Let’s start with a list of Northwest and/or grunge records born in 1989: Nirvana’s Bleach, Soundgarden’s Louder Than Love, TAD’s God’s Balls, Mudhoney, Gas Huffer’s “Firebug,” Love Battery’s “Between the Eyes,” Blood Circus’ Primal Rock Therapy, Fastbacks’ “Wrong, Wrong, Wrong,” Journey to the Center of Cat Butt, Screaming Trees’ Buzz Factory, The Melvins’ Ozma, Mother Love Bone’s Shine, Beat Happening’s Black Candy, Skin Yard’s “Start at the Top,” The Young Fresh Fellows’ This One’s For the Ladies, Swallow, and Coffin Break’s Psychosis and Rupture.
If you want to argue that other years produced better music in the Northwest, but you may fail to convince me. And while critics remember 1991 as the year that grunge and

Nirvana at the HUB Ballroom
(Okay, fine, you could also make a solid argument in favor of 1988 based around “Touch Me, I’m Sick,” Ultramega:OK, and Sub Pop 200. . . . )
1989 also marks the year that
It was also in 1989 that I began working at the A206 copy center at the University of Washington Medical Center and where I photocopied medical texts with long-time lamestain friend Steve Mandich, who educated me about the still nascent grunge scene via mix tapes. Those tapes, some of which I may still have, featured Mudhoney, the Stooges, Gas Huffer, the Clash, and tons of other pieces of greatness.
But, of course, more happened in
Sports
In the mid-80s, our parents used to reward Tom and me with periodic trips to the gone-but-forgotten Kingdome to watch the perennial basement-dwelling Seattle Mariners. Whoever managed the M’s back in the mid-80s hadn’t yet gotten the hang of running a baseball team, so although they fielded a handful of decent players (Richie Zisk, Alvin Davis, Mark Langston, Spike Owen), they also had a tendency to acquire novelty players, like former Seattle Pilot Gorman Thomas (Mariner career batting average, .194) and geriatric spit-baller Gaylord Perry for the final season of his fine career.
In 1989, things finally started looking up: Ken Griffey, Jr., made his big league debut. Omar Vizquel made his big league debut. The Mariners acquired Randy Johnson (and lost Mark Langston) via a trade with the Montreal Expos. Manager Jim Lefebvre took over the reigns that year (“I’m a Lefebvre Believer” bumper stickers were all the rage.) This line-up (plus Edgar
The novelty disease hadn’t worn off entirely by this point. Around this time, the Ms acquired Ken Griffey, Sr., and attempted to speed Griffey’s younger brother up through the minors to create a Griffey hat-trick. This didn’t pay off. Furthermore, who can forget the Ken Griffey chocolate bar? If you have, well, eBay can help you remember.
But 1980s retro is fashionable right now, and the Mariners are doing their part by sucking again.
In other sports news, Brian Bosworth ended his disastrous tenure as the Seahawks’ designated bulldozer target in 1989. The Sonics were in their Xavier McDaniel and Nate McMillan phase and played pretty decently. And in the 1989 Apple Cup game between the Huskies and Wazoo, security maced the shit out of fans who stormed the field to ransack the goalposts and toss them into

Media
Two game-changing articles were published in 1989.
First, Money Magazine ranked
Second, Everett True wrote the infamous Sub Pop article for Melody Maker. (You can find a cool pdf of it here). The article appeared after Bruce and Jon at Sub Pop flew True out to
It’s amusing to note that, in the opening sentence, True describes Mudhoney as “thrash metal merchants.” Thrash metal?

But in spite of my best intentions, I keep falling back on music-related events from 1989. I should stop this blog entry here, before I get into 4 Bands for 4 Bucks at the HUB Ballroom, etc. For your listening pleasure is a mix of notable songs from 1989.
Here's your awesome 1989 mix tape: Gas Huffer -- "Firebug" The Fastbacks -- "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong" Screaming Trees -- "Where the Twain Shall Meet" Mother Love Bone -- "Thru Fade Away" Skin Yard -- "Start at the Top" Tad -- "Nipple Belt" Blood Circus -- "White Dress" Love Battery -- "Between the Eyes" The Melvins -- "Eyes Flies"

This sucks, we want obscure grunge bands! I already have all this songs,...
I totally agree, 1989 is the best grunge year...but the songs...nothing new...you know you can find some obscure grunge bands on myhairsprayqueen too.
oh crap, where do I start?
Thanks for bringing up Gaylord Perry. I was at his 300th career win, and may actually still have the ticket stub somewhere. I had no clue that it was a significant event. In hindsight, maybe it wasn't...
By the way, I just realized that I was all of 14 years old when these records came out. And I have almost every band that you mentioned on my ipod today.
I agree that the songs on the mix are pretty common, but this post was written more with the year in mind than the music. But we should be back to posting more obscure stuff soon.
As you may have noticed, the pace of new posts has slowed a lot. Unfortunately, Tom and I are way busier now than when we started the blog. Sorry about that!
Nice post. 1989 is one of the great underrated years across the board, fo sho. I'll put in a plug for the Sub Pop Singles Club, which began the previous year, but hit its stride in '89 and remains one of the coolest ideas any label has ever had. 1989, if you'll recall, was the year the majors declared vinyl formally dead, so the fact that a cash-strapped indie would go all-in on 45s ... and on colored vinyl baby! ... was totally badass.
LD,
Great point about the singles club! Here was the roster for 1989: Flaming Lips, Les Thugs, Helios Creed, Afghan Whigs, Mad Daddies, TAD/Pussy Galore, Das Damen, Rapeman, Lazy Cowgirls, Lonely Moans, Honeymoon Killers, and Fugazi.
That's a damn solid list of bands right there.

I turned 17 in 1989. Saw Mudhoney, Tad and Nirvana each play the UK a few times (all together at the Lamefest in the now about to be knocked doen Astotia), caught Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr live for the 1st time too. Swans, Loop, Spacemen 3, Butthole Surfers, My Bloody Valentines, Soundgarden etc etc as well - ok not all Pacific North West... but it was an incredible year for music. 20 years on... my gosh:)
Sweet post!
Seattle was cool in 1989.
-jp
100% agreement. Truly the best year in Seattle musical hystory...
Caught the 1989 wave about five years late, but I have to agree that was a damn good year. You know, I'd rather have Sub Pop put out a remastered version of that s/t Mudhoney record than the *Superfuzz* they just did (although that is great too).
I know you guys don't re-post stuff too much, but I'd really like to hear that Bloodloss record you posted a ways back (*Truth Is Marching In*). I've got a couple of their Mark Arm-era records on cd if an exchange is in order. You should also check out Martin Bland's blog for his rip of side b of the *Ten Solid Inches* record:

Hey... not to leave a double comment on here... but could you PLEASE repost the Wellwater Conspiracy singles that you had up... the link is dead and I would really dig having them!! Thanks.
I couldn't help but notice you included "Wrong Wrong Wrong" on both the 1987 Awesome Mix Tape as well as the 1989 Awesome Mix Tape... what's up with that?

I remember 1989. A golden year, probably the last year Seattle was still Seattle. Soon after that, it began losing its identity to become the vacant megalopolis it is now.
I was a volunteer at KCMU during the time grunge started to get known (roughly 1988 to 1990), when KCMU was probably the only station in the country playing most of the bands covered in your blog. Little did any of us know that in 1991 it would be nationally famous.
Thanks for a great blog -- brings back memories.

I agree with most of your points, but a few need to be discussed further, I will hold a small talk with my partners and maybe I will look for you some suggestion soon..
I was about to say something on this topic. But now i can see that everything on this topic is very amazing and mind blowing, so i have nothing to say here. I am just going through all the topics and being appreciated. Thanks for sharing. @FreeSoft
