1991 studio album by Nirvana
POPULARITY
The cross-pollination of punk and rock between the United States and Australia has been going on for decades, but one of lesser-known but most interesting (to us, at least!) is the 1980s and early 90s grunge scene, and how Australian bands like The Scientists, The Birthday Party, and Cosmic Psychos had an influence on their American Pacific Northwest counterparts. In the case of the Cosmic Psychos, it was finding commonality with bands like Mudhoney and the Melvins, and releasing their 1989 album on the then upstart Sub Pop label. In 1991 the band recorded with Butch Vig following the Nirvana's Nevermind sessions and produced Blokes You Can Trust, released on the influential Amphetamine Reptile label. For a three-piece, the sound is massive thanks to the fuzzed-out bass that will remind some of the desert and stoner rock scenes, while the old-school AC/DC riffs combined with punk and hardcore attitude of Black Flag and Motorhead lands on the spiritual kin of Seattle's grunge scene.

In case you haven't noticed, Music Mayhem is here, and this week your moderator JP has chosen NEVERMIND by Nirvana. NEVERMIND was one of the most successful albums of all time, with banger after banger in the first half alone. Nirvana took the world by storm with the first track on the album, Smells Like Teen Spirit, and rock music was never the same again. This year's theme for Music Mayhem are favorite bands, and JP has been a massive fan of Nirvana and gone-to-early genius frontman Kurt Cobain. In this episode he goes into his history with coming to terms with Nirvana being his favorite band, and reveals his approach to analyzing the album. Press play to listen to JP, Father Chuck, Matt, and returning guest co-host Father Fun as they discuss Nirvana's NEVERMIND.

For the first time in the short history of the Sound Logic Podcast, we have an album that came out during Ben and Mike's lifetime. Our guest today also falls into that category - our good friend Rob Jones, who happens to love this iconic Nirvana album. It turns out that we had more to say about a piece of music that came out during our lives... so much in fact, that we've broken down this album into a two-parter... the first one is here for your listening enjoyment today, the next part will be out tomorrow! Nirvana's Nevermind album brought them to pop culture fame, and Rolling Stone named this their 17th greatest album of all time.

Matt Heart Spade & Jinners reminisce about bands that had too many members and weird band names like Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene. They also reflect on bands that got people dancing like !!! and The Fever, and a time when labels had more of a sound identity than they do today. Matt & Jinners also wonder if you have to be a little bit crazy to be super successful? And why do frat boys always show up at shows when bands go mainstream like at concerts for The National and Modest Mouse. For their Repeat/skip segment, Matt & Jinners share which tracks they would repeat and skip on Nirvana's Nevermind and Green Day's Dookie. Plus, find out who they give kudos to!Special thanks to Ryan Mulkey, our technical director who also wrote our theme song and drew our cover art!
September 1991 — “Ten” by Pearl Jam Bursting out of what was becoming the Seattle scene Pearl Jam achieved mainstream success with its debut album, anachronistically named Ten. The popularity of the album was slow coming, but has shown a staying power over the decades. Often identified with the grunge movement, and considered highly influential, Pearl Jam nevertheless defies labels. Their strong melodies and melancholy, open lyrics evoke not only grunge, but metal, alternative rock, and straightforward hard rock. Join us as we focus on what Wayne considers "the month that changed rock and roll." “Once” This is the first track, and leads with a strong guitar riff and Vedder's powerful voice. “Why Go” This is the second track. Though considered a part of "the grunge bandwagon," Pearl Jam's album was recorded before Nirvana's “Nevermind” hit the charts. “Jeremy” A compelling song written about a middle school boy who committed suicide in class. Eddie Vedder read about the story in the Dallas Morning News and was inspired to write Jeremy. “Oceans” This is a deeper cut, “The sea will rise, please stand by the shore, oh, oh, oh, I will be, I will be there once more.” ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: “Home Improvement” - theme Tim Allen's very successful sitcom debuted this month. STAFF PICKS: “Wild Hearted Son” by the Cult Brian says this track and album was inspired by the plight of the Native American. The picture used on the cover of The Cult's album resulted in a $61 million lawsuit. “Heavy Fuel” by Dire Straits Mark Knopfler leading his group in one of the last hits of his Dire Straits days before going solo. Rob gets a chuckle out of the song ironically extolling the virtues of “cigarettes, hamburgers, Scotch, lust, money, and violence.” “Three Strange Days” by School of Fish Bruce shares this one-hit wonder from a short-lived alt rock band — leads off with a buzzing guitar over a straightforward percussion beat. “Winds of Change” by the Scorpions Wayne closes out the Staff Picks with this pick — inspired by the opening of the Soviet Union, and the failed coup that would bring about that empire's demise. LAUGH TRACK: “Things that Make You Go, Hmmmm....” by C+C Music Factory We take this hip hop song with its tongue-in-cheek approach to life events as our cue to wrap up this week's podcast.
In honor of the 27th Anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind, the guys discuss their favorite songs and try to come up with the Ultimate Set List. What if you had a special show with the band? What 10 songs would you want them to play? But more importantly... what order would you want to hear them?
We had limited purview. Bandwagonesque was the record we knew, framed by the apparently unforgivable historical fact that any band with any album might edge Nirvana's Nevermind for an Album of the Year designation. That happened. Some still haven't gotten past it. Voting on things brings controversy. But this isn't that album. It's not even that argument. Here we canvass Grand Prix, widely regarded as perhaps the pinnacle of Teenage Fanclub's jangly alt-pop catalogue: not so breakneck as the racer on the cover might suggest, not as European either, come to think of it. But it does sound like a band accelerating in pursuit of the act they're meant to be. Breathtaking, dynamic, harmonious. Buckle up.

We talk to actor/comedian/improviser Johnny Meeks about THEOLOGY. Johnny's dad was a for-real theologist, and we're talking teaching, writing books, studied with Germans, preached in MLK Jr.'s church theologist. It takes us into discussions about politics, and social media and empathy. Whoa. Also Will talks about Ira Robbins' early review of Nirvana's Nevermind and Anthony talks about a 1950s singer named Buddy Knox and his song about Big Foot.
Butch Vig is a legendary producer. You might have heard of his work--Nirvana's Nevermind, maybe? He's also the drummer for Garbage, one of the most prolific and recognized rock bands of all time. So Butch has performed a lot--over 1,000 shows, all counted. But his most memorable show of all was in Serbia. In a castle. Surrounded by zombies. All the music in this piece was by Garbage. Listen to their latest album, Not Your Kind of People. It is catchy and it kills. Thanks so much to Butch and the band!
Colin Marshall sits down in Barnsdall Art Park with Hollywood Steve Huey, writer and media personality, former critic at All Music Guide and host of the web series Yacht Rock. They discuss his introductions to the likes of Michael Jackson, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Barry Manilow; elements of his home state of Michigan, including Big Rapids (not to be confused with Grand Rapids), Ann Arbor, and the urban ruins and $5,000 mansions of Detroit; the All Music Guide's shaping force on his musical consciousness; the lack of a genre equivalent to Yacht Rock today thanks to marketing departments' lack of imagination; great works, like Nirvana's Nevermind, that both found genres and dissolve them; life in the music nerd ghetto within the entertainment capital of the world at the time of bewildering musical (and cinematic and televisual) bounty; acquiring the name "Hollywood Steve" through a one-off gig on Pirates of the Caribbean; how he came to appreciate Barry Manilow, an artist known to some as a byword for bad music; and why guilty pleasures — whether musical ones in the case of Barry Manilow, or urban ones in the case of Los Angeles — are better enjoyed as regular pleasures.

With Mark Lawson. Mike Leigh's new play at the National Theatre, Grief, didn't have a title until two weeks ago, but it still sold out months ago, such is the anticipation around a new Mike Leigh work. Secrecy surrounded the project and the cast, including Lesley Manville, Leigh's long-term collaborator, were forbidden to give interviews about it. Will it live up to expectations? Gaylene Gould reviews. Booker prize-winning author A S Byatt describes her life-long fascination with Ragnarok, the Norse mythological story of Armageddon, and explains her approach to re-working ancient gods for modern readers. Nirvana's Nevermind, Primal Scream's Screamadelica and Simply Red's Stars were all released in September 1991. All three albums made a huge impact in the 1990s, but two decades on have they stood the test of time? Caspar Llewellyn Smith and Rebecca Nicholson, music writers from different generations, give their verdict. What does postmodernism mean, and where did it come from? These questions are explored by the V&A's new exhibition, Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990. Author Lawrence Norfolk reviews. Producer: Philippa Ritchie.
