At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops

The following screenshot fully describes the current state of mind of myself and my dearest Jessica:

The "real" us:
We have fallen head-first into a pile of NINETIES. The symptoms?
  • Watching Pearl Jam's MTV Unplugged circa '92 TWICE in one night and giggling like school girls over Eddie Vedder's hotness.
  • An intense desire to wear plaid
  • Missing our old combat boots with a vengeance
  • YouTubing old music videos and sighing in unison at the memories they bring
  • Trying to find an attractive way to wear overalls again (this is still very questionable)
We are heading to Sonic Boom (every music collectors' haven) this evening to shop for our long-lost 90's rock loves.

The shopping list at present:






Beyond excited. I've got my chucks laced up and my plaid button up. I'm ready to shop!
Any suggestions to add to our shopping list?

TEN

So apparently Edge102 did their job as far as brainwashing goes - I stopped in HMV on the way home from work and picked up Pearl Jam's TEN - reissued deluxe edition. My my is it ever pretty. First disc is the original record - remastered. Second disc is TEN REDUX - the remixed version plus 6 bonus tracks, and it also comes with a DVD of Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged (previously unreleased). All in a beautiful little book with tons of classic pictures, notes, artwork and doodles from the band.





I'm listening to the first disc and it sounds bloody brilliant. One of those records that really stands the test of time.

Listening to it makes me remember the hardcore crush I had on Eddie Vedder in the 90's when I was just a young lass. The video for Jeremy did me in hardcore:

...*sigh* still does.
