or maybe some bleach.

Hairspray Queen has always been a fave off of this, but listening back for the first time in ages the other day, strikes me just how good it is. Never realised how new-wavey it is, like a heavy metal version of Devo or something.

The last four songs are a great run, some of the weirder tracks Nirvana recorded - though I've heard a lot of hate for Aero Zeppelin.

love aero zeppelin, proper neandergenius

Vox on Hairspray Queen have always reminded me of Bobcat Goldthwait.

I never listen to this one, primarily because of Hairspray Queen. Only tracks that I love are Dive and Aneurysm. Don't care or can't remember the rest of them. It was like, oh I have heard a cz records compilation before.

Some days it's my favourite. A few dull tunes on the first side but it's Nirvana at their most unhinged and splintering. Don't you even like Sliver, How's Life?

I really don't like Sliver. :D

On first listen I had presumed it to be one of the many cover songs.

I don't particularly like Sliver.

Incesticide was my introduction to the whole outtakes/b-sides stopgap thing, and it does the whole concept prouder than any other such collection I've heard unless the bonus tracks on the Pavement reissue series count. It rules, FUIUD.

Somehow I never stopped and *hits bowl* really listened to "Beeswax" until like 3 years ago. now it's one of my favorite Nirvana songs. i love this performance of it (ostensibly they played mostly rarities and abandoned songs on purpose at this show to piss off the misogynistic crowd):

That specific version of "Beeswax" is one of their best songs.

probably because Grohl improves on the original drumming

Yeah, and Kurt's singing and guitar playing are much better. The version on Insecticide is pre-Bleach. Shame they didn't play it ever again after that Argentina show.
