Nirvana

Colorado has been home to a handful of talented musicians, so who do you think represents us on this map? Also, props to Wyoming. You get all the cool points.

Ugh, come on people. Kurt Cobain is trending pretty hard on Twitter today, since it's his birthday, but we doubt the authenticity of some of these "fans." Here are some dumb, dumb tweets dedicated to Cobain on his birthday. (We left out the twenty gazillion tweets of the quote "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are," because it's depressing how people aren

Then: We all know the naked baby on the cover of Nirvana’s album ‘Nevermind’ reaching for a dollar bill at the end of a fishhook. The infant was the photographer’s friend’s son (wow, what a mouthful) and was only 3 months old when he was thrown in the pool for the photoshoot. So whatever did happen to the Nirvana baby?

As former Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson continues the promo tour for his book, ‘Letters to Kurt,’ he’s been dropping bombshells about his experiences with the late Kurt Cobain. The latest is both touching and heartbreaking — it recounts what could have been.

Maybe Hole singer Courtney Love should just stay away from Vanity Fair writers. Love, who in a 1992 VF story apparently gave the impression she used illegal drugs while pregnant, has now raised an entirely different kind of ruckus. When asked recently by the magazine whether she’s still angry about late husband and Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain committing suicide in 1994, Love was candid and specific

Three unreleased Nirvana tracks that are part of the upcoming deluxe 20th anniversary reissues of ‘Nevermind’ are now streaming free on the web. One’s a scorching demo, another is a rather good quality “boombox” recording and a third is a concert version of the band’s most famous song.

It’s not too late to rename it Nirvanathon. Over the course of 12 hours, local performers from Canada will take a crack at playing the Nirvana anthem ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ 144 consecutive times as part of the Scotiabank Nuit Blanche art festival in Toronto on Oct. 1.

Since Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994 and Nirvana‘s inevitable breakup, Dave Grohl has stayed in the limelight and has flourished as the leader and frontman of Foo Fighters. Krist Novoselic, meanwhile, has put music on the back burner for the better part of the last 17 years. But Novoselic has picked a good time to strap on his bass again for the public: a Sept. 20 celebration and fundraiser in Seattl

Even the grungy apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Frances Bean Cobain, the 18-year-old daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole singer Courtney Love, showed off her tattoos and puffed on a cigarette for a series of black-and-white photos taken by fashion designer Hedi Slimane.

Demos, B-sides and concert recordings are among the rarities that will be included on not one, but two deluxe 20th anniversary editions of Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ from Universal Music Enterprises. Originally scheduled for a Sept. 19 release, the digitally remastered and beefed-up ‘Nevermind’ packages will now drop on Sept. 27 — 20 years and three days after the original album arrived.

Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ is lauded as one of the most important albums of the past few decades and its 20th anniversary is fast-approaching (feel old yet?). To celebrate, Spin magazine is releasing an unusual — and free — tribute.

Take three former members of Nirvana, put them together on a stage with their instruments and a stack of amps, and what do you get? The rock ‘n’ roll reunion of the decade — albeit one that played only briefly, and for an audience of one. It all happened when lead Foo Fighter and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl invited his old compadre, bassist Krist Novoselic, to come out for a Foos show. Durin
