Could have written this without hearing any of it i.e. guesswork.
Unfortunately, I guess he did and it's true.

just came here to post that. didn't realise this new version of Do Re Mi was *11 minutes*
― piscesx, Thursday, 12 November 2015 17:25 (eight years ago) link
Do Re Mi sounds a bit like an Automatic for the People attempt

i dont get this whole "invasion of privacy" thing. kurt is dead
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 November 2015 17:38 (eight years ago) link
the journals, albeit carefully curated and abridged, were much more invasive than these 4-track experiments.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 November 2015 17:39 (eight years ago) link
yeah, is this different from posthumous nick drake/elliott smith/etc releases? I don't care enough about Cobain's music to listen to his home recordings ... but I've definitely listened to and enjoyed my fair share of "privacy invading" albums.

Not one of my favourites either.

WHOA - RFUS above something in the way??? wtf?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:25 (eight years ago) link
YES! This was my #7 and there was absolutely no way it wasn't going to make my ballot. Such a furious gig opener, too.
― Turrican, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:26 (eight years ago) link
RFUS is without a doubt one of my favourite ever Nirvana songs, really can't say the same for 'Something In The Way'

RFUS is awesome. Would have placed Love Buzz over it personally but it deserves the magic number 27.
― Leonard Pine, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:31 (eight years ago) link
Didn't vote for RFUS but it would almost definitely make my top 30.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:33 (eight years ago) link
Anyway, such glancing over my ballot now... six of my selections have placed so far: 'Territorial Pissings', 'Radio Friendly Unit Shifter', 'tourette's', 'Love Buzz', 'Blew' and 'Floyd The Barber' ... of the rest: 'Stay Away', although I love the drumming on it, wasn't even a contender, and neither was 'Something In The Way' ... VERY surprised to see 'Sifting' and 'Swap Meet' make it. If 'Paper Cuts' makes it, my mind will be totally blown, even if I didn't vote for it. 'The Man Who Sold The World' was left off my ballot because I wanted to keep my ballot as cover version free as possible, although 'Love Buzz' sneaked in there, mostly 'cuz I love the bassline.
― Turrican, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:34 (eight years ago) link
Also, Nirvana covering Shocking Blue is far more interesting than Nirvana covering Bowie.

yeah that whole gig's great. love Pat chucking his fag away just before he starts playing.
― piscesx, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:52 (eight years ago) link
At first, I didn't get what a Radio Friendly Unit Shifter was. I figured it was an esoteric guitar pedal.
― how's life, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:53 (eight years ago) link
YES! 'Milk It' was my #14. This is one of the tracks on In Utero which would have been completely out of place on Nevermind. I can't even imagine what it would have sounded like with a Butch Vig production and an Andy Wallace mix.
― Turrican, Thursday, 12 November 2015 19:54 (eight years ago) link
"Milk It" was my #10. When I got In Utero as a gift in 94, I was already pretty heavily into old Sonic Youth and was listening to a lot of post-hardcore and some experimental music on the campus radio station. I was surprised to find that a lot of In Utero fit right in.

Didn't vote for it, but undeniably a classic song. Chad Channing really looks like Bob Weir there.
― how's life, Thursday, 12 November 2015 20:09 (eight years ago) link
An easy inclusion on my ballot, this, although I ended up ranking it #15 in the end. I've always loved this track, though!

My ballot was extremely low on songs from Bleach but this was always one of my favourites on there. Such a simple but cool hook.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 12 November 2015 20:13 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, if I were going to include a third song from Bleach, it would have been this one.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 12 November 2015 20:17 (eight years ago) link
so many Bleach songs i listened to in the past week that i have completely forgotten again
