Rediscovering ... Nirvana???
Fifteen years ago my life was full of youthful innocence and then, well, then came Nirvana. I spent the next two years with my ears wrapped around In Utero, Nevermind, Insecticide and then Unplugged.
By 1996, I fell in The Smiths and re-found the Cure (for whom I was almost beat up in '89). But by the late-'90's Nirvana had become radio staple, and I was tired of hearing them. From time-to-time I'd pull out Unplugged and escape to 1994, but the band became little more than a period piece.
A couple of years ago, Dirty Funker remixed Nirvana, and for a few months I put "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in my Friday night DJ rotation.
So here it, half way through 2008 and I think I'm ready to rediscover Nirvana again.
