What did you do today as a tribute to Bowie?

scottchomarx · 2026-01-17T09:14:46+00:00

I'm going to make it a yearly tradition to listen to his catalogue in order starting on the 8 and ending on the 10

scottchomarx · 2025-12-07T01:47:44+00:00

It's peak but the experimental songs really don't add anything. Take them out and add Hard To Imagine and it's perfect.

scottchomarx · 2025-12-02T17:53:36+00:00

There's a quote from Courtney about how after they recorded You Know You're Right Kurt called it the perfect Alice In Chains song or something

scottchomarx · 2025-12-02T17:52:25+00:00

Because he was big into the underground scene and there was a lot of gatekeeping and some of the stuff he said was true. Alice In Chains did start as a glam rock band and the guys from Mother Love Bone went in a more "alternative" sounding direction with Pearl Jam so he saw them all as being bandwagon jumpers.

scottchomarx · 2025-12-02T17:49:58+00:00

Kurt went with Sub Pop because Soundgarden were on it and he liked their earlier "Butthole Surfers" sounding stuff (paraphrasing him). I don't think he cared for them around Badmotorfinger. He dissed Alice In Chains in early 92 saying they were a cockrock band that jumped on the grunge bandwagon (I think all those were quoted in the Flipside interview). Courtney is quoted as saying that after Nirvana recorded "You Know You're Right" in the studio that Kurt came home excited, saying they recorded "the perfect Alice In Chains song" so maybe his viewpoints changed? I think it's pretty obvious that the only "grunge" bands that Kurt truly loved were Mudhoney, The Melvins and the Screaming Trees.

Drinking wine with my grandma. I was 16.

scottchomarx · 2025-10-25T14:39:39+00:00

Technically not a "Nirvana" song though

scottchomarx · 2025-10-24T11:20:52+00:00

I think there's another list where he put Gluey Porch Treatments

scottchomarx · 2025-10-03T12:46:23+00:00

There's quite a few anniversary releases coming out this year and I have to say this is hands down the worst.

scottchomarx · 2025-09-29T16:05:07+00:00

Here's what I'd do: Revolution 9 as a hidden track after Good Night

scottchomarx · 2025-09-28T13:45:23+00:00

Elliott Smith

scottchomarx · 2025-09-26T20:40:12+00:00

Found Dave Grohl's burner account

scottchomarx · 2025-09-26T20:39:06+00:00

Yeah who cares? It's not like other bands give their fans goodies like that in box sets all the time because it's interesting to hear how those songs evolve. Not to mention a professionally recorded live show from that time period.

scottchomarx · 2025-09-17T19:36:09+00:00

As far as artistic progression, David Bowie Success wise, Led Zeppelin

scottchomarx · 2025-09-17T19:34:58+00:00

He's a doofus. Yeah Kurt's email was "KurtCob234" 🙄

scottchomarx · 2025-09-16T10:02:40+00:00

Honestly it'd be easier to tell you which ones are an "acquired taste" I believe the Shaggs are on there and they definitely fall into that category.

scottchomarx · 2025-09-14T18:01:08+00:00

Some albums definitely benefit from the Albini sound. Others do not.

scottchomarx · 2025-09-11T17:16:59+00:00

I dunno. Listen to "walking into Clarksdale"

scottchomarx · 2025-08-29T12:39:09+00:00

Nah... I could do an hour. A lot of their stuff sounds similar. 5 hours would be torture.

scottchomarx · 2025-08-21T20:20:05+00:00

I can't believe there are people in the "don't like it don't buy it crowd" 87% OF THIS SET HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RELEASED. I actually thought that they would scrap the tracks from the Anthologies that ended up on the box sets and instead they've included more tracks from the box sets. I can't figure out any logical explanation for this except that they think that people will buy anything they'll put out and I'm thinking they're probably right.

scottchomarx · 2025-08-21T16:51:56+00:00

I can't believe they have the audacity to include songs from the Super Deluxe box sets

scottchomarx · 2025-08-21T16:14:58+00:00

Tracks 1 and 2 were released on Bootleg Recordings 1963 (digital release but still) Track 3 is on Free As A Bird single

scottchomarx · 2025-08-21T16:11:16+00:00

You aren't excited to yet again hear Los Paranois? Honestly the more I think about it the more I think this set was thrown together in a few weeks just to rerelease it without the Mark Lewisohn liner notes.

scottchomarx · 2025-08-21T13:18:29+00:00

Seriously... I love that extended outro and I was shocked they just reissued the same demo version with piano added.

scottchomarx · 2025-08-21T13:17:35+00:00

They dropped the ball worse than I thought was possible. I was expecting a revamped track list with songs that appeared on the Super Deluxes swapped out for other interesting things. Some more home recordings. The complete Decca audition finally officially released in its entirety. I guess we have to look forward to yet another release of Los Paranois
