Nirvana

[PonyOne]

Unbeknownst to me, I guess Courtney Love, Dave Grohl and Krist Novaselic have finally closed a deal on the old, unreleased Nirvana tracks. As Courtney put it, "it took a big sacrifice in terms of money, on their part..." which just makes me want her dead even more.

In any case, last night they debuted the "new" Nirvana song, "You Know You're Right" on the station here in LA. I don't know, it may have been floating aorund Napster or something, but it is the first time I've heard it.

Hearing it just reminds me what a loss Kurt Cobain was to the rock community, as well as the general art community, and the world as a whole. It sounds like the stuff other people were kinda starting to sorta do three years later.

If you get a chance see if you can find it, if not it'll be on the radio near you soon, I'm sure.

Here's a news story I found about it.

[PonyOne]

And another update... the song has been pulled from the air. Whee. Fortunately, I managed to get an MD recording of the song.

By the way, today was my birthday.

[^Chacron^]

Happy Birthday dude :cool: Have a nice hangover tomorrow.

[Raskolnikov]

Happy birthday man. I know you don't drink so I'll get hung over for you, deal?

After having seen a thing or two about Courtney Love, I refuse to give her my money by purchasing Nirvana discs or by watching her movies.

She has a lot of balls to live the way she does and call herself "punk" and "pro-free speach."

Then again, it's good to have her around because it reminds us that there's a little hypocrite in all of us.

[PonyOne]

That beast of a woman has enough hypocricy in her for the entire city of Berkley, CA and Cambirdge, MA combined: cities where people teach unequivocal love, peace, understanding and the right of life to all, and then encourage people to get abortions and thow violent protests towards Jews, old white men, and Christians.

I laughed whe she was championing Napster, all like "oooh yeah download as much music as possible to smack it to the man, the same 'man' who mad eme wealthy" and then withholds aleady recorded music fom being released because she wants more $$$. I, too, hate that woman... i'll get a friend to buy the box set, then buy it off him to resist guilt).

BTW, if you want to get drunk in true Tristan A. Sapp (me) fashion, Heineken and anything Korean were my brews of choice before i went sober. Have fun...

There you go again PonyOne! I had you all pegged as a liberal, and now you set me on my head! LOL . . . :D


Ohh, and happy birthday!

Hey man, whatever works... as long as it's got more alcohol than an overripe peach.

Yeah, I've got a weird spattering of political beliefs.

Liberal:
don't attack Iraq
better education and equality for all
tax the rich
better progams for single parents/parnets to be who can't afford it
free health care fo all
reduce spending on oil

Conservative:
bomb Palestine
get rid of Planned Parenthood, or at least heavily revamp it (pesonal issues/experiences)
for god's sake, train the military
allow religion in the classroom (as long as all religions can be repesented equally)

And I'm iffy on the death penalty. I basically just pick and choose & let the chips fall where they may.

[Christoph]

I'm definitely with you on not attacking Iraq. As for taxing the rich, well, the rich are the ones who make the laws, so there's really no chance that's ever going to happen.

"Yeah, I've got a weird spattering of political beliefs.

Liberal:
don't attack Iraq
better education and equality for all
tax the rich (this has to be within reason though, as in, not an 80% example... but in the US, it's much less than here, over here my dad is taxed a little over 40%)
better progams for single parents/parnets to be who can't afford it
free health care fo all (heheh, we have it though, so keeping it is my ovbjective)
bomb The likud

Conservative:
reduce spending on controling and/ or damaging oil producing countries (non-interventionist stance)
get rid of Planned Parenthood, or at least heavily revamp it (pesonal issues/experiences)
for god's sake, train the military
allow religion in the classroom (as long as all religions can be repesented equally)"

;)That's mine anyway...
Back to the thread, I think nirvana were one off the greatest bands of the last 20 years, and were really needed at the time... I do think they've opened the floodgates, for any edjit who cant write a song, to write angst driven rubbish... I think i've heard that song before.. but I'm not certain...
Kurt was a pretty good song writer (not as good as micheal stipe though :P), and really blew the 80's cheesers out of the water :) (but they weren't very good anyway)... but basically he did in 92/93/94 what punk did here in 77... it's weird though, cos punk ping ponged across the atlantic... origninated with the iggy, came over here, and gave us the Pistols, went back and gave us Nirvana..

[metalisbest]

Yea, I've heard it on the radio a few times. It reminds me of how much I miss Kurt and hate Courtney.

[Bardsley]

Hey, happy birthday. Stuff that Courtney Love has written is often fairly intelligent and interesting. She's a strange one allright. Her music's pretty **** too. Unlike the Zappa I'm listening to :)
PonyOne, have you seen Blue Velvet? Heineken fan in that, though the after effects of dringing beer gave him trouble... Damn seal.
I work at a pub that specialises in Belgian Beer. If you ever get a chance (Obviously not you Pony..), try Hoegaarden, Duvel, and Chimay. The Hoegaarden tastes very light, though it is a full strength beer, and the more oyu drink the more you like it. I havee at least one after work, and there's no beer I know of that's more refreshing. I loooove beeer. mmmmmm.

[Lordathestrings]

If you can find it, I think 'Trapiste' from the monks in Rochefort, is about the best. I found out about it when I was in The Netherlands some years ago. They served it in small brandy glasses, and its worthy of that treatment. Chimay is good too, with an aftertaste like good apple cider... ah, man now I'm getting thirsty.

BTW, Lord, I know you love yamaha's, you may have already seen this but I just saw it last night, and thought you may enjoy... http://www.yamaha.com/cgi-win/webcgi.exe/DsplyModel/?gEGU00004AESFG

[Lordathestrings]

I gotta wonder what happens when you use a capo? :confused:

[PonyOne]

I wondered that myself... ever since that Buzz Feitin tuning system, all these companies have been getting into wild fret & nut designs...

That aside, looks like a nice axe...
