I heard Nirvana at a friend's house in 6th grade.
Sometime later at a sleepover, we were watching The Simpsons and it was the Homerpalooza episode. Sonic Youth was on it, so I figured that must be another Nirvana.
I bought Daydream Nation on a BMG sticker sheet and it melted my brain.

Some people think U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is about God, others think it's about a lover, but it's really attempting to find a usable setting on their new Yamaha DX-7.

OTD 1969 James Brown drags his road-weary band into King Studios in Cincinnati to record. Drummer Clyde Stubblefield bangs out a drum pattern Brown crafts into "Funky Drummer." Minor hit but it forms a foundational beat in Hip-Hop. The bldg remains vacant & standing but King left in 1971.
