Is "Talk to Me" a cover? It sounds very familiar (in the same way that all nirvana songs sound familiar, even upon hearing it the first time) but otherwise doesn't sound at all like a nirvana song.

xp I tend to despise most Courtney Love trash-talk, but I think that this (handling Kurt's recorded output) is the one area where a legitimate claim could be made that she is a scourge on this earth.

I'd condense that to, "I tend to despise Courtney Love; she is a scourge on this earth."

is that rarities box set no good? i've never heard it.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link
the box set is great! lot of curiosities that are actually worth listening to repeatedly. check out this one, for example:

also check this out for being possibly the weirdest song in the Nirvana catalog-- but impossibly catchy too

the video of them in a rumpus room practicing with some dude simulating a strobe light by flicking the light switch on and off is pretty charming.

I think "Dive" is still one of my favorite "non-regular studio album" track, followed closely by "I Hate Myself and Want to Die".

Great tracks. One of my favorite non-album tracks is the split single they did with the Jesus Lizard, "Oh the Guilt."

you gotta admit, no one can scream like that these days

on Bleach Kurt screamed until his voice gave out. I remember my first few listens were painful for the whole "geezus that must hurt like hell" angle.

Dive, Oh the Guilt, and I Hate Myself are all excellent songs...Been a Son is totally my favorite 'non-regular studio album' track, but there were a lot of great ones...

I'm on board w/ this track ^^

Even in His Youth is pretty good too; not quite as good as Oh the Guilt or I Hate Myself or Verse Chorus Verse, but I still like it lots...

re: sliver/manual strobe light
i think it's this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGIUpIVvxtY
it looks straight out of Freaks & Geeks but with more mustaches.
