Nirvana’s ‘89 record Bleach took so many turns around my college radio turntable that it had to be replaced. Twice. Now, 20 years later I’ll be buying yet another copy as Bleach is about to be reissued as a double LP. The reissue includes Nirvana’s 1990 performance in Portland at the now re-purposed Pine Street Theater. A recording which has never seen the light of day until now. Just like the original 1989 record, the first pressing of Bleach’s reissue will be on white vinyl. Sweet!
Look for Bleach’s 20th Anniversary reissue on November 2nd. Pre-order now at Sub Pop.
Meet Heteropoda davidbowie. The real spider from Mars.
This eight legged freak was discovered in Malaysia by Peter Jäger. Jäger, who has discovered over 200 species of spiders, named his newest discovery Heteropoda davidbowie in the hopes that it would raise global awareness of the rare and endangered arachnid. Done and done!
Gene Simmons recently blathered all kinds of nonsense to one of the worlds ultimate shit-rags, The New York Post. Simmons barfed about his love of Walmart and his thoughts on Health Care Reform.Here’s the verbal poop straight from Gene’s gigantic piehole:
Simmons’ on KISS’s exclusive deal with Walmart:
They’re terrific. They give 2.5 million people jobs. It’s like America. Not everybody loves America. Say, ‘America,’ and see what happens.
That’s funny. I bet if you asked some of those 2.5 million people to use one word to describe Walmart, it would rhyme with space truckers.
Simmons’ on President Obama and Health Care:
I voted for President Obama, but his health care plan is a complete disaster. When I was growing up, it was ‘Make Love, Not War,’ and that’s great, but what if the other side wants to make war?
Oh shit! What does that even mean, Gene? And since we’re on the topic of things that qualify as complete disasters, let’s talk about that dead cat on top of your head. All wigs-gone-wild jokes aside, of course Simmons thinks the current plan to reform Health Care is a “disaster”. Simmons lives in a world where he can easily afford plastic surgery for life for his entire brood, to say nothing of having access to the best health care money can buy. Not reforming Health Care in the US would ensure things stay just that way, so of course Simmons is adverse to any change in Health Care’s status-quo. And that’s not okay when your elderly neighbor is cutting back on insulin because she can’t afford not to.
You can download he track Bad Boy from Speech Debelle for free, here. I myself have fallen in love with Debelle’s trip-hoppy, breathless vocals and madly sampled mixes so enjoy. I know you will.
