  • Tune of the Week 23/09/2011: Nirvana

    nevermindSeeing as today sees the release of the 20th anniversary edition of Nevermind, I had to pick something from it.

    In 1991, or really here in Ireland on 1992 when the monster truck that was Nirvana took hold, I was in a very different place (ie a mess) and wasn’t quite sure if I ‘got’ Nirvana or not. I liked the singles and the stuff that was played on MTV.. (remember they actually did play music once upon a time) but never really delved any deeper than that to investigate. This song always reminds me of that time, the crap that goes on when you’re 19 and how to get out of it.

    This week’s Tune of The Week is Smells Like Teen Spirit.

  • Nirvana: Nevermind gets 20th Anniversary Reissue

    nirvanaOne way of telling you you’re getting old is realizing that Nirvana‘s Nevermind is twenty years old! Hard to believe. To celebrate this Nevermind will be reissued on September 23rd.

    There will be a couple of different formats for a standard CD to  a 4cd/1DVD Super deluxe edition, which will feature unreleased tracks, obsure b sides, radio sessions, different mixes, all that jazz. The Super Deluxe edition also features a full studio live B sides and will also feature the first pre-Nevermind demos and demos recorded by Butch Vig. You’re also going to hear his version of the album rather than the version that was commercially released.

    As if that wasn’t enough, there will be BBC recordings and a 90 page book with photos from the Nevermind era. The Super Deluxe Set will be limited to a numbered run of 10000. Start saving now! (more…)
