Mark Arm Offers A History Lesson


If you notice a drop-off in posts today, don't worry, I'm OK; I've probably just gotten lost in a haze of looking for YouTube clips and blog posts recapping this weekend's SP20 festival, which celebrated the 20th-ish anniversary of indie heavyweight Sub Pop.

Holy Crap: Green River Reunion Show Set For Next Summer

File under "pieces of news that I thought Jess was giving me in order to fake me out and get my attention": Green River—the Mark Arm-fronted Seattle band that the northwest rock historian behind lamestain pegged as "the first grunge rock stars"—is going to play a reunion show in honor of Sub Pop's 20th anniversary, according to former guitarist Stone Gossard.
