I'd skip past both Vs and Ten... I always gravitated around the trio of Vitalogy, No Code and Yeild as far as Pearl Jam is considered... when they started trying to find an identity beyond just angst and grew up a bit and started exploring more mature broader themes... but thats just me...

Well, I don't have any great affection for angst, but the tone, production, and musical energy of VS and parts of VITALOGY blow my mind consistently. To my mind PJ just got dull after that. I like music that wakes me up.

Does anyone know what the instrumental track is that plays over the menu on the Nirvana box set DVD? --- unreal --- guitar distortion, feedback and heavy groove, and it goes on for about 8 minutes... I like to go to sleep to it playing over and over

While we're at it, what do people think of The Thrown Ups?

Yeah In Utero is still my fav Nirvana album. Although i tend to listen to Bleach and Incesticide mostly these days. When i listen to Nevermind i tend to skip the singles for obvious reasons.

Was driving with my Lady Z the other week and the middle section of DRAIN YOU came on - the bit with the distortion and drumming and echoes and such... She didn't recognize it and asked me what it was and how did it come to be playing on mainstream radio, being such an anarchic bit of noise, comparable to a lot of the weird underground stuff I listen to at home... I explained what it was, and suddenly she understood what Kurt brought to the table, ie, he brought some really messy racket onto Top 40 radio and many living rooms by disguising it as seriously quality songs and stellar attitude. Granted they lack the songwriting chops and the cosmic 'tude, there are many people out there making brilliant din that most of us will never hear

Thanks!!

(I am trying pretty hard to miss it... glad to hear it's working out)



Gotta say, too - Jimi informs my life on a day-to-day basis, but with the occasional exception of a Burning Of The Midnight Lamp or a Little Wing, his songwriting doesn't touch Kurt's ... though his grooves are muy phat, and his channelling of the cosmic quantum knut is bordering on unparallelled
