Never been this excited about a magazine issue/collab in a long time. In his Instagram post, Esquire Senior Features Editor Jerome Gomez asked, "Where were you in 1995?"
In 1995 I was in 2nd grade, an eight-year-old exposed to music beyond my years thanks to a family compound that allowed my cousins to play components (that's a kind of radio equipment, kids) with blasting speakers, to the dismay of our parents. My first Eraserheads memory that never left me is a fashion magazine editorial based on their single "Magasin." Folks, I know it's easy to download and spread this stuff online. But do yourself a favor and get off the Internet, buy the magazine and the CD for the sheer joy of smelling new paper, peeling off the CD's adhesive carefully so as not to tear the magazine page, leafing through the pages, and reading about the journey of this revolutionary band. Do it for the experience of putting the disc in its slot, hearing it click, and finally allowing the music to let you get lost for a minute or two. Do it for the dedicated people who made this magic happen. Buti na lang, Sabado bukas! #EsquireEheads
