Return of the Flint Pod

Awhile back I decided to post a list of what songs I had been listening to. The readers and the other captains seemed to enjoy it, so I’ve decided to do it again and this time include some more insight on the tracks selected. I realize their are some of you out there who could positively not give a flying fuck about what music i’m listening to. If that’s the case, this should ease your pain.

asses Return of the Flint Pod

For everyone else, here is the list:

  1. Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – “Hopscotch Willie” Real Emotional Trash (2008)
    Malkmus oozes stoner guitar god out of his penis and this 7 minute song is no exception. One of the best modern songwriters giving us the story of a bum being “framed” for murder. Who else could pull off lines like, “The Dick  said to Willie/”You’re in the clink/so save the pity party for the county shrink/i’m sure he’ll find some profound parallels to mine”

November = Nirvana

nirvana November = Nirvana

So now it all makes sense to me why Courtney Love threw a fit over Kurt Cobain being an unlockable character in Guitar Hero 5 (especially when the game developers, Harmonix issued a statement saying they have legal documentation that she agreed to it). Nirvana is releasing 2 albums in November – what a great way to stirrup public interest.

The first release will be a CD/DVD, live at Reading in 1992, from their famous English Festival appearance. The next release is a remaster of their underrated 1989 debut album, Bleach (done by original producer, Jack Endino). This album will also include a live concert from 1990 which has also received a sonic upgrade. Both albums are available on November 3rd.

The genius of this is that the Reading show is being released by Cobain’s estate and the Bleach reissue by their first label, Sub Pop. Sub Pop, devoid of the money the Cobain estate has is clearly piggy backing off the Reading release. Kudos to them, because in the end the consumers are the winners. We are getting two new  releases by a band that has precious little material still left in the vaults.

Kurt Cobain Is Alive

…in the video game Guitar Hero 5. Apparently, he is an unannounced unlockable character. I guess I wasn’t too far off when I said Nirvana Rock Band was probably in the works. For now, you can watch Cobain belt out Bon Jovi and Megadeath songs.

Oh, and Courtney Love is pissed. Allegedly she did not give her consent for this. Gee, Harmonix you probably should have thought that particular copyright infringement through a little better. Do you really want to deal with someone as bat shit as she is?

A day late and many dollars short

15 years ago Kurt Cobain died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. This isn’t going to be one of those rants or senseless tributes paying tribute to a guy that many people never met or knew including this writer – it’s just a post to remind readers of some of the awesome music he created in his very short life.
