Nirvana, Pt.2

Definitely one of my favourite shows to do, I'll have to revisit Nirvana more often.  For part two, there's some Neil Young, some Foo Fighters, some fecal matter, and some Hole - the last two being rather similar.  I have a stab at Kurt's main influences, playing songs from the Replacements, Os Mutantes, Daniel Johnson and Husker Du - maybe unwise, but who's to say?  Click on the above title to download this part of the show.

Nirvana, Pt.1

To coincide with Nevermind's 20th birthday, I devoted a show to Nirvana.  Listening to songs I hadn't heard for years made me remember how much fun it was to be a Nirvana fan in the early '90s.  Your feet were to be tapped rather than dragged.  Mixed in with my favourite Nirvana songs is the first record Kurt ever bought, the first riff he ever learnt on the guitar, some Shocking Blue, some skewy jazz, some Jackson 5, and - for reasons which will be explained - 'Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater.  Click on the title or the photo to download the first part of the show.

Staying 'live

The last few shows have mainly been live so there's been a fair bit of skipping and adverts appearing out of nowhere.  Unfortunately I can't upload the live shows as they're not recorded, but I'll start putting the playlists on at some point.  Recent shows have been devoted to cars, sunshine and rain, and last night's show was two hours straight of some thirsty, furry, fiery Aussie music.  Also, I'll aim to upload the Nirvana special in the next few days.
