This album is one of the top albums that have helped to define my musical tastes. Like every other red-blooded American 8th grader, I flipped out that first time I saw “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on MTV, which lead to near obsession, writing to Sub Pop Records and hunting down B Sides at Sound Exchange (R.I.P.) and hating Pearl Jam because I thought you could pick only one. In Utero was by far the most repeated album of theirs in my life, and this morning my stomach got butterflies when I saw the track listing released for the 20th anniversary reissue being released on September 24th. The Pier 48 show is on here! I’ll let it speak for itself:

Virginia Tech Student asks Nirvana to be in video, “We’d love to have her”, hilarity ensues

Posted on by

Sub Pop Records received a letter from a Virginia Tech college student asking for Nirvana to be in the homecoming video. Now, at first I thought she wanted Dave and Krist to reunite together, but nope, this is yet another case of lack of common pop culture knowledge and research. Her letter goes on to say “As Virginia Tech loves Nirvana, we’d love to have her in our video”. Her? Give this girl an A! Seriously though, how did she know their record label but not that it’s three men instead of a girl, she knows how to google. Anyway, Nirvana sent her a video back! Watch it here, I love Sub Pop (and Mark Arm from Mudhoney with the guitar there is a decent score!): Nirvana loves Virginia Tech!!

Ten Songs I Like Right Now

First off, did you know one of the drummers for March Fourth Marching Band hand makes leather hats that are amazing? Bring an extra $90 to their next show if you are a hat lover, I wish I had!

Now that summer is here my musical tastes get a little more light and dancey, it’s just too hot for sludge. Here is a list of the songs I like this week (all song titles in blue are links to the music):

1. Stare at the Sun – Eleanor Friedberger. Last week I posted the stream of her new album. I adore her voice and this song makes me want to hit the park.

2. Dumb Disco Ideas – Holy Ghost!. Light pretty dance electronic.

3. Demon Dance – Surfer Blood. Great sounding chill band with the occasional Weezer-like melody.

4. Warm Spell – Sinkane. Session Musician who has worked with Yeasayer and others, Sudanese influences, breezy good stuff. Loving the drums.

5. Faces – Jonathan Rado. Guitarist of Foxygen already has a solo album, and with help from White Denim’s guitarist, it sounds fantastic. A little Albert Hammond, Jr. action.

6. Orchards – Wampire. Love this Portland psych band, and I adore the monster in the video. These guys are touring right now, don’t miss them.

7. Oblivion – Waxahatchee. Fantastic cover of the Grimes song, with more garage sound. Love this so much.

8. She’s On Fire – King Tuff. Ever since Garage Swim came out, I’ve been listening to this song on repeat. Wish it had an extended version, I love the video game sounds at the end.

9. Dog That Bit You – The Baptist Generals. Sub Pop band releases new album after ten years, I really dig their sound, reminds me of a modern Tom Petty with a weird voice.

10. Captain Brain – Bill Baird. Not quite a new song, but one of my all time faves. When I listen to it in the car I tend to drive too fast.
