But wait, there’s more, including a profile with gonzo animation legend Bruce Bickford, and a preview of David Schmader’s new show. All this, plus a too-weird-to-spoil story involving The Seattle Opera’s Wade Madsen and a turkey. Note: That last sentence was not a typo.

Don some flannel and watch as he tells the whole story: the founding and early successes of Seattle’s own Sub Pop record label; the rise of powerhouses such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam; the insane media hype surrounding the grunge explosion; the suicide of Kurt Cobain; and finally, the genre’s mid-to-late nineties decline.
