I was well into Sub Pop and all the artists in the genre at the time, bought every piece of vinyl they ever put out.

I was fortunate enough to get to see Nirvana play live, and still have the tshirt to this day, hung in a garment bag in a storage facility in Los Angeles.

I really wasn't a fan of Nirvana when they came out. I was heavily into metal (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, etc) and Nirvana just sounded like a boring watered down version to me.

It wasn't until much later that I realised I was looking at it from the wrong direction. Nirvana were a pop band who used heavy guitars, and that was kinda cool.

I don't believe we will ever see another band with their influence again. Mainstream music today is much more fragmented, so even if someone came along and radically altered hip-hop, for example, the influence would be felt far less in other genres.

When Nirvana came out I was just beginning to transition out of a very sheltered church every Sunday country music loving family. I remember seeing the Nevermind album in a bin outside a music store in the mall and laughing at the absurdity of it. At the time I was rebelling at the weird sounds and antics of country music but I was also rebelling against Grunge music from the thought of it being to popular and trendy among the social outcasts of my own peers that I did not yet identify with. I had started to listen to our local oldies station and was really into the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album when I heard that Kurt had died. Immediately after his passing Mtv would play unplugged quite regularly and thats when I found my appreciation for Nirvana. I became one of there biggest fans which led into other bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Shamshing Pumpkins, Cranberries, Weezer and then later into bands like Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Pixies, and the Flaming LIps. All my musical taste has been shaped and guided by this one band.

Nirvana!

What? Render time? I'd guess minutes at most. C'mon, this is 2013, not 1993.

But you're right: Oculus Rift + This = Star Trek Holodeck in real life. Sports is possibly the best application for this combination, since the area of play is limited and well defined. Let me build upon your vision of the future.

It would require the ability to change your camera angle even when the "video" is playing. They'd also need to thoroughly map all audio sources on the playing feild. Heck, I'm sure there are tons of other massive technical hurdles that I haven't even thought of, but if you will, imagine this:

Go to an empty baseball field (or other large, flat area) during a time when you can be assured you'll be totally alone. You'd need to set up some kind of markers, four in total, non-coplaner. They would track your movement on the field in 3 dimensions. You might also set up a large circle fence around the outter edge of the field with sticks and string, to make sure you don't run into a tree or a building, since you'll be totally blind once you don your Oculus Rift. Then, put on the Rift, and play the video with your vantage point on the field as the camera angle. You'd be holding in your hand a remote control which can pause, rewind, or fast forward.

You could literally be IN THE GAME, AS IT PLAYS, with the ability to run along side your favorite football player as he runs into the end zone, seeing everything he sees, hearing everything he hears. Or stand in the endzone, and watch your favorite plays from every imaginable angle as though you were really there. Rewind the "video" and watch again from the vantage point of the quarterback, or the referee, or the coach.

There is no higher form of sports immersion. It is Nirvana.

MY EARS! I'm going to hell because of you, she devil! GAH! I practiced celibacy and was home schooled to avoid any auditory temptations but now I'm ruined. Raped. Ear RAPED. Fucked in the ears.

And now I have no choice but to become the beast I always feared. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK ME JESUS

Souls! Feed me souls! BLlaefoiugrbsrgbsgrubs -- and now I transform into my final form to destroy the sanctity of life and shatter the world. Laying siege to all holy lands! Nothing is sacred, all life is to be extinguished, and suffering will be endless. ENDLESS!!!!!

Millions, billions, trillions, untold time passes; dimensions crossed, the very meaning of ALL unraveled and laid forth, meaningless. Meaningless! All conflict, all freedoms, all philosophy is now folly; unnecessary as a multiuniversal nihilism cascades across the boundaries of consciousness. The godheads destroyed, their corpses rotting the core beyond ALL.

Blackness.

Void.

Nirvana crumbles and the enlightened turned against the balance. Yahweh screams in horror, corrupted and turned into a tentacle demon to rape its devoted followers. Ra's phallus goes limp. Baal is ground into an all beef hamburger patty. Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, Surya and Ganesha warp into a single form, becoming the Eye of Saron. The reptilians of earth devolve into alligators, and the greys become monkeys.

There is no shelter because there is only horror. For all eternity, in all realities.

Sorry, that's just my interpretation of the reporter's reaction.

2013, and Sean Penn sucks ball-sacks even more than before, may he drown drunken in some swimming-pool and achieve Nirvana...

I envy his experience. That's a roller coaster straight to nirvana. Do not pass enlightenment. Roll to get out? NEVER

They must be starving, or just sugar junkies. I used to eat these when I was a kid. I would work around all the marshmallows so that they were all that was left floating in the bowl. And then... marshmallow nirvana.

Love covers, love Nirvana, love Smells Like Teen Spirit... Loved this! Thanks for the sift!

@Shepppard

I agree completely with that sentiment, and that is his main message but my contention is with Trent saying there hasn't been much of it. I completely disagree.

Nirvana, Foo Fighters, NiN were prominent in "the soundtrack of my youth", and QotSA a little later. I still listen to all of them from time to time and have a lot of respect for their music.

To say there hasn't been "much" great music that makes use of the new technologies that have come about just doesn't fly with me. I've listened to loads of great music over the past decade; much of which is decidedly electronica, let alone just incorporating digital effects.

If he wasn't cynical then he should have said "you still need musical talent to back this up; and that's why there's so much great shit coming out".
