Happy Belated Birthday Kurt!

Happy (should be) 49th Birthday to Kurt Cobain!! (February 20th, 1967)
"She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak." -KDC

I wish I was like you
Easily amused.
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame,
Aqua sea foam shame...
All in all is all we are
-Kurt Cobain

This Day in Music History: NOVEMBER 28TH

1991 Nirvana recorded a performance for BBC TV music show Top Of The Pops in London. When asked to lip-sync 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' to a pre-recorded tape Kurt Cobain protested by singing an octave lower (he later confirmed he was imitating Morrissey from The Smiths), and attempted to eat his microphone at one point. He also changed some of the lyrics, exchanging the opening line "load up on guns, bring your friends," for "load up on drugs, kill your friends."

Song of the Day: Where Did You Sleep Last Night- Nirvanat (1993)

This Led Belly cover song was popularized by Nirvana during their MTV Unplugged Special, This version is powerful, live and performed the Valentine's Day before Kurt's death. Apparently, Nirvana was in France for this concert while Courtney Love was recording her album in England. She was supposed to fly out and the two spend Valentine's Day with Kurt, but she blew him off because she was too busy working on her album. Later in the day Kurt was told through the grapevine she didn't show up because she was with another man. He then went out and delivered this incredible performance.
Rumor has it the other man was Billy Corigan of the Smashing Pumpkins...what a downgrade!

“I've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.” Kurt Cobain
