As you are, as you were

Happy 20th aniversary, Nevermind!
Nevermind the fact that it was actually yesterday.
On september 24th, 1991, Nirvana released the masterpiece that today is one of the most iconic records in the history of music. Smells like Teen Spirit, Come as You Are, Lithium, Polly, Something in the Way music played by angels. Only the angels wore bleached jeans and used shirts, forgot to shave for a few days and were a little bit stoned. But still.

Hi.


Not feeling particularily musical lately, so no clever updates of this blog. Instead, here's a picture of Kurt Cobain not giving a flying F about you, me, or anything else on this planet.

Slash's Snakepit

One of Slash's projects back from when he was still a part of GnR. Original lineup also has GnR bandmates, drummer Matt Sorum and guitarist Gilby Clarke + Alice in Chains bassist Mike Inez + Jellyfish's Eric Dover as a lead vocalist.
Could you even dare to ask for more? Press play if you haven't done that already and be thankful that this kickass piece of music is now part of your life. Or be an audio junkie like me and go listen to the whole '95 album. You are most welcome.

Missing puzzle pieces

Tonight's music is played by Kings of Convenience, alternative rock/indie pop-folk (that's complicated) duo from Norway, Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, both singers and composers of their songs. I'm not exactly sure of how to pronounce their last names, but what I am sure of is that this is one of the cutest songs I've ever listened to.


P.S First day of school was really really actually quite nice. Huh.

I said no, no, no



Today I'm listening to Amy Winehouse. Enough with the "she has so many fans now that she's not around anymore" whatever, the girl's music stands somewhere right next to perfect, I say it now, I said that when I first heard her, from then on, and from now on. I don't care who she was, as a person, as I usually don't care about the private lives of the artists I listen to, no matter what she went through or what addiction she struggled with when she was alive, it made her write all those soulful masterpieces. And the age of 27 is probably the last thing she has in common with other musical legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison, with musical value and originality standing way ahead, and one of the few nice things I can say about my generation is the fact that we had Amy Winehouse. Therefore, R.I.P, Amy.

Dear webpage I ocasionally talk to,


Greetings from the not-so-sunny Bulgarian seashore, I have limited internet access, therefore I only stopped by to say that the 10h road trip I took to get here made me decide that when Dub FX recorded the LP with Sirius, he made the best dubstep mix I have ever heard. I mean, listen to this. It's perfect for what I'm going to do these next days, which is nothing. While staring at the sea. Akasjdhaskjdhahgsdjasd. I heart the sea.
