@kristiana per qualche minuto ho pensato veramente di essermi perso un loro pezzo acustico per 30 anni! 😅
Ok, non male ma non credo che l’avrebbe cantata così.
@kaffeeringe
Ich muß zugeben, die kenne ich nicht. Finde ich aber schon nach den ersten Takten großartig. Ziemlich "mein Stück kuchen". Läuft gerade auf meiner Busfahrt. Thanks!
@sustainrelease Ja. Ich glaube, die habe ich bei arte Tracks entdeckt. Dazu noch "The Chats". Auch Aussie.
Oder "Die Spitz", "Speed of Light" oder "War on Women". Auch wütende Frauen.
We’re still on a break from posting spotlights on albums from our 1001 Other Albums list, but I’m stressed and sad, and therefore I need a little list-making therapy. And so, in honor of the late great Steve Albini who suddenly left us this week, here is a (possibly incomplete) list of the albums from The List that he had a part in, in one way or another:
I think those make a nice little tribute playlist to keep us going for a bit. And, if you want to look up more, here is a (likely very incomplete) list of other bands/artists on The List that Albini worked with, on albums of theirs not on The List: Ben Frost, Cheap Trick, Don Caballero, Esben and the Witch, Fugazi, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Gogol Bordello, Jim O’Rourke, Jimmy Page, Joanna Newsom, Low, Manic Street Preachers, Mogwai, Nine Inch Nails, Pussy Galore, Richard Youngs, Robert Plant, Songs: Ohia, The Ex, The Stooges, and Yonatan Gat.
Feel free to share your favorite Albini-ed album below (and, if it’s not already in The List, let me know if you want me to add it).
@Lucatermite@stranobiovolta sempre avuto l’impressione che i Bush fossero i cosplayer dei Nirvana e dei gruppi che andavano del periodo però in salsa british e col cantante carino…
eri così carino…. e ben vestito.
Gusti personali, ho sempre avuto l’impressione che le band british del periodo fossero tutte gonfiate a dismisura dalla stampa…
RIP Steve Albini. So many of my favourite albums were recorded by him, and so in a way he shaped so much of what I've loved. At 61, he has left us far too soon, but his mark on our culture is indelible and undeniable, and in that sense he will live on forever.
#Albini laid it out in a December 1993 essay “The Problem With Music” — a piece in which he shirked the title of “#producer” & mocked music producers — writing that bands are held “hostage” by labels.
He began the article with an image: “I imagine a trench, about four feet wide & five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying [excrement]. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine a faceless industry lackey at the other end, holding a fountain pen & a contract waiting to be signed.”
#KurtCobain died 30yrs ago today. It seems more recent than that.
By the 10yr mark, I was nearly halfway through a year in Iraq. Heavier Than Heaven, bio on Kurt, and the With The Lights Out box set were part of my deployment inventory.
Mentioned in the bio, one of the happiest times of his short and volatile life was in Hawaii. Even one of the greatest singer/guitarists of our lives can agree: Hawaii truly is heaven on Earth.
Here's a lesser known #Nirvana song to mark this day... 🤙
Courtney Love published his journals that he kept in spiral bound notebooks. the book may be out of print but the copy i read showed how he was unschooling himself in feminism, antiracism, anticolonialism but most interesting, capital S and A socialism and anarchism.
"The capitalists are finally allowing supposedly subversive, alternative thinking bands to have a loan of money to expose their crusade. Obviously they aren't forking out loans for this reason, but more because it looks to be a money making commodity. But we can use them!! We can pose as the enemy to infiltrate the mechanics of the system to start its rot from the inside. Sabotage the empire by pretending to play their game."
30 anni sono passati da quel terribile giorno, oggi mi piace ricordarli così con il documentario della BBC che ripercorre il primo scalcagnato e divertente tour dei #Nirvana in UK quando ancora non erano nessuno:
@GianniLivore noi avevamo come punto di riferimento il noleggio cd che fu un’attività borderline per anni e ti consentiva di prendere un cd a noleggio e ovviamente duplicarlo a casa a costi irrisori, ho ancora scatole piene di cassette scritte a mano direttamente dagli anni 90 😅@filippodb
@GianniLivore@filippodb visto! Molto carino mixed by herry, non lo conoscevo ma si vede che è una storia molto romanzata. Al tempo avevo i soldi appena per le cassette vergini, quindi ci piratavamo le cassette fra di noi 😄
Due date che, forse, alcuni di voi ricordano bene: 26 novembre 1989 e 17 novembre 1991. Sono le serate in cui una band rock, ancora poco conosciuta, si esibiva live per la prima volta in Italia scegliendo la #Brianza come tappa.
Es ist wie es ist. #KurtCobain hat mit seiner Band #Nirvana mich in eine neue Musik-Welt gestoßen.
Und er war eben auch die Identifikationsfigur der Kids, die eben nicht so in die damaligen Rollen passten. Und das ist er noch heute für die, die erst weit nach seinem Tod erst geboren wurden. Das Vermächtnis geht über die Musik hinaus.
If Kurt would be alive today, I bet he'd write happy pop songs every few years but mainly doing pencil art or some such. Gosh, I would love to see a happy 57yrs old #KurtCobain
Todestag Kurt Cobains: "Er wird noch Jahrzehnte bleiben"
Heute vor 30 Jahren nahm sich Nirvana-Sänger Kurt Cobain das Leben. Seine Musik lebt nach wie vor weiter. Nicht nur bei über 40-Jährigen, auch bei Jüngeren. Warum ist das so? Von Nils Dampz.
📚 Le 20 février, qui marquera le 57e anniversaire de la naissance de Kurt Cobain, Charles Peterson sortira son dernier livre, "Charles Peterson's Nirvana" #Nirvana
Le noir et blanc, et la qualité de ces photos 😍
@SrRochardBunson One of my favorite podcasts is called “Heart Shaped Pod.” It’s about the history of Nirvana. It was put out by the Unpops Network before they changed their name to YDELTS (You Don’t Even Like This Show.)
