a poll idea that just popped into my head: since we've collectively been doing 90's nostalgia for awhile as a culture, what's your secret/stealth best 90's album? not something necessarily widely super critically beloved but is nonetheless great and defining for you?

The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

My favorite was having a new bus driver turn around to the bus after the mechanized voice pronounced it as one does in Portland and said "Do they know what that means?". Everyone in the front said, "Yes!".
