Word on Lolla '94, though I thought the Pumpkins peformance (I was at Harriet Island in St. Paul) was crap. Played all their songs at warp speed as if they couldn't be bothered.

The Breeders and the Beasties stole that day. The B Boys even brought some Tibetan monks along for the show. Those were Ill Communication days.

The second stage, too--Lips, Luscious Jackson, the Frogs. During a setbreak while the main stage was getting reset, they played "All Apologies" over the loudspeakers. We all bowed our heads. A flood of memories here.
