Radio Friendly Unit Shifter - Nirvana

submitted by evil_disco_man

1 decade 5 years 5 months 1 week ago

According to Kurt Cobain, this song is a throwaway song - just a bunch of random poetry lines thrown together.

The title is a reference to the Nirvana song "Smells Like Teen Spirit," and its slick, radio-friendly sound. The original title for the song, "Four Month Media Blackout," is a reference to late 1991 and 1992, when "Teen Spirit" was on the charts.

Nirvana used this to open many of their 1993 and 1994 shows.

I sort of miss BillOReilly being around to downvote these.

Moving this video to evil_disco_man's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

First off, this is real grunge music, love it love it love it. Second, did anyone keep a running tally of either the cost of all the broken equipment over the years or a total for guitars that Kurt broke?

One of my favourite Nirvana songs.
