nirvana wasn't really from seattle, they were from olympia. i'm not sure if that's what dave was thinking, or if it's sort of like the mccartney thing in the sense that nobody could get it mixed up, but, if it's the latter, i think there's something fitting in it.


i didn't say anything about this performance, though

i think she's a good character actor. not just here, but in general. it's a little different than the others because she's clearly trying to play the part. it's maybe still a sacred cow. but she does it well.

and on this note, somebody that i think would have been interesting would have been ritzy o'brien, maybe something upbeat.

haha. I was thinking the same thing. completely agree. tho Nirvana was never about pushing vocal stylistics or image conscious.

Otherworldly Things
You are right. They aren't really from Seattle. They are from Aberdeen, Washington. That is where Kurt and Krist met as teenagers and formed various bands, before settling on the name, Nirvana.

the point is that they didn't come out of the seattle rock scene, they came out of the olympia riot grrrl scene. you wouldn't see them playing shows with soundgarden or pearl jam, you'd see them playing shows with bikini kill or l7.

Ecstatic Discharge
They played a couple gigs with Soundgarden but youre right they toured with both L7 and Bikini Kill
