bethb's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- yeah, ok...it's nirvana c'est soir est les savy fav. i'm excited for some rock and roll therapy. also excited that maybe have an apartment guest in mid-january (fingers crossing, fingers crossed) switched conditioners and have recieved two compliments on my hair this week. however, they were both on days that i hadn't showered. Dirt power! song nuimber 2 that really made me listen (by the way, these are in no particular order) Nirvana's smells like teen spirit. In high school, i'd heard nirvana, but i still mostly thought of them in conjunction with their vaselline's covers. My freshman year of college, all of a sudden there was this this *sound* and this *sound* was everywhere.i dont mean grunge. it was just this song it wasn't a song-it was a whole sound. pretty early into the fall semester, sitting on a grimy couch in jeremy r's dorm room, sipping the offered luke-warm mountain dew i was reading the cassette cover and we were all trying to figure out the lyrics. but it didn't really matter. whatever he was saying he was right. and we were buying it. and buying it and buying it. i didn't buy into the rest of that "grunge" movement. i never liked pearl jam, alice in chains, that whole thing. jeremy did, but they didn't have the same sound or urgency that Nirvana's nevermind had. thinking back, it's pretty surreal how this song came, virtually, out of nowhere, and yet is the entire soundtrack for 3 months of my life. I don't think i've listened to nevermind probably since 1992 or 1993. i do think i bought in utero when it came out. i might still own it. but i'm worried that nothing is ever going to capture time and frame it for me as much as that song did. 11:47 a.m. - 2001-12-07 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
