NIRVANA DAY: Kurt Cobain’s Top 50 Albums

aprilie 5th, 2010 | By herminedirt

In noiembrie 2002 editura Riverhead Books lansa o colectie de Jurnale scrise de Kurt Cobain de la sfarsitul anilor '80 pana la moartea sa din 1994. Cartea a impartit fanii in doua: unii considerau ca este o violare a intimitatii artistului (pe prima pagina a jurnalului lui Cobain era scrisa fraza "Don't read my journal when I'm gone") iar altii au considerat-o oportunitate de a-l intelege mai bine pe idolul lor.

Nu este treaba noastra sa-l intelegem pe Cobain, asa ca am luat din Jurnale ceea ce se potriveste cel mai bine cu specificul No.3: o lista cu albumele sale preferate. Va asiguram ca, dincolo de valoarea istorica, aceasta poate fi pentru oricine o sursa de noi descoperiri muzicale.
