One day in 1994, just prior to the release of Nirvana's "In Utero", our Seattle alt station KNDD played the record in it's entirety in the early evening. I sat my parents down in the living room, and we listened (some of us reluctanty) to it on the crummy Panasonic all-in-one system I think they still have (Note to our kids: someday you'll thank us for that Earth-wrecker in the living room). Following one particularly noisy song, my dad said "That was silly - that song could've been about anything. They might as well have called it 'Milk Bottles'". The song ended, and Marco Collins back announced "You just heard 'Milk It'.." and I looked over at Duane, who grinning smugly and gently giggling.
He got his a few years later when he said "Kurt Mobain" within earshot of my mom, who still teases him to this day.

Sometimes I wish I'd been born a little bit earlier. KNDD, in my opinion, isn't as good as it used to be. I really liked it in middle school (96-99), and I listened to it a little bit in 1995, mostly for Smashing Pumpkins and White Zombie. hahah. I mean, they still play those things. . .perhaps it's more to do with current popular music. I don't know.
Anyway, that's a great story. I like your parents. Your mom thinks I look like John Mayer.
