NIRVANA
Bleach
2011 U.S. Reissue

Around 1989/1990, a lot of Nirvana’s peers could do what they did in most respects.
There were a lot of bands who had their “Floyd The Barber” or “Sifting”.

There weren’t too many who could write songs like “About A Girl”. That’s where Kurt always separated himself from everybody else. His insane knack for melody & Beatles-esque catchiness.
Kurt was a stone-cold killer of a songwriter.

Bleach is such an incredible album for the $600 something dollars they spent on it.
It shouldn’t have been such a surprise that they ended up dominating the world for 3 years.
Anybody who heard Bleach in real time in ‘89 should have easily seen it coming.
About A Girl, School, Love Buzz, Floyd The Barber, Negative Creep…
Just one slayer after another.

Tony Hawk says his grandson 'Ronin' knows that grandpa's house is the 'fun' house. That's his grandson who is the son of his son and Frances Bean Cobain. The same Bean Kurt used to carry around everywhere like a proud papa back in the 90s.

I need to go take a nap now.

#American director #Samuel_Bayer, known for music videos for #Nirvana, #Metallica, etc., came to #Ukraine to create a film about the struggle and resilience of #Ukrainians during the war.

During his visit, he travelled to the frontline and de-occupied regions with the mission to capture stories of people who endured the occupation and show a real #Ukraine. #American actor and friend of #Ukraine #Sean_Penn also joined the filming process.

NIRVANA
In Utero B-Sides
2023 Worldwide pressing
10” @ #33rpm

This 10” came with the 2023 30th Anniversary pressing of In Utero, & as a Nirvana completist, it’s the only reason I bought that less than ideal pressing.

All these songs (plus alternate Scott Litt mixes of the singles) were on the 3xLP 20th Anniversary issue, which I have, & is THE best pressing of In Utero that exists (It’s borderline audiophile).

Just as an extra thought off my last post:
I get emotional when I listen to that record.
My son, the same age NOW as I was THEN, came in & saw that I was a little emotional & had tears in my eyes.

“You ok, Dad?”

“Yeah son, I’m ok. This album just takes me somewhere… else.”

“You really miss him still, huh?”

“I do son.”

“I get it, Dad. Just be glad you had him. I’m still searching for MY Kurt. We have NOBODY. You could have had dickheads like Drake or worse… Post Malone.”

NIRVANA
MTV Unplugged In New York
2019 Europe 2xLP Reissue
25th Anniversary

December ‘93, the week prior to airing, I was riddled with anticipation. Kurt & Nirvana were the center of my young being for 2 years.

The exhilaration of that night was quickly extinguished 7 months later.
It was agonizing, & still is.

The most famous funeral ever, with the departed alive & unwell.

Still painful for me, & a lot of others my age who lived thru it in real time.

Not a bad little 2-day road trip haul!

Super clean Peter Gabriel upgrade original copy, some They Might Be Giants, Brilliant Orange (great #80s #vancouver band!), Icicle Works, Blue Murder, and the 2xLP anniversary edition of Nirvana’s Unplugged, which is superior sounding in every way to the 1xLP Europe pressing I had.
Great little road haul!

"What became In Utero was, in fact, banged out in a couple of weeks in a Minnesota studio. But as he foresaw, Nirvana’s label, Geffen, interfered, insisting the record be remixed to soften Albini’s recordings. A compromise was eventually struck: the singles Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies were smoothed out into more commercially friendly songs, while the rest of Albini’s work remained as is."

David Dufrene de @auposte visionne et commente la sorte de #biographie réalisée par un #media #extreme_droite à son propos. C'est un sujet grave: sous des airs de sérieux et de professionnalisme, on désinforme et attise la haine. Pourtant l'attitude de Dufrene est tellement #cool et modèle! De plus il y a un extrait des Béruriers Noirs #BxN (mais pas de #Nirvana).

Just a reminder:
We’ve been without Kurt Cobain for 31 years now.
