Little Roy (Reggae) versionando Nirvana
Mola una barbaridad!
Mola una barbaridad!
Twenty-two years ago today, Sub Pop held its historic Lamefest show, featuring Mudhoney, TAD and Nirvana, at the 1,400-capacity Moore Theater in Seattle. Nirvana’s then second guitarist, Jason Everman, made a brave sartorial choice, wearing Mickey Mouse shorts onstage. You can get a look at them in this video from that evening:

What possibly could have inspired Everman’s outfit? “I made the Mickey Mouse shorts I wore onstage,” he revealed to me. “It was kind of absurd, the red pants with the big yellow buttons. I got the idea from this Calvin and Hobbes story, which I thought was really funny. In the comic, Hobbes is telling Calvin, ‘Check out my Mickey Mouse pants.’ And Calvin is like, ‘I don’t know.’”
Was definitely a fan of Sub Pop Records before being involved with them. When I was in junior high, I guess it was ’91 or ’92, I was an extra in this movie called The Program with James Caan. It’s a terrible movie. They were filming it in South Carolina, and I convinced my parents to let me take three days off of school to be an extra in the football stands. I remember my brother had made me a tape with Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge by Mudhoney on one side and Nirvana’s Bleach and ‘Sliver’ single taped on the other side. I had my headphones on and didn’t have any friends with me, so I just smoked cigarettes and listened to those bands. I must’ve listened to that tape probably 50 times over the course of those three days, and that was basically what made me the alterna-grunger I would later become.
