Kurt Cobain spent his first two and a half years of life in the nearby city of Hoaquiam, WA. His family then moved to this address in Aberdeen, to a neighborhood called "The Flats."
Many of Cobain's locations are in walking distance from this address, including the Young Street Bridge that he used to hang out under, two blocks away. The bridge goes over the Wishkah River; From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah draws its name from this location.

Reiner Design Consultants was the design company that created the cover for Ween's Chocolate and Cheese.
Originally envisioned by Gene Ween (Aaron Freeman), the cover was a take-off of old Ohio Players album covers, like Honey. Dean Ween thought that the belt should look like a boxing belt from the 70's (and he now claims to hold the belt).
