I feel sheepish admitting these two facts, but here goes...
- I still listen to plain, old frequency modulation (FM) radio.
- I love Nirvana.
You'd think those two guilty pleasures would blend like PB&J since Kurt Cobain committed suicide and radio disc jockeys (DJs) are notorious suckers for playing music made by now-dead musicians. Here's the problem - while Nirvana only ever made 3 studio albums and those 3 albums are packed with great songs, the DJs only ever play the 3 worst Nirvana songs...
- Come As You Are
- Heart-Shaped Box
- Lithium
They aren't horrible songs relative to today's music scene (which pretty much sucks), but compared to Scentless Apprentice, All Apologies, Breed, Polly, School, About a Girl, et al., they're shit. I don't get it, there are almost 40 songs from studio albums, countless live/unplugged versions available, even the Incesticide EP - literally hours of music to choose from - and it's still the same 3 damn songs. It's depressing. As depressing as the fact that Cobain was probably murdered by his crazy wife, Courtney Love? Eh, maybe not, but still... throw me a freaking bone now and then.
