I really need to spend more time w/ Nirvana. I really only know the hits/singles.
The Unplugged album is still great to this day. I don't play their studio albums much, but will listen to some of their live stuff from time to time. Their Live At Reading release is SOLID.
i used to run a dialup bulletin board (think a msgboard like this but with some downloads and a couple'a text games OH and of course since only one person could call up and read/post at any given time, if your board was popular you had to exert quality control on your users/members otherwise your board would be filled up with lame people all day and thus it would suck. that touch of elitism still exists in your average "fuck you i'm going TL;DR" sini post cuz man, i come from a day and age when people dialed up all these different boards and posted on boards like we've got here that since it was literally their dime their dancefloor they said everything they wanted to say and since you couldn't get a response in 2-5mins that you reply to in another 2-5 minutes, msgboards weren't the hybrid of twitter and IRC that places like this are now.... people actually wrote MESSAGES. like i do. AHEM.
wow i got way the fuck off topic. alls i meant to say was that the board i ran was called "
dimension seven" which was a cover they did that was on that legendary $30 hormoaning CD/EP that was behind glass at the tower records in the mecca and as such it was always some "OOOOHHHH"-level shit to us little geeky wannabe music nerds and when we finally got to hear the songs on hormoaning it was like a special occasion so go figure we named our board after one of them.
of course later in life i'd go back and listen to the song and realize "holy shit i think this song is about being latently gay / in the closet" and then laugh when i realize that the friend i ran the board with (he had the comptuer and the phone line, i designed the msgboard) eventually had a falling out with me where quite honestly i always maintained he was seemingly getting pretty gay towards me at the end BUT I DIGRESS!
dimension seven is a good song anyways tho i forgot who actually wrote it. i love that good ol fashioned heroin song aneurysm (and this was a point in my life where i hadn't even smoked weed yet) and then floyd the barber! how can you not like the song floyd the barber? i think sliver was another childhood jam off of the first LP that i liked... negative creep (i can relate on all levels. ha). drain you is a great song. i think i remember dive being a fun one too..... and truth be told i really liked the stuff that got supermegauberpopular on nevermind, in fact i always liked that stuff way better than in utero even tho by most-if-not-all-accounts nirvana got way better at music/making between nevermind and in utero and in utero is prolly a more artistically cromulent endeavor than nevermind, still, the only thing that ruined nevermind is that those big 3-4 songs or whatever were played SO GOD DAMN MUCH that playing smells like teen spirit is more of a nostalgic trip back to 1992 than a chance to listen to a nirvana song.
but in bloom, come as you are, lithium.... oh my drain you's a neverminder.... and of course stay away / pay to play... those were way more fun than anything on in utero which never really mattered to me that much as your typical suburban-USA 90s teenager with his USDA-regulated-once-per-lifetime-6-month-nirvana-kick.
holy shit i'm way too TLDRy today. i'll change that right up!
