In 1991, a friend of mine got an advance copy of #Nirvana's upcoming album, #Nevermind. He brought it over for me to hear because he knew I loved the #Beatles and he thought these new songs were as catchy as Beatles songs.
It's going to blow up, he said.
Nah man, that's a stretch, I said. It's catchy, but so are the Pixies.
Imagine my surprise a couple of months later.
Here's our prized Nirvana related possession, just a few months before the end.

#BandcampFriday Originally released in 1990 with cover art by #FrankKozik, “Born in Blood” has now been remastered for your listening pleasure. There’s a fantastic cover of #TheKinks’ song, “The Way Love Used to Be” on here. Hailing from in Houston, #PainTeens was a chaotic hybrid of punk, noise, tape manipulation, digital delays, sampling, and exotic instrumentation. https://painteens.bandcamp.com/album/born-in-blood-2023-remaster

Sad to hear about his passing. Think I've still got a few of his posters from the 90's in storage somewhere.
