Never mind, it hasn't been that long...

A day like today, 20 years ago an unknown punk rock band from Seattle released their second album. They were more than happy with the result, but really not expecting much. It can be said that Howie Weinberg mastered a master piece, and 2 decades later all 12 songs (+ hidden track) have the same strength and dynamism. One of those albums that will overcome time. The three long haired guys worked hard, and the result could not have been better. I’m sure one day you would feel the same way I did when I first listened to it. The day you will discover Nevermind, let me know!!

My favorite track… I dun’no, depends of the day, the mood… The single “Smells like teen spirit” marked the birth of the so-called grunge scene. Were we grunge? I think this is what I told grandma whenever she complained about my outfit. We just wanted to be like them, explosive, no rules, living each day to the extreme.

I don't care
Care if it's old.
I don't mind
Mind. I don't have a mind.
Get away



Here goes Song #3:
Birth – Nirvana
2nd album of the band
Nevermind (1991)

When I sang with a garage band on my teens we made a cover of Polly. I remember we didn’t know the full lyrics, so we made them up. I guess nobody noticed! One of my favourite covers of the albums single, is the one from Patti Smith. Here’s a little bonus.
