  1. Yeah Buzz has said that Kurt's production efforts mostly consisted of nodding off in another room. He was in bad shape by then.
  2. Fun fact: according to Steve Albini, most of the vocals on "In Utero" were recorded in one sitting.
  3. The quiet verse/loud chorus dynamic definitely. "Come as You Are" was also basically a rework of the main riff in Killing Joke's "Eighties". poo I think Cobain has even said that the main riff in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was just a re-interpretation of "More Than a Feeling". When they exploded it was like lightning striking. It was the right producer, the right climate in popular music, the right image, everything. Perhaps most important, to keep things on track with this topic, was Grohl replacing Chad Channing. Channing is a competent drummer but Dave Grohl is punk John Bonham. It's no contest. Consider a song like "In Bloom"; there was a version of it they had done for Sub Pop and it doesn't sound dissimilar from anything else that was on "Bleach". Butch Vig got his hands on it with Dave Grohl playing drums and adding vocal harmonies and suddenly it's this anthemic wall of sound monster.
  4. My favorite Pearl Jam song is the one that goes eherrehheherrheaeah
  5. Probably liking every single one of Elon Musk's cringe meme tweets as we speak
  6. fug it, I'm digging the Nintendo 64 out of the closet e: please don't make an "out of the closet" joke or I'll have to leave the site forever
  7. Absolute bullshit, one of the worst calls in Super Bowl history
  8. Oh neat, Elon Musk taking a break from firing people for his Twitter account not getting enough engagement
  9. Rolling Stones in (I think) Super Bowl XL were terrible as well. Rock bands generally translate better when they can play a 2 hour set and settle in to the venue.
  10. Dre with Snoop and Prince are the gold standard imo
  11. This hasn't been horrible. Rihanna is a competent live singer and the visuals are interesting and well choregraphed.
  12. I appreciate the homage to the side scrolling levels from Super Mario Bros 3 though
  13. til DJ Moore cuts me off every day when I'm driving to work
  14. Thankfully we just had a Gutfeld commercial to offset that
  15. My main exposure to him was the White Stripes' cover of "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself"
  16. Eagles fans and the city of Philly in general are jerks but it's in a way that I oddly appreciate. Like they hate the Eagles more than anything but love them just as much at the same time.
  17. Are we really sure we want to get rid of somebody with roots from a college football powerhouse like Western Carolina
  18. Yeah I appreciated it that way too, it was like a celebration of the season and players. You even had guys who had just played in the Super Bowl participating in some of those.
  19. It's only a matter of time until the Pro Bowl is shitcanned. The only people who watched it were diehard NFL fans anyway, and that was back when it was more or less a normal game with modified rules. It went way down hill in the 2010s. The last watchable Pro Bowl was after the 2013 season when they had the Prime/Rice team captains format and those grey jerseys with the neon trim. It's sort of like Thursday Night Football. The players don't want to do it and if given the option wouldn't, and it just exists as a way for the NFL to wring another nickel out of a market they've already completely saturated. I mean really, who is going to go out of their way to watch 7v7 flag football? Who's interested in that?
