Another hometown hero of sorts for us Seattleites. Actually, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic were from Aberdeen/Hoquiam, where I spent a bunch of time working on my book about hate crimes, Death on the Fourth of July. A more bleak upbringing I could not really imagine, except maybe in Forks. Anyway, this is another cover, this time of a great David Bowie song from the era when Bowie was a great songwriter.

Maybe rebroadcasting it?

You're right...my bad.
I really only know one U2 song - and they were performing it when I clicked over: 'And I still haven't found what I'm looking for.....

I hate Nirvana, always did. Horrible band.
In the pantheon of great rock bands Nirvana is easily in the top five.
I've always thought they were over rated.
That's the kind of conclusion anyone could come to if they'd only heard what the radio feeds them. Their full catalog easy eclipses their peers.
And really was the Seattle area signature band until Cobain's death allowed Pearl Jam supremacy.
But Chris Cornell and Soundgarden were not far behind. Here is My Wave

For a while, you could find Badmotorfinger with a bonus mini cd that included a cover of Stray Cat Blues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ziukjeME0Y
i digg this band always have always will. brings back memories during college.
...Bowie is still a very good songwriter. His last two records, Heathen and Reality, are both quite good, with mostly original material and some choice covers. Of course, it might have something to do with producer Tony Visconti working with Bowie again.
the thin white duke only gets better with age.
but I've never quite gotten over his facist period. Yeah, I know he was never seriously a facist but the idea of someone being that ignorant or simply not caring about history to use facist uniforms because they make a cool fashion statement rubs me the wrong way.
On November 25th of 1968, Cream took the stage at Royal Albert Hall and put on the first of two nights' shows. They were the last shows they did until 2005.

Heard this great looping acoustic version of Sweet Child O' Mine by Trace Bundy today. Just a great version of this song to listen to while driving around on a wet, overcast day.
I much prefer

Nirvana's version is one of my all time faves.
Aside from several good albums, one of the best things about Cobain was his generosity with his spotlight. For a short time, the "little guy" got a chance to be heard after decades of mike hogging by corporate darling acts.
A lot of good music/art got introduced to a wider audience during that period, but unfortunately stuff like Beat Happening or Steven Jesse Bernstein didn't catch on the way Pearl Jam did. Regardless of the end result, I'm grateful that it happened at all anyways.
I don't understand the supposed "greatness" of this band. I never saw ANY of the innovation or newness that this band was supposed to have brought to rock and roll. Tons of bands had done this same music style WAY-Y-Y before, and the scruffy look had been patented by bands of the late 60's and perfected and practiced by everyone from the Allman Bros. to Willie Nelson. Thank GOD for the Britpop movement and Oasis and Blur and Pulp who drove the final nails in Kurt's boring, depressing, dirty little coffin with a fantastic sense of melody, musicianship and style. I must admit though, I would prefer Kurt's droning and screeching to the prefab voice modulated poptart and hip hop garbage we have masquerading as music today. At least Nirvana rocked. And inspired others who rocked BETTER to kick their ass off the charts.
Get over your Nirvana hate. Fuck the Britpop movement

I don't think I wanna get over my "Nirvana-Hate." And now I hate you too.

Who was well before the time of Nirvana...
I did not understand until too long after Kirk took his own life how much he was in the mold of a Hendrix or Joplin. The music that came from him was, in hindsight, so painful but so real. I cannot begin to fathom where Kirk would be today.
As a die hard Bowie fan, I think they did the best version of this song ever.
