Well, I'm not going to let EVERYONE ELSE do everything for me this evening, which is now morning......since everyone else has been so generous with their fine contributions, allow me to put up at least one selection chosen and uploaded by my own two hands......I don't think I've ever posted the soundtrack from "Hype", before, and I should have, it's a good one....."Hype" was a 1996 film dealing with the early 90's grunge scene, to be honest, I think the film is a little slow (although worth seeing once), but the soundtrack is not a bad one at all, lotta good stuff on here if you are a fan of the 90's Seattle scene, GOOD LORD, that was 25 years ago? Allow me to take my ativan, or something.....
The "stars" (is that even the word?) of the era are here.....Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden......and of course, they are great, but we aren't here for stuff we can here every night, there are other gems here such as Gas Huffer's "Hotcakes", a live "Knot" from the underappreciated and wonderfully named 7 Year Bitch, stuff from the Fastbacks, The Gits, Tad, Some Velvet Sidewalk, and plenty more obscure stuff to make you go "Wow man"......i recommend this, highly, for fans (like me) of the too-short-lived grunge scene, which of course, melded into the stoner rock scene that I love so much........
But, I....well you know the rest, right?
These are in glorious FLAC so thusly the files are a little on the large size, you know how it is, right?

OK, kids, between me and the team, we've put a lot of material up for ya on this Tuesday evening...please respond in kind by commenting, sharing, just by being a part of the community we are trying to create here.....in particular, once again, I would like to see a few volunteers to help with Apantabapanta's big project, he'll need some help with that one, but I'd love if we could. together, as a team, pull it off.....anyways, hope you like "Hype", sorry I've been away for a couple days, I will be back tomorrow with, well, something, as of this minute I have less idea of what than you do, so we shall see.......love to all!
