Way in the long long ago, there was an AIDS epidemic sweeping the nation and people were freaked out. After things calmed down a bit, people started to try and raise money to find a cure and get treatment for people. So a bunch of really awesome musicians at the time that you whippersnappers probably never heard of because it’s rock and roll and not EDM or Beyoncé, well they got together and wrote some new and original music for a compilation album to help raise money for AIDS. These 90’s bands are on the shirts you kids buy with the fake fading at Target and Hot Topic, bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Soundgarden. So the album sold like crazy and they even released a VHS version so that you could see the bands play and they even aired it on MTV which believe it or not, used to actually play music before VEVO and YouTube became a thing. There’s even interviews with some of the artists like Billy Corgan who was the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins before he started wrestling in the WWE. I know, it’s weird right? So anyway he wrote Glynis about a girl he knew who died from AIDS and how it felt to go through that and watch people react to the cause of death more than that a person died. Sad, right? So now that everyone cares about ALS and cancer and since Magic Johnson and South Park cured AIDS, they decided to release this on vinyl for the first time because 20 years ago it was relevant and now hipsters like archaic technology like records, and schmucks like me like nostalgia. And that totally makes sense. Does it still benefit AIDS? Probably. Is the album good? Well, it was before, so it still is. Should you buy it? Well, do you have a record player and do you like grunge rock? If both those answers are yes, then you have your answer. In fact, you should buy it even if you don’t answer yes to those things because it’s gonna help people with AIDS and that’s a good thing to do.
