The anniversary celebration, named after a bit of trolling Sub Pop's receptionist pulled on the New York Times in the early '90s, begins on March 19 and will include all of Sub Pop's 1,200 albums, singles and EPs in chronological order. 

Listeners can expect to hear classic debuts from Nirvana and Soundgarden, Sunny Day Real Estate's Diary, Postal Service's Give Up and so much more.

The event will last roughly four months and lead up to the label's FREE 30th anniversary concert in August.
