.. erh .. nice stoppers there buddyˇ *lOl* HYPE! was a documentary on the grunge explosion .. tHis littl' excerpt perty much says it all from the cd sleeve ..
" .. the kiss of grunge ..two guys from California waltz into town with movie camera pitching some goofy hooey about caturing the TRUE story of Seattle. Waaay late, you know? Amazingly, nobody told this outsider to f**k off. Somehow, Steve Helvey and Doug Pray got everyone to participate, managed to put the story and the music together, and even made sense of it.
Whether it be through Van Connor screaming the obvious, Conrad Uno revealing the secret, or Kim Thayil nailing it in baby-cake terms, the film is your all access pass to understanding the herpetic outbreak we know as grunge. We see how the sore began, festered, exploded and finally, how the pretty smile re-appeared .. Megan Jasper"
