What Year Is It?

Nate just emailed me with an excellent question. The subject line was "What year is it?" and the body read: Just saw this headline: Matt Dillon Directs Dinosaur Jr Video. But 90s nostalgia is all around us. Here are a few examples off the top of my head:

- The Pixies just had a hugely successful reunion tour which lasted 2 years and isn't over yet. They play 3 dates in Australia this Spring.
- The Happy Mondays are playing Coachella this summer. As are Rage Against the Machine, Crowded House and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
- The Smashing Pumpkins are working on a new album.
- I am going to see The Pogues in a week.

If you want to know why I wholly embrace 90s musical nostalgia, just turn on your radio for a few minutes and check out some hot, hot James Blunt. Maybe dig yourself a little Fallout Boy. Fuck me, it's grim out there.
