    I turned my drawing mannequin into the In Utero angel

    Hands and eyes look kinda stupid but overall pretty proud of it, used acrylic paint + pencil crayons for the veins, printed out the wings (photoshopped out from a pic of the album) and covered the whole thing in gloss varnish

    How much did Nirvana improvise live? Were they good at it? What was their philosophy around improvisation?

    Were they into improvisation? Did they consider it punk?

    Any cheap ehx polychorus/echoflanger alternatives?

    Looking for alternatives for this pedal. I really want the radio friendly unit shifter, filter matrix, and double track sound.

    I have a (perhaps controversial) opinion about Incesticide

    I know it's not a studio album but I still believe it to be the 3rd album (and therefore In Utero the 4th). I'm of course not taking any of the other stuff into consideration. Please tell me your thoughts?

    Picture Of Kurt's Hands Photographed By Michael Stipe In Athens, November 30, 1993.

    "The whole time we knew each other, I never took a picture of his face,” Stipe said of the late Nirvana frontman, who would visit him in Athens as a sort of mentor for what it could mean to be a rock star without succumbing to soullessness. "We were outside in a garden and he was doing this beautiful gesture, moving his hands closer to me. Then I took this picture, which is out of focus but it doesn’t matter ‐ you get what it is."

    On Cobain’s left hand are the ink-scrawled words “Syd list” (maybe a note to add the Golden Palominos singer Syd Straw to a concert guest list, though it’s not clear) and a ring that he and Stipe exchanged."

    Why wasn't Spank Thru added on Bleach?????????????

    I mean, it's quite the track! I see no reason not to add it, especially when putting into consideration the fact that it was the song that made Krist want to start a band with Kurt after listening to the fecal matter demo tape. Did they ever made any mention as to why they chose to keep it out of the debut?

    When they compiled the With The Lights Out box set, were there any songs that they wanted to or were going to make it on there that didn’t make the cut? (Besides You Know Your Right)

    Title basically speaks for itself, I'm curious is Krist or Dave had other song/or version of tracks that they considered putting in the box set but it didn't end up working out

    A joke from a five year old. My son came up with this joke all on his own.

    5 year old: knock knock Dad: Who’s there? 5yo: Nirvana… Dad: Nirvana who? 5yo: HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO!

    I think I might be doing ok with this one.

    Is the version of Pay To Play on DGC Rarities the same as the smart sessions version?

    Doing something where I'm ranking and talking about every Nirvana song even obscure ones. I'm unsure if the audio seen in the smart sessions is the same or not as the one seen here

    Three different albums, three different emotions to feel

    I've noticed a pattern with the way I listen to each album, they're tied to how I'm feeling in the moment.

    Bleach is my angry album. Whenever I'm pissed off at something (work, my folks, etc.) I tend to put Bleach on.

    Nevermind is my calm album. When I'm chill and just want to vibe to music, I usually pick Nevermind.

    In Utero is my sad album. When my depression starts getting to me and I feel like my life's going to shit, I put In Utero on. And sometimes it differs, I either just feel the comfort of being sad (yes that was intentional) or sometimes it actually lifts my spirits because it's also my favorite album and I just feel happy listening to it.

    And a bonus, I'd say Unplugged is also in the calm album space. I tend to play it early in the morning when my day is just beginning, like the start of my work shift. It eases me into being awake before I go into the louder stuff.
