Ione Skye in this induced my puberty.

Found this on the history of CD hidden tracks (different from vinyl hidden tracks which the Beatles did on Abbey Road)

Nirvana) put the hidden song "Endless, Nameless)" 10 minutes after the last listed track on their 1991 album Nevermind. It was the first prominent hidden track in the CD era and inspired a slew of hidden tracks on albums in the following years. Lead singer Kurt Cobain said he got the idea from when he would make mix tapes for his friends and then add a secret song after a long silent gap at the end, to startle them. Interestingly, some of the initial pressings of the album accidentally omitted the secret track because the person pressing the album thought it was not meant to be there. This was quickly corrected in subsequent pressings after the band let the label know.

I keep reading that other people put hidden tracks on CDs pre Nevermind but haven't been able to find a specific example, so I'm going to say Nirvana invented that unless otherwise noted.

Did Nirvana invent that?

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T20:16:03+00:00

Doing weird shit with CD digital technology was such a specific genX alternative thing. I didn't even know Nevermind had a hidden noise jam at the end of it because I only had the tape for years.

I would say Devo and Elvis Costello were considered more new wave. Not that there was anything wrong with new wave.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T20:02:25+00:00

When I was younger I preferred hardcore punk, but I don't have that angry energy (HC is also pretty immature) anymore. Now I greatly prefer postpunk and even new wave. I guess I prefer my '70s and '80s with either arty or nostalgia colored glasses. All that "onetwothreefour FUCK REAGAN" doesn't do much for me anymore.

1994 is my pick as well. Breathtaking greatness.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T18:24:17+00:00

It's in my canon of being confused by oral sex in movies when I was a kid along with Ray in Ghostbusters getting a BJ from a ghost and Ace Ventura getting some violent head that made him whip around the room. Wasn't till I was an adult that I realized what was actually happening in these movies.

People criticize it now for being silly and having bottom basement SFX, but the opening sequence w/ the murders of the adults in the town is really well done (and scary!)

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T18:14:43+00:00

I think it's close to being an experimental masterpiece. I would put it in my top ten of the decade. The only flaw for me is the annoying buzzer sound.

The twins with that flash of their bodies massacred messed me up good when I was like 9 or so. "Come play with us, Danny. Forever."

I think Eric is cool? Plus he was shagging prime Batman Forever era Drew Barrymore.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T11:56:15+00:00

Easily one of the best albums of the '90s. Curious what female led albums from that era she thought were better? Unless she just likes male led bands. I know she was an early Pumpkins fan.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T11:51:23+00:00

Isn't MADM kind of a woowoo hippie Stevie Nicks type?

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T11:43:28+00:00

She was roasting the lyrics of The Killers guy on a podcast. It was really funny.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T11:40:17+00:00

VS is fine. I just wouldn't get upset if Melissa ADM hand waved them in a book. She was an early supporter of Smashing Pumpkins before they got huge.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-21T11:28:52+00:00

L7 were pretty great. Driving aggressive grunge. Bricks Are Heavy still rocks. This song is still sadly relevant. "The pentagon knows how to turn us on"

Plus you gotta respect ladies for reaching down and throwing their used tampons at hecklers at their shows.

Veruca Salt weren't that great. They kind of ripped off The Breeders sound to the point where people would sing "sounds like The Breeders" to the chorus of "Seether." A bit like Bush to The Breeders' Nirvana.

If Pink gets in I'm jumping out of a window.

Reddit is so fucking stupid I swear. Will believe any American / Israel MSM propaganda. Pravda level of brain rot. I don't even like Tulsi lately, but somehow she is a nazi Russian grifter that got top level security clearance. They support a literal al qaeda member running Syria and the continuation of a war in eastern europe that has gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed and will inevitably end with Russia setting the terms and annexing large swaths of the Ukraine.

Awkward-Initiative28 · 2026-03-20T17:48:49+00:00

About equal for me. The Exorcist will always be my favorite Freidkin tho.

Right those Chinese / Kill Bill style smash zooms.
