      They are all my favorite, except anything produced by Butch Vig. Nevermind needed to happen, but still it really is just not that Nirvana sound. If you listen to enough of their live gigs, you'll know they were nowhere near as serious, polished, and Motley Crueish in terms of making a record as Nevermind turned out to be. So yeah Incesticide/In Utero/Bleach all the best material from them. Don't get me wrong though some tunes I adore on Nevermind, just when they played them live not with that heavy production found on the record.

    I think the reason why Kurt put his name as “kurdt” is because he spelt his name that way on his first demo tape, “literacy will prevail” that he made with his first band Fecal Matter. The spelling was for old times sake, though, a K in his last name is a mystery to me.

    Huh? Nooo. Kurdt is just a normal alternative spelling of the name Kurt, just like Cobain was originally spelled Cockbain. Kurdt Vanderhoof was playing in bands in Aberdeen when Kurt was a teenager, so that's likely where he first learned of the alternate spelling. It has nothing to do with Kurt's middle name. When have you ever heard of Kurt Cobain ever mentioning his middle name anywhere? You think a guy like Cobain wanted people to know his middle name was Donald? Highly unlikely.

    If the Melvin's had added Kurt to their band maybe they would've been huge. Their loss.

    The cassette was all screwy. It had neither Big Cheese, nor Downer on it. Downer wasn't listed, but Big Cheese was. They put Downer on Incesticide since it was missing from the tape, but they didn't put Big Cheese on there; probably because they just looked at the track listing instead of actually listening to it in order to make sure that all the songs were there. I also listed Negative Creep as the last song on side 1, when it was actually the first song on side 2. Real cluster fuck.

    If Pavitt changed the order I'd say it actually was a great call. Blew is SO much better of an opening track than Floyd. There's no better place for that super-tuned-down plodding bass-line than right as the album starts.
