many of us have to face up to the fact that we are very boring people with a very limited social ecological niche. some of the fuckers on this forum remind me of something small and scaly with sharp little teeth that occasionally darts out of its crevice to snap at something smaller than themselves.

oh yeah.

Courtney killed Kurt - discuss.



Dude, I like Nirvana and all....but what you just wrote was fucking out of context and retarded.

You're combining Nirvana and conspiracy theories of Reptilian rulers like tea and crumpets. Or whatever the fuck you pale skins eat up there in the U.K.


Just joking by the way.


I don't want to see anymore photos of Tom's beard.




Get ready for a double post.

It is.

I only saw them once, opening for Sonic Youth. Both bands were really lame that particular evening.

Except. For some reason. When Nirvana played In Bloom, which I'd never heard before. It was like a fucking jet plane taking off.

It was very odd. They were pretty pedestrian for twenty minutes, played In Bloom which was incredible, and then they kinda sucked for another ten minutes.


Was this at the Moore? I was at that show!

Yeah, man. It was.

I found Nirvana unremarkable except that one song, totally great.

Sonic Youth was a total, total snooze. Every time I have seen them, they're either incredible or a complete snooze. Never just good.

I remember enjoying both bands, but I was only around 15 or 16 at the time and thus hadn't attended a ton of shows. That was my only Sonic Youth show. I saw Nirvana a few times afterward, and they were definitely better on those other occasions, although I think fondly of that first time I saw them for the usual reasons. What's funny is that I also remember "In Bloom" sticking out. The chord progression sounded unlike anything I had heard before, and it remained in my memory for the year or two between that show and the eventual release of Nevermind.

Probably the best show of theirs I saw was their surprise spot opening for Mudhoney at WWU in Bellingham. That ruled.

I'm pretty sure Coach was at that show as well.

You guys and your seeing all the bands I like that I never got to see!

I was. Nirvana was fine, if very subdued (which I thought was cool -- histrionics only take you so far). Sonic Youth was really bad, though. I made it 30 minutes into their set and retreated to the Nitelite next door for drinks. Great on record, but piss-poor that night.

Wood Goblin wrote:Coach, seeing as Bellingham is listed as your location, were you at the Mudhoney/Nirvana show at Western?


I wasn't. My girlfriend lived up there and we thought about going, but I'd seen Mudhoney so many times that we went to a show in Seattle instead (at the Lake Union Pub, I think). If I'd had any idea Nirvana was playing that show we'd have stuck around.

I do have a cool half-tone photo of Kurt at that show that was in a discard pile at Western's journalism department.
