Smells Like Teen Spirit Appears in Rock & Pop 2018
ACCESS ALL AREAS... SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 1991 Album: Nevermind Label: DGC Records ABOUT THE SONG Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain was attempting to write the ‘ultimate pop song’ when he came up with the guitar riff that would become ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. He WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, wanted to write a song in the style of The Pixies, telling Rolling Stone in 1994: ‘I was basically trying to rip off The Pixies. I have to admit it.’ The title came IT’S LESS DANGEROUS after Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of Bikini Kill, spray- painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his bedroom “ wall. Teen Spirit was actually a brand of deodorant. HERE WE ARE NOW, The first single from Nirvana’s second album Nevermind, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ was a surprise hit. The label had anticipated that ‘Come As You Are’, the follow-up single, would be the song to cross over to a mainstream audience. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ ENTERTAIN US was first played on college radio before rock stations and MTV picked it up. It is widely praised as one of I FEEL STUPID AND CONTAGIOUS the greatest songs in the history of rock music. RECORDING AND PRODUCTION Cobain began writing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ a few weeks before Nirvana were due in the studio to record Nevermind. After presenting the main riff and melody of the chorus to the rest of the band, they jammed around the riff for an hour and a half. Bassist Krist Novoselic slowed the verse down and drummer Dave Grohl created a drum beat and as a result, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ is the only song on Nevermind to give songwriting credits to all three band members.

The 586, an Inkblot Train by Devon Dozlaw for Most of Us in Utero
The 586, an Inkblot Train by Devon Dozlaw For most of us In utero refers to a specific stage early in our development, A stage of waiting But for Kurt this term refers to a late stage in development See Kurt was comfortable on the stage, but only with the lights out Here we are now, entertain us, but turn the damn lights out I don't want to be in the limelight Most of us spend our lives waiting for the train, writing shitty blues songs about waiting for trains The difference is, we aren't all waiting for the same train For some the train is an elusive yet comfortable bed, “I can't go out tonight, I need to get to bed” Well I can understand wanting to dream but you don't need a bed for that, nor do you need sleep My train is the one with the 586 word poem that stretches out across the cars in ornate yet vicious graffiti My train is the one that people are happy to have to stop for in the city because it takes them out of their mundane grind and it's a beautiful moving canvas As the train cars go by it's like flipping through the amateur motion picture exercise that I sketched into a friend's agenda while in high school; in utero, to the lay person This poem, like all poems, is an ink blot piece For those of you tuning in at home, you can create your own ink blot by eating the most self-indulgent meal possible, then wiping your mouth with a napkin, then unfolding the napkin and interpreting it My inkblot smear perpetually changed like the doodles or the message conveyed by the train art Any time I thought I could see something in the stain

Audible Studios on Brilliance, 2017. CD-Audio. Condition: New. Unabridged. Language: English . Brand New. The record was replete with references to babies, childbirth, and reproduction (the album s very title means in the womb ), witch hunts, the loss of privacy, illness and disease, and ambivalence about fame. The songs expressed a heartfelt anguish that would later cause some to interpret the entire album as a cry for help, but even at the time of its release In Utero could easily be read as an album focused on physical and spiritual sickness. Rather than being overwhelmed by circumstances, however, Cobain s songs on In Utero show him - for the most part - still able and willing to fight back. As such, among Nirvana s recorded eorts, it stands as Cobain s most personal work.Instead of sticking to the grunge pop formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, with In Utero Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that truly matched Kurt Cobain s vision of what he had always wanted the band to sound like.
