AND introducing WE POD ECONO: an Our Band Could Be Your Life miniseries! We are taking a journey through Michael Azerrad’s chronicle of the 1980’s American underground rock scene, continuing today with Chapter Twelve: MUDHONEY! For the last leg of our trip, we turn to the Pacific northwest to cover Mudhoney, Sub Pop records, the origins of “Grunge”, a little subset of a subset of post-hardcore that probably won’t amount to much anyway. To do so we’re joined by Mark Yarm (not Marc Arm!), the author of “Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge.”
