Pearl Jam "Ten" Tones

To me, the whole grunge movement was a lot like the punk movement of the 70's. However, it was less about anti-this and anti-that and more about being free musically. It was like they were getting back to the vibe that made rock music of the 60's and 70's so great. Instead of the highly polished quality of 80's rock music, grunge was more about getting back to a more raw feeling, thus the name "grunge".

Let’s not forget about the clothes. I think the clothes were the movement and the music was the accompaniment. It was all about the threads.

Well...sort of. I love the way Wikipedia describes "grunge" [sarcasm]:

"Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is an alternative rock genre and subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American Pacific Northwest state of Washington, particularly in Seattle and nearby towns. Grunge fuses elements of punk rock and heavy metal, but without punk's structure and speed. The genre featured the distorted electric guitar sound used in both genres, although some bands performed with more emphasis on one or the other. Like these genres, grunge typically uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Grunge also incorporates influences from indie rock bands such as Sonic Youth. Lyrics are typically angst-filled and introspective, often addressing themes such as social alienation, self-doubt, abuse, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional isolation, psychological trauma and a desire for freedom."

Well, ok then!

Some think it's the clothes. Others think it's a particular "sound". Then there's the whole "theme" thing. You could argue it's all that...or you could simply say it's musicians who were simply tired of the whole hair band thing of the 80's. I mean, jeez, really:

Give me a few more days and I can tell you with a bit more confidence.

As mentioned back in post #12, I went ahead and worked up a prototype for what I'm pretty sure this is. Those arrived today and are now verified and working great.

Then, as luck would have it, I stumbled across an original about 30 minutes later... I've mentioned before, I don't like working from best guesses or speculation, so that one should be arriving in a couple days and I can be 100% sure.

I got scalped, but sometimes we make sacrifices for science....

Is this why we're blessed with the topographer pcb now?

(I grabbed one of those along with the plaid as well)
