Two Princes

I divide Sub Pop into two eras of critical and financial success.

Era One: Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney.

Era Two: The Shins, The Fleet Foxes.

If you ask me, and I know you're not, the best stuff came out between the two.

Interesting, diverse and getting better with age.

Northwest

Initially I stayed away because they were from Oregon not Washington.

It was a brief moratorium. I was a kid. I didn't know any better.
