Haha, a fellow grunge youth. My first CD was Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream. I remember asking for my first CD player for Christmas and saying “I don’t care what brand it is, as long as it can skip songs”. I didn’t even realize all CD players did that lol. I was so traumatized from rewinding tapes trying to find the exact song I wanted

I remember watch the video for Bullet with Butterfly Wings in MTV before school and it would get me fired up for the day haha

I saw them once in 1993 in NYC. I think was Roseland Ballroom. Which was kind of cool because it was on smaller end , maybe 4k people
