Welcome to Litsy!

For so long I‘ve avoided reading NF books about Nirvana (or Kurt) because I knew they‘d make me sad. I did get sad throughout this book, but I learned some things about the band and the individual members that I didn‘t know already. I‘d recommend to any fan.

A pic of my dog Max because he‘s cute! And a pic of me with the Nirvana street mural in Los Angeles from my trip there this past summer.

Playlist 1/2
I decided to make to make two 90s playlists- what I was listening to in the 90s and what I listen to now from the 90s. This one has my favorites from middle school to high school (1994--2000). I'm not holding anything back (if you've never heard of a band called 'Creed', I'd skip that track 😳). Most of the rest isn't bad, though not at all diverse in terms of music or the bands themselves! 🤦🎸

“Not only was the music compelling and catchy, it captured the spirit of the age.”

This book is thorough; insightful and heartbreaking. I was too young to really appreciate or understand Nirvana in the early 90s. It didn‘t help that my older brother blared them constantly and I got SO tired of hearing them all the damned time. I never became a fan.

Now, my brother is burning me a CD with his favorite Nirvana songs. How very 90s of him! 🤘🏻

This book was published in 1993. I think you‘ve done okay, #DaveGrohl! 😉🎤🤘🏻🎸

The 90s in a box! I‘ve only found 1 Nirvana CD among all these - Unplugged - so that‘s better than nothing. I‘ve come to the realization that I was too young to appreciate Nirvana when they first became known (I was 11ish). I constantly heard them blasting from my older brother‘s room so I knew all the songs, but never gave them credit. After years & years of hearing them on radio, I became bored, but now I‘m ready to re-experience them properly.

Azerrad strikes the right blend between fan and journalist in his approach- neither too sterile or fawning. As readers I think we can sympathize with #lithium 's "...today I found my friends- they're in my head". Nirvana's songs have stayed in my head over two decades later largely because of the strange, yet accurate observations of human behavior embedded within Kurt's singular brand of misanthropic poetry. #rocktober @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen
