Give it a follow for the love of #grunge.
The more followers I get, the more folks get to see what I do. Damn algorithms…

This masterpiece was released OTD, April 8th, in 1977.
Not only is this record one of the best albums ever (IMO), it’s in the conversation of one of the best debut albums of all time. #theclash
Hi.
Books are incredibly important.

Miniature golf at that…at least that’s what Stormy said. 🤷🏻♂️

Had a great time speaking w/ @stacilayne.bsky.social about my book, SLACKER - 1991, Teen Spirit Angst, and the Generation It Created.
We discussed the early 90s grunge takeover of music & culture, the importance of lyrics in music, mental health, & more.

A music and cultural Time Machine sounds like a great idea in 2025 because currently, this place is bonkers.

My latest from “Slackers Unite” on Substack.

“All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it” - White Riot/The Clash
One of the many reasons they earned the title of “The only band that matters”.
Unified Theory…that’s the band was rose from the ashes of Blind Melon (Brad Smith, Christopher Thorn) with singer Chris Shinn and former Pearl Jam drummer, Dave Krusen. They released two terrific albums.

Jeff Ament:
“I have amazing memories of making that record. Most days, Chris [Cornell] would come in with a new song. We would wrap our heads around it, & it was so easy & free that it almost felt like it was somebody else flowing us the songs. It came from such a good place, too.”

What people are saying about SLACKER…
You can get a signed copy here www.robjanicke.com/product-page...
Call me crazy, but when a convicted felon KNOWN for cheating people, scamming people, and having to close his Foundation and University for fraud says he wants to go to Fort Knox to see if "someone stole the gold," my Spidey sense starts tingling.
You can't trust that fucker.
Why would you ever give up?

Great to see that Ozzy is well enough to play a final show. And that he’s getting a ton of great support for the send off. 🤘
