It was released as the first single from Nirvana's third and final studio album, In Utero, in August 1993, and appears as the third track. It was one of two songs from the album mixed by Scott Litt to enhance producer Steve Albini's original production. Although Nirvana DGC Records did not release a physical single in the United States, fearing it might hurt the album's sales, Heart-Shaped Box received many American radio broadcasts, reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Single in the top 10 in several countries, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland and New York, and the top 40 in many other countries. The music video, directed by Anton Corbein, received critical applause and received two awards, including Best Alternative Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1994. Heart-Shaped Box is Cobain's last live song with Nirvana, March 1, 1994, in Munich, Germany. The origin and record Kurt Cobain wrote Heart-Shaped Box in early 1992. Cobain forgot about the song for a while, but started working on it again when he and his wife, Courtney Love, moved into a house in the Hollywood Hills. In an interview with Rolling Stone in 1994, Love said she overheard him working on the song's riff in the closet. She said she asked him if she could use a riff for one of her songs, to which he replied: Fuck you! and closed the closet door. The couple shared a magazine in which they wrote lyrics; Cobain's biographer Charles R. Cross noted that Love's sensitivity to songwriting informed Cobain of the song. The song's name comes from a heart-shaped box that Love gave to Cobain. However, Cobain originally called the song Heart-Shaped Coffin. Nirvana found it difficult to complete the song. Cobain tried to overshadow the song during the jam sessions. He said, I tried to wait for bassist Krista and drummer Dave Grohl to come up with something, but it just turned into a noise all the time. Cobain made one last attempt to complete the song; he was able to come up with a vocal melody, and the band finally finished writing the song. Cobain said that when they completed the Heart Of Shape Box, we finally realized that it was a good song. In January 1993, the band recorded a demo of Heart-Shaped Box during a session with Craig Montgomery at BMG Ariola Studios in Rio de Janeiro. The In Utero version was recorded in February 1993 by Steve Albini in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. Prior to the album's release, the track was remixed by Scott Litt. Cobain was unapologetic about the band's decision to remix it, and claimed that the vocals and bass were not noticeable enough in the original mixes. Novoselic was also dissatisfied with the original Heart-Shaped Box mix. In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times in 1993, he said the original effect used on the song's guitar sounded like a fucking abortion hitting the floor. When the song was remixed by Litt, Cobain took the opportunity to add acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies. The song Heart-Shaped Box Heart-Shaped Box, released as the first single from In Utero, was supplemented during mixing with Scott Litt. Dissatisfied with the song's sound, Nirvana had Litt increase the volume of Cobain's vocals and bass guitar, and the band added acoustic guitar and backing vocals. Problems with playing this file? See the media report. Heart-Shaped Box is an alternative rock song that lasts four minutes and thirty-nine seconds. According to a note published in the Musicnotes.com BMG Rights Management, it is written at 4/4 signature time, with a moderate rate of 100 beats per minute. Heart-Shaped Box consists of the G minor key, modulating up to Gz Dorian on verse, while Kurt Cobain's vocal range spans one octave, from the low G-3 note to the high note of the G-4. The song has a basic G-5- E5-C-5-G-E5-C-7 sequence in verse and G'5-E5-C-7 during the chorus as chords. As a Nirvana formula, journalist Gillian Gaar described Heart-Shaped Box as a Nirvana formula, an awesome, low-key, downward riff played through a verse that builds the choir's cascading passion in intensity. Cobain said the song was inspired by documentaries about children with cancer. He told biographer Michael Azerrad, Whenever I think about it, I'm sad than anything I can think about. In his biography Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, Azerrad claimed that despite Cobain's explanation, the song was actually about Courtney Love. Charles Cross wrote in his biography of Kurt Cobain Heavier Than Heaven that with the lyrics I would like to eat your cancer You blackened, the frontman sang in what must have been the most confusing route any songwriter has taken in the history of pop music to say: I love you. After singing the song to singer Lana Del Rey in 2012, Courtney Love announced on Twitter that the song was about her vagina. The tweets were deleted shortly thereafter. Cobain said the chorus of Hey/Wait/I've got a new complaint is his example of how he was perceived by the media. In early September 1993, DGC released Heart-Shaped Box for college, contemporary rock and rock-oriented rock radio stations. There were no plans to release a single for the song domestically. At the time, head of marketing for Geffen Records told Billboard that the label was not actively courting Top 40 radio, explaining: Nirvana did not sell nearly 5 million records due to the hit single. They've sold so many albums because of who they are. The song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and eventually peaked at number one on the chart. The song also reached number four on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The single was released in the UNITED Kingdom, where it peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart. Released in August 1993, the 7-inch vinyl and cassette formats featured Marigold as a B-side, while 12-inch vinyl and CD versions added in Utero's Milk It. In 1999, the song was voted number 10 in Kerrang! magazine 100 greatest rock tracks ever!. Nirvana originally wanted Kevin Kerslake, who directed the music videos for the band's singles Come as You Are, Lithium, In Bloom and Sliver, to make the music video for Heart-Shaped Box. In July and August 1993, Kerslake prepared five procedures, but no filming arrangements were made, and by the end of the month the group had decided to work with Dutch photographer and video director Anton Corbin. Corbane, who used to create his own ideas for the video, was initially unsure about directing the video because Cobain's treatment was so detailed. Corbyn said: But then I looked at it and I thought it was actually pretty good. I was very impressed that someone wrote the song and had these ideas as accurately as he did. The video begins and ends with a group in the hospital watching the old man administer medication via a drip. Most of the video takes place in a surreal outdoor setting that includes images from the film The Wizard of Oz. The second verse represents a young girl in a white robe and a peak hat reaching the human fruit on a tree, and an overweight woman in a suit with human organs painted on it and with angel wings back (similar to the woman on the cover of In Utero). In the final section of the video, the group is shown only performing in an outdoor setting during the choirs, where Cobain's face moves in and out of focus in the chamber. While much of the video was developed by Cobain, Corbyn added elements such as intentionally artificial crows, a ladder for an old man to climb a cross with, and a box with a heart at the top that the band performs inside during the last chorus of the song. Corbyn created another cut of the video with alternate footage during the final verse, including more shots of a young girl and a woman, and scenes of Cobain lying on his back in a poppy field, with the fog surrounding him. This version of the video is featured on DVD by Director Anton Corbyn' Work. After the video was released, Kevin Kerslake sued Nirvana, accusing her of copyright infringement. The case was settled in an out-of-court manner. The music video Heart-Shaped Box was the most popular music video on MTV in the United States, recorded by Billboard magazine on November 20, 1993.

  • A Denial the Death of Kurt Cobain the Seattle Police Department
    A Denial The Death of Kurt Cobain The Seattle Police Department Substandard Investigation & The Repercussions to Justice by Bree Donovan A Capstone Submitted to The Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University, New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies Under the direction of Dr. Joseph C. Schiavo and approved by _________________________________ Capstone Director _________________________________ Program Director Camden, New Jersey, December 2014 i Abstract Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) musician, artist songwriter, and founder of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, Nirvana, was dubbed, “the voice of a generation”; a moniker he wore like his faded cardigan sweater, but with more than some distain. Cobain‟s journey to the top of the Billboard charts was much more Dickensian than many of the generations of fans may realize. During his all too short life, Cobain struggled with physical illness, poverty, undiagnosed depression, a broken family, and the crippling isolation and loneliness brought on by drug addiction. Cobain may have shunned the idea of fame and fortune but like many struggling young musicians (who would become his peers) coming up in the blue collar, working class suburbs of Aberdeen and Tacoma Washington State, being on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine wasn‟t a nightmare image. Cobain, with his unkempt blond hair, polarizing blue eyes, and fragile appearance is a modern-punk-rock Jesus; a model example of the modern-day hero. The musician- a reluctant hero at best, but one who took a dark, frightening journey into another realm, to emerge stronger, clearer headed and changing the trajectory of his life.

  • 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.

  • Rape Me. Rape Me, Again

Complete Burning Away is the epilogue to lyrics from the eponymous song from Natascha Stellmach’s earlier project entitled nirvana’s album in utero. Set me free presented at WAGNER + PARTNER, Berlin. In this exhibition the artist claimed to have been given the ashes of the late Cobain and made a public offering to smoke and thereby “set free” the musician’s spirit from the shackles of pain, conspiracy and the media circus he was subjected to during his life. The ensuing public and media response to Stellmach’s work was carnivalesque, complete with death threats and an intense, cult- like following. Stellmach’s oft-cited quote Natascha Stellmach’s project dealing with as to how she came about the ashes was both the myth and the remains of the late disclosed in her gallery press release: “That’s Kurt Cobain broaches a subject that is at confidential and kind of magic”.

  • Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain
    f Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain (from top) N irvana By David Fricke The Seattle band led and defined the early-nineties alternative-rock uprising, unleashing a generation s pent-up energy and changing the sound and future of rock. THIS IS WHAT NIRVANA SINGER-GUITARIST KURT Cobain thought of institutional honors in rock & roll: When his band was photographed for the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time, in early 1992, he arrived wearing a white T-shirt on which he’d written, c o r p o r a t e m a g a z i n e s s t i l l s u c k in black marker. The slogan was his twist on one coined by the punk-rock label SST: “Corporate Rock Still Sucks.” The hastily arranged photo session, held by the side of a road during a manic tour of Australia, was later recalled by photogra­ pher Mark Seliger: “I said to Kurt, T think that’s a great shirt... but let’s shoot a couple with and without it.’ Kurt said, ‘No, I’m not going to take my shirt off.’” Rolling Stone ran his Fuck You un-retouched. ^ Cobain was also mocking his own success. At that moment, Nirvana - Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl - was rock’s biggest new rock band, propelled out of a long-simmering postpunk scene in Seattle by its incendiary second album, N everm ind, and an improbable Top Ten single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Right after New Year’s Day 1992, Nevermind - Nirvana’s first major-label release and a perfect monster of feral-punk challenge and classic-rock magne­ tism, issued to underground ecstacy just months before - had shoved Michael Jackson’s D angerous out of the Number One spot in B illboard.

    1 When Are Apologies Effective? An Investigation of the Components that Increase an Apology’s Efficacy A dissertation presented by Krista M. Hill To The Department of Psychology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Psychology Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts May 10, 2013 2 WHEN ARE APOLOGIES EFFECTIVE? AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPONENTS THAT INCREASE AN APOLOGY’S EFFICACY by Krista M. Hill ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology In the College of Science of Northeastern University May 10, 2013 3 ABSTRACT Although apologies are a staple of civil society, it is unclear whether they are effective and if effective, what components are involved in the perfect apology. The term “components” refers to general categories of actions (both verbal and nonverbal) that may be present in an apology. Two studies were conducted to examine (1) whether apologies are effective in eliciting positive outcomes for an apologizer and (2) potential apology components that may obtain positive outcomes for an apologizer. For Study 1, six meta-analyses of previously published studies, examined the relation between apologies and offended parties’ (1) forgiveness, (2) attributions of positive qualities to the apologizer, (3) positive emotions toward the apologizer, (4) positive legal outcomes for the apologizer, (5) intentions to purchase goods from the apologizer, and (6) overall positive reactions and behaviors toward the apologizer (i.e., combining across all outcomes). High- inference coding was used to determine which theory-driven components contribute most to the effectiveness of apologies.
