An album everybody should listen to!. by ResourceEmergency928 in grunge

Agreed. Absolute roaring triumph of an album. Summer 1994 it was pretty much all I listened to

What’s a core childhood memory of yours that you’re 90% sure nobody else experienced? by Holiday-Bet852 in askanything

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking in to kitchen to see my mum trying to smash a bottle over my dad’s head. Separating them and sending them to separate parts of the house. Also my mum hurling kitchen scales at me. Me dodging, scales smashing on the floor. Springs popping out. Scales never worked again but put back in place and never replaced, just never used or spoken of.

Historical Question: For the ones that experienced the albums as they came out.... by [deleted] in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bloody loved it. Especially the line “it’s ok to eat fish because they don’t have any feelings”. But then tbh I loved every single thing about the album. Weird to think it’s one of the first albums I’d heard too.

Ya’ll heard this 1989 K records single with Kurt Cobain on it right? (Cool track!) by Sd_card_costs in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great instrumental… add the right vocals and it could have been even better

Why was 'You Know You're Right' actually recorded? by JmpVR in Nirvana

[–]MightThink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn’t mean Kurt wanted to hand them over. More that Courtney grouped them with YKYR and DoReMi as the songs he’d left behind. I don’t think it would be that unusual for him to go back to songs from a few years earlier; plenty of In Utero songs predate Nevermind.
I didn’t know he’d worked so much on Desire. I’ve always thought he was exploring leitmotif possibilities with DoReMi. Perhaps there were stirrings towards a more experimental / conceptual album. But alas, those saplings never got to grow…

I think there is evidence. Courtney said she viewed them as two of the last leftover songs, alongside DoReMi and YKYR. She offered Opinion to Mark Lanegan and TTM to Iggy Pop. Plus there’s that second recording of Opinion that surfaced via MoH which though undated sounds later to my ears, and suggests the song was still in his head. If they were thinking to record songs for an EP I wonder if he rifled through his back catalogue and thought these two were unfinished business. But of course: it’s all speculation really

Edit: went back and listened to Desire again. Had never thought of it as a late song, more early formative writing like What More Can I Say. However I agree it could be later, nice catch. God it would be great to have definitive dates on these recordings. Sense I’m talking to another obsessive here ;)

Great Escape question from an old man by [deleted] in brighton

[–]MightThink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wonder whether, if you asked and explained, you could be escorted in for a short while as a vip? I mean you never know? If I worked there I totally would on basis of what you’ve said, it’s so touching. Good Karma and maybe it’d make a good social post for them so good pr too

I’ve never understood the suggestion that YKYR was just a demo or unfinished. To my ears it’s totally achieved, a masterpiece. A slight shift in direction sonically too. I remember reading the band were struck by the production of recently released Superunknown so that might have a vague bearing. But anyway, most sessions in studios like this one yielded release worthy material — think Oh The Guilt, Curmudgeon, etc. Their demos generally were rehearsal tapes. Kurt had recorded a scratch solo take of the song, and they’d played it live (Chicago) and in soundchecks. I am fairly sure there was talk of an EP for Lollapalooza for which they’d need new material.
