kurt cobain’s boyhood home
from nirvana, kurt cobain posted in music by pete_nice
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, inc.
from ween posted in music by pete_nice
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).
graphic sound studio
from ween posted in music by pete_nice
The go-to studio for multiple tracks (and albums) for Ween, Graphic Sound Studio is a studio run by Greg and Patricia Frey in Ringoes (East Amwell), New Jersey.
"Baby Bitch" (track #7 on Chocolate and Cheese) was recorded at Graphic Sound in a frenzy. Dean and Gene were going through a prolific song-writing phase, and usual drummer Claude Coleman was on tour. Pat Frey filled in on drums for "Baby Bitch" and the song was done by the second take.
Ween's 2003 live album All Request Live for Chocodog Records was also done at Graphic Sound Studio, as well as numerous additional tracks and song portions throughout the years.
