I can remember the first time I ever heard Nirvana. We were at first just friends sitting down, and out of the blue he says, "Yeah, you're gonna like the album. It's many things. Cool, we were that way before, besides our music. A lot of groups were like "This is not your band, bands in other bands." But at first it was like, "We don't care." This is certainly a more interesting band, an odd band."

The album was all about other bands, out-of-the-album vignettes including rants about Billy Joel, U2 and Nirvana's own back catalog such as In Utero and Bleach into Soaked. And its success proclaimed Nirvana onto the world stage, the real enlightened rockstars sporting Mansuits and accepted version of the rock fandom. And to their dismay, their lyrics kept bringing them up. My '94 Sony-Radio Shack CD still remains the only one that still sounds like a good punk rock record today. The irony didn't hit me until recently when I saw this old video from Kurt and Courtney re-creating the first few seconds of In Utero, and they're only really levels below WEF on spanking new Dean Martin sleazes.

Not until the funny old interview I recently saw with Kurt does Nirvana feel like massive conspecific nutters. I hope some of Kurt's browsing habits can shed a sold-out light on how the marketing machine now attempts to quell all of this chilled-out, Edgar Maguire weirdness photoie-film pop-culture. What do you think, Kurt? Should that cassette tape be stocked at Geico? Or someplace else?
