for sure. All right, let's check in with Sarah from the 206.
- [22:46]
Sarah
Hey, Jake. This is Sarah from 206. I just wanted to add a little agenda to my previous message regarding the Jed Fair and Daniel Johnson album. Okay, so I'm a lifelong adult entertainer. I used to strip on Bourbon street in New Orleans right before the Hurricane Katrina. Anyhow, we used to work day shift in this little strip club on Bourbon street. And when the customers weren't tipping and they were just there to drink, we would. We would compete with each other to do what we call torture tracks, which were the kind of music that was, like, not amenable to drinking. And that basically was kind of torturous for normal drunk dudes to have to listen to while they're also looking at boobs and butts. My go to. Let me bring this on home. My go to was always Frankenstein Conquers the World by Jed Fehr and Daniel Johnston. I just listened to it again, and it continues to remain brilliant. Jagged rhythm, weird freaking vocals, and kind of an anti science, anti, you know, AI like, but, you know, obviously written in the 80s, so completely prescient. Anyhow, that was my torture track. I love your show. Thank you so much. Bye.
- [24:18]
Jake Brennan
All right, Sarah from the 206. First of all, guys, if you go into. If you're going to a strip club, you have to tip. It's the whole point. I mean, so the torture tracks I get. I've never heard this before, but I love it. I love this. It's like a scene out of a movie. Now, to her point, however, about Daniel Johnson, Jad Fair, Jade. I always called it Jade Fair, which is probably wrong. Jad Fair is correct. I don't know this album. I don't know it. I'm looking it up right now. Jad Fair, co founder of the influential Lo Fi band, Half Japanese and cult singer songwriter Daniel Johnston teamed up in the late 1980s for one of indie rock's most legendary collaborations. Their partnership resulted in the 1989 album. It's spooky. Wildly celebrated for its primitive charm, emotional rawness, and childlike sincerity. I want to hear this tracks like I Did acid with Caroline McDonald's on the brain Torture track compilations. This is a good one. It's a good question. I'm going to noodle on this, Sarah. Thanks for your call. All right, let's check in with Armin in Calgary.
- [25:28]
Listeners/Callers
Hi, Jake, this is Armin from Calgary, Alberta. In regards to your question with a band that took a complete left turn with an album. I'm a big Depeche Mode fan and was into the synth pop stuff. Their song Faith and Devotion went from full synth pop to full instruments and it was a complete left turn. Not only was a complete left turn, but it was a successful left turn and hit just as hard as any of the original Depeche Mode stuff. Along with that, shortly afterwards, they went back to what they were known for successfully 30 plus years, 40 plus years, still around, still making music, still selling out concerts, still. That's a track record. And Songs of Faith and Devotion just established a whole different clientele and fan group for them while maintaining the group they had. Thank you. Love the show. Have a good night.
- [26:22]
Jake Brennan
Armin, great call, man. Great, great point about Depeche Mode. And I was gonna say it reminds me of Rolling Stones, Some Girls, which is. Was at the time seen as their quote unquote, disco album. It's not a disco album, but they've got that disco. They deploy the disco bass drum thing, that thing, that octave thing, and it's. It's a fantastic departure from what they were doing before. It's it's great. But unlike Depeche Mode, the Stones never really recover from that. Recover is the wrong word. They never really come back to what they were before that. There's not a lot of great Stones records after that. There's Tattoo you, which is basically Some Girls. It's the same thing. Same, same sessions, I believe. And then, I mean, Steel Wheels. What are we looking at? Harlem Shuffle, you know what I'm saying? They never really get back to that rock, grindy Americana based rock that they amalgamated into something that was wholly their own. I mean, they try, but it just never really. They never really do it. Not to the effect that the albums before sungirls had. But with Depeche Mode, you're right. They go right back to what they were doing before and it's fantastic. I love the Rolling Stones, don't get me wrong. But you got to Admit, stuff after 1980s is lacking. Great call. Great call, Armin. Appreciate you three one, zero on the same subject. Texan. Strangest deviation of any band I can think of as Bad Religion. Second studio album, into the Unknown. It truly was. It was prog rock and organs, really. The album kicks off with a synth swell that sounds like it came out of an AT&T commercial. It's so strange. So glad they abandoned that direction. I don't know this album. Never even heard of it. Never heard of it. What's it called? The Unknown. Into the unknown. All right, 610 writes in the Anthony Bourdain rewind gutted me. Just like when I heard it the first time. Just like when I heard that he died. What a heartbreaking disgrace. I saw him live in Eastern Pennsylvania at a talk he did and it was a highlight of my life. Especially talking about his love hate relationship with the King, the Colonel and the Crown, Burger King, KFC and McD's. Thank you for sharing his life and struggles with honesty and compassion, nuance and and love instead of gossip and preachiness. Kudos to you and the Double Elvis team. Keep up the great work and rock a roll from your pal Jonathan in the 610. Jonathan. Thanks brother. Appreciate you. Check out that Anthony Bourdain episode in the rewind slot. Guys, if you haven't should be at the top of your feed. 856 writes in hello, it's Mark from the 856. Beck is pretty punk. Also. Midnight Vultures is an outlier. It's an album that when I showed some friends, they were like, what is wrong with you? Others loved it. Midnight Vultures is very strange, even from an artist that is known to buck trends. Yeah, super strange. But I would say sea change is even weirder. Or it was at the time Midnight vultures were kind of like, ah, yeah, I get it. He's doing the disco thing. Sea change is like, wait, he's Gordon Lightfoot now. What the fuck just happened? Kel from the 781 writes in Jake. I got another Randy Rhodes story. Come on, spill it. I won't tell your kids. Thank you. I can't go there. I can't go there. Maybe someday just they gotta be older. 617906-6638. You want to hit me up on voicemail or text? I'll be back in a flash with your emails and a very important update.

Matt (Film Discussion)
And I always had heard that Gene Hackman didn't like get this movie and didn't get Wes Anderson and had a really tough time on set. But I saw an interview this past week when we were doing research for this where Wes is talking about shooting with Gene Hackman. And he didn't really talk about it that way. He just talked about it more as like Gene Hackman is an actor who likes to be left alone. Like and, and he likes you to like, he doesn't like to know that you're like standing there watching him. He wants you to like be over there somewhere out of the way. And so it sounded like it's. I think maybe this, this story about him being ill tempered on set was maybe apocryphal or something.

Jake Brennan
You know, I could also see Wes Anderson just being a professional and respective of the great artists of all time.
- [34:20]
Matt (Film Discussion)
Correct.
- [34:21]
Jake Brennan
And seeing it, really seeing it through his eyes and understanding exactly what the guy needs. And Wes Anderson being the seasoned professional that he is. Yeah. Is not like he's not taking it like oh, what a fucking egomaniac dickhead. You know, like totally. But him not. But Alec Baldwin doing the VO begs the question, why didn't Gene Hackman do the vl?
- [34:41]
Matt (Film Discussion)
Because I think feels more like a book to me. It feels like the whole film is set up like there's all these.
- [34:47]
Jake Brennan
Oh yeah, they have the book. Yeah, yeah, of course.
- [34:49]
Matt (Film Discussion)
And it just feels like it's like a narrator of a book. It's like the omniscient narrator who's telling the story.
- [34:54]
Jake Brennan
But doesn't your brain tell you it's coming from Gene Hackman's perspective? Not his perspective, but that it's Gene, the Gene Hackman character narrating it?
- [35:02]
Matt (Film Discussion)
Yeah, I guess, because. Because the narrator is very biased.
- [35:06]
Jake Brennan
And if you're Wes Anderson, wouldn't you go. Because it does sound like Gene Hackman, wouldn't you go like, this is too g. If you really wanted it to be this omniscient kind of narrator voice that's separate from the whole thing. If you're Wes Anderson, wouldn't you go like, this is too much like Gene Hackman, perhaps.
- [35:23]
Matt (Film Discussion)
Yeah.
- [35:24]
Jake Brennan
But it does sound like Gene Hackman. So that makes me feel like Wes Anderson just didn't want to fuck with Gene Hackman anymore. And he's like, now I gotta narrate the this thing. Give me the next best thing. And that's Alec Baldwin.
- [35:34]
Malcolm Glebel
Could be. Yeah, could be.

We got our sitcom music Bracket of Palooza, Disgraceland, Hollywoodland. Subscribe to Hollywoodland, by the way, on the iHeart podcast app, wherever you get your podcasts. And we got this ongoing conversation that's just forever happening. Phone, voicemail, text, and email. Speaking of which, we get a very thoughtful email from Tom Powell, who writes in hey Tom, from the 5:4:1 here. I have some thoughts on this list. Tom's talking about the Rolling Stone Top 100 Punk Albums list that we discussed last week. Tom goes on to say, first, on the question of what is punk? I ultimately don't care. It's either good rock and roll or not. But here's how I like to think of it. The real punk was a brief period in 1976 and 1977 centered in London, New York and Los Angeles. It was carried on after that by Hardcore in the United States and OI Crust Anarcho in the uk. Everything else before is proto punk. Everything else after is post punk. Works for my linear brain. I can get with this. As for the list, the way I look at these lists is to completely disregard the rankings and just think of it as here's a hundred great punk and punk related albums to hear. The rankings are just splitting hairs. You know, he's got a real good point, Tom. Overall, Tom says it's a good list. I was very pleased to see bands like Naked Ray Gun, Soul Glow, the Meekins, the Mekons. I can never get that right. I played with that band back in the day too. And Team Dresh on the list. On the other hand, where are the Saints? That's a good point. And Squirrel Bait and the Undertones. Damn, there was no Undertones on that list. But it's Rolling Stone, so what were we expecting? Love the show. Peace, Tom. Thanks, Tom. That's a great, great way of looking at it. And great email. He's spelled out everything perfectly. This one comes from Laura Cobb. Hey there, My name is Laura Cobb and yes, as the email reads, I am 42. I was listening to an episode several weeks ago. I never listen in order, but I'm a longtime listener. Anyways, at the end of the episode you asked listeners to contact the podcast about a musical artist who had a big impact on your life. Please do. Tori Amos. I have a Condensed explanation scripted out as a voicemail. But I can't find the episode that you asked for, the feedback, and list the phone number for the voicemail. Well, the phone Number is always 617-906-6638. Anyways, again, it's Laura, like the salad Cobb, and I can be reached. Oh, she gives me her number there in gratitude. Laura. Also like the baseball guy Cobb in Florida. Laura, I would love to get into a Tori Amos episode just because I'm fascinated by Tori Amos and I don't know a lot about her. However, I need some sort of crime angle, so if you got anything, hit me back. And Again, the number 617-906-6638. As I mentioned before, Zeth and I are gonna get into Pulp Fiction. We're gonna get into some Pulp Fiction history. We're gonna get into some Pulp Fiction weirdness. We're gonna get into some Pulp Fiction facts that you did not know. And that's all coming up in the exclusive section of this podcast. All right, I'll be back after this break. All right, guys, we mentioned so many artists that have been featured previously in Disgraceland in this episode when we were talking about 1994, Nirvana, Soundgarden, the Notorious. Big Matt's gonna pull a couple of those episodes. Grab the episode information for you and throw it in the show notes so you can easily access those stories.
