…And then there’s the one about Stone Temple Pilots, who were forced to change their name when not only their first record label but all the local poster print shops refused to print their original name for copyright and/or profanity reasons: Shirley Temple’s Pussy.

I featured that one later on, I think! Definitely a funny one!

Either way, STP and PJ were so interchangeable that all of the local strip clubs I DJ’d for in the 90′s had compilation albums under the Stoned Pearl Temple Jam Pilots…

I have Chipmunk Punk! Original pressing, on vinyl. It was my sister’s first, then a few years later she gave it to me.

I’ve got one more, too, from around the same time. Urban Chipmunk.It’s a country record.
Chipmunks sing ‘The Gambler’!

(The title’s a play on ‘Urban Cowboy’, if anyone was wondering. The album sleeve mimics the movie poster. These days it does sort of sound like it should be a hip-hop record, haha.)

Whew, this is a great article, I never knew that Pearl Jam originated from surfing. All I knew is that they are just kidding about the name of their band. Nice read, it filled up my morning with trivias.

“Y’know, I always thought “Pearl Jam” was named after the slang term “Pearl Jam”, meaning of course, male ejaculate.”

I’ve heard this too, that the guys in Pearl Jam, particularly Ament and Gossard liked slightly obscure sexual names. Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone, etc.

[...] http://legendsrevealed.com/entertainment/2009/06/03/music-legends-revealed-8/ Dunno if everyone’s a fan of Brian Cronin’s Comic Book Legends Revealed series like I am, but I sent a Green Day question for his Music Legends column and got it answered, so here’s a free plug for Brian. I’d also buy his book, too, it’s a really fun read for comic fans. [...]

Yeah, I remember watching a documentary about Nirvana, and it’s amazing to look at the top of the Billboard albums charts RIGHT before Nirvana is Michael Jackson’s Dangerous.

Talk about night and day!

Then again, Nirvana lost the top spot after a week to Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind, so it’s not like the transformation of the music scene was an instantaneous one.

I remember seeing the Dookie album at a college record station my friends were doing an hour at. I thought ‘this is a stupid cover, I hope it isn’t a hit’.

Damn it!

92 was a strange year for pop rock music, you went from Cherry Pie to jeremy.

Did you ever think you’d be typing the phrase “Dookie came out in 1994″?
