neomarxisme: Nirvana

May 20, 2005

Nirvana

When I was a freshman, I was pretty into Puddle of Mudd, and then earlier this year my friend Kaitlyn's college boyfriend (is it really cool for a guy in college to be dating high school girls?!) was like, "if you like PofM, man, you gotta check out Nirvana." Nirvana was one of those bands that older kids liked I never quite understood, seeing that they sound like every single band ever. But I went onto Soulseek and DL'd like all their stuff (accidentally DL'ed "Nirvana UK" some 60s band! LOL!) and you know what, and you may disagree, but Nirvana is SO much better than Puddle of Mudd.

I'll tell you why: Kurt Kobain tells it LIKE IT IS. That guy is afraid to take on nothing.

For example, he talks about all the stuff you're not SUPPOSED TO talk about like:

Insanity - "Tourette's", "Very Ape","Lithium","Dumb"

Sex - "In Utero","Come as You Are","In Bloom","Pennyroyal Tea" (you guys knwo what this is, right?), "Rape Me","Polly"

Hate - "Territorial Pissings","Stay Away","Frances Farmer will Get Her Revenge","Radio Friendly Unit Shifter"

Power - "Serve the Servants"

And check out this lyrics from the gorgeous "All Apologies":

What else should I say Everyone is gay What else could I write I don't have the right

He NAILS it. That song like describes what it's like to go to high school.

Call me crazy, but I sense that Lance's literary style has a lot in common with that of, say, Marek Van Der Jagt.

Man, you`re hilarious without knowing it, I mean you should totally replace Marxy! I have no idea what Puddle of Mudd is, but I guess the name says it all!

I second martymartini's comment. This blog should become from now on 'Neolanceism'.

Nirvana's best song is 'Verse Chorus Verse'.

The revolution has begun: down with Marxy!

Yo. I'm glad you like my entry, but i can't really replace Marxy fulltime (unless he wants me too...)
