Albums For Your Island - Nevermind (Second Show) [Fifty-Third Show Playlist]
Album: Nevermind - Nirvana
Introduction: Released September 24, 1991
1) "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Information: Band’s second album, their first for a major label; brought alternative to mainstream. Kurt Cobain was going for more of a pop influence in his songs.
News
2) "In Bloom"
3) "Come As You Are"
4) "Breed"
Information: Worked with Butch Vig (producer) to get "heavy" sound. Mixing (Andy Wallace) wasn't satisfactory, sounded like "a Motley Crue" record.
Live PSA
5) "Lithium"
6) "Polly"
Campus Announcement
7) "Territorial Pissings"
8) "Drain You"
9) "Lounge Act"
Information: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video played on MTV during the day. Nevermind became #1 on January 11, 1991 (replacing Michael Jackson). Music described as thick like Mudhoney, melodic like The Pixies. Cover image of naked baby slightly controversial.
Recorded PSA
10) "Stay Away"
11) "On A Plain"
----------------------------------------------------------------
12) "Something In The Way"
This was my second episode of Albums For Your Island. I went forward in future by about thirty years to play an album that changed rock music as much as Dylan's emergence changed the world of rock music in the 1960s. Next week's show will be an hour later, at 11:00. Tune in then!
[I've gone back and edited the titles to count the shows in a continuous processsion.]
