I need another Nirvana album like I need a hole in my head.

Jonathan Hohensee: I need another Nirvana album like I need a hole in my head.

Yeah, I need another like I need...another...one

Dammit! You took the good one

Thread over.

In before "Courtney killed him!"
The mentally-ill, heroin-addled (he was on a first-name-basis with every dealer of horse in his base of operations before ever making Courtney's acquaintance) sad-sack fame whore committed suicide (twice!) on the night that he died.

In before "Kurt wrote 'Live Through This'" and/or "Kurt made her a star!" (he didn't).

In before "Courtney was Kurt's Ono or Spungen!" (she was along for the ride. He was at the wheel driving himself where he ultimately ended up).

Yeah. Courtney is a deeeeeeeeeeeeply flawed person (and someone who very much should never have been "heavy with pup" during her lifetime). But she doesn't deserve to be sh*t upon for acts she played no part in.

And no, I'm not her. Nor do I know her personally. Although I do know someone who does.

A local radio station is playing tracks of the Reading album and they sound great, I can't wait to own the DVD.

Wondering if Courtney Love is secretly Japancakes' puppy or something...

It's traditional to save the frantic, defensive, "Leave Britney alone!" missives until after someone tries to tarnish your precious darling.

It's long been one of their best bootlegs; very glad to see it released officially. Far better than that misguided Muddy Banks nonsense.

Why would you remaster Bleach? It's supposed to sound like it's being played through shiatty headphones on a half worn out cassette.

Hey. There are milllllllllllllllions of things that she's done within view of the public eye to give her deserved sh*t for (and zilllliona more done outside of it [well, that haven't as of yet come to light]). I just can't stomach annnnyone getting bashed for things that they are demonstrably not party to.

And no, I've not forgotten where I'm typing this.
And yes, I've done my share of bashing of Courtney (both on and offline). But only when she deserves it. And she doesn't go very long without doing something to earn deserved ridicule and scorn.

Am not the the world's most ardent fan of either Courtney's or Kurt's music.
They had a few solidly good songs between 'em.

Cake Hunter: Why would you remaster Bleach? It's supposed to sound like it's being played through shiatty headphones on a half worn out cassette.

Agreed.
But since it was remastered by the original producer, it should be at least worth a listen or two.

Unfortunately NOT in before some freak made this about Courtney Love.

Bleach is the only Nirvana album that I can stand and i don't understand the motivation behind remastering it. The basement feel is genuinely part of why it's such a great album imo.

Can we get some more articles about how Kurt Cobain was the misunderstood voice of a wayward generation?

I want to see Gen X turn into the boomers as fast as they possibly can and this is just one more way to speed it up thanks

Aw, you love me! Around these parts, "freak" is the utmost term of endearment.

Anyway, and for the record: "Bleach" has the largest number of what I consider to be good Nirvana tracks. That's why it's the only complete Nirvana album in my collection. (The few good songs on "Nevermind" ("On A Plane" and "Lounge Act") and "In Utero" ("Very Ape" and "Serve the Servants" and "FFWHHROS") I purchased as single tracks.

Incesticide was a great album.

Whine all you like. The fact is, Cobain was very influential on the music scene in a very short time. You may not remember the state of music in the late 1980s, but outside of punk and rap, it was a pretty moribund collection of hair metal, derivative, recycled dance pop and not much else.

Whether you like their music or not, you have to admit that Nirvana were damned influential.

But go on and bash them if you like. If that's what it takes to make you feel good about your own taste in music, then have at it.

Christi: Incesticide was a great album.


I won't dismiss kurt entirely because through him (through "Incesticide") I did discover the genius of The Vaselines.

If I could, I'd thank him personally for that, if not much else.

Japancakes you're not Courtney. You can spell.

Eat_At_Milliways You're referring to ALL of GenX as "tards"? This is the generation that fought a war in the Middle East so your Facebooking punk-ass wouldn't have to.

i kind of see both of your points.
yes, i suppose nirvana were influential and yes they were poster boys for a demographic shift in the consumption of popular music. seems like you get one of those every ten years or so as new kids grow into adolescence. before nirvana it was duran duran or prince or elvis costello or the cars or someone like that. i dont happen to think nirvana were all that great, however. i seem to remember a lot of small-scale postpunk bands around in those days and nirvana was not special imho. i think janes addiction were a much better band, for example.
nevertheless a lot of ink was spilled about how nirvana was the voice of the new generation and the public appears to have bought it hook, line and sinker. people still want to talk about kurt cobain as a beautifully tragic lost genius soul cut off in his prime. that makes him the jim morrison of his generation with all the bombast, chicanery and flapdoodle such a designation implies.

i suspect every era has a moribund collection of manufactured music in the hit parade or billboard top 40 or itunes or whatever is used to gauge sales at any particular point in time.

whatever, Bleach was a great album.

I still like nirvana AND hole
(and TAD)

FloydA: You may not remember the state of music in the late 1980s, but outside of punk and rap

Or not. A huge volume of underground, experimental and avante gaurde music came out of the 80's. Believe it or not ... there IS music beyond the radio dial.

this is Nirvana's lasting influence:


Japancakes: I won't dismiss kurt entirely because through him (through "Incesticide") I did discover the genius of The Vaselines.

that's it. He influenced people to pick up records by arguably better artists. I like Nirvana, but I'm hard-pressed to think of anyone they really influenced beyond 1996. I see Nirvana as more iconic of the 80s indie underground finally gaining mainstream acceptance, but that's about it.

Oh jesus ... now with the RIP crap?
