From Rebecca Merchant: "I chose this album because it’s been one of my constants since it came out in 1990. I was 14 going on 15, just on the other side of a bunch of bad childhood stuff and starting to learn what it was like to no longer be a child. Getting all of my music from MTV’s 120 Minutes, which I taped every Sunday night because my parents wouldn’t let me stay up that late. I would then watch the episode over and over until I had to record over it on the next Sunday night. Imagine little Becca, sitting on the carpeted floor in front of the tube TV, mouth open, trying to process the “Dirty Boots” video. Every song on that album rages, even “Scooter and Jinx” (which has a fun origin story, btw). Cameo by Chuck D? C’mon, it doesn’t get better than this. Thanks to Cassy, Tom, and James for having me on and for loving this album along with me."
