20th Anniversary!? Holy shit, I am old! I was in the heady throes of high school 20 years ago when
Nevermind first hit. And I had a horizontally striped shirts and dirty long hair. And I played in a terrible band, and yes, we even did a terrible cover of
Smells Like Teen Spirit. (And no, I can't upload it. It was on cassette!) The memories are flooding back and I am slowly going foetal.
But you can have happier memories by downloading a free 13 track tribute album from
Spin right NOW! It features covers by artists such as:
Amanda Palmer,
Meat Puppets,
Midnight Juggernauts and
The Vaselines, and you'd be nuts to miss if if you've ever dabbled in some Kurt. I'm just listening to it for the first time now!
I can convert cassette to mp3.
ReplyDeleteDon't tempt me!
ReplyDeleteOh man I wish I could see photos!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone end up listening to this? I totally dig the cover of "In Bloom". This was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI got it, and yeah it's really cool. On A Plain sounded awesome, and it's one of my favorite songs. Titus Andronicus did a sweet version of Breed. I've been liking they're stuff more and more lately without actually hearing any of their full albums.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Breed was one of my favourites on there too. Was a little disappointed with Lithium though because I was waiting for it to let fly with that chorus and it refused to. Lithium's one of my favourites on the original album.
ReplyDeleteI agree on that, Lithium is such a good song and this version never really built up. It was cool to hear The Vaselines cover a Nirvana song though.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad cover album! thanks...
