Hi! Did you read this?: Exiting the Flipper Universe By Krist Novoselic in Krist Novoselic: Contention & ConsciousTuesday, Jun. 16 2009 @ 2:35AM Krist Novoselic's column runs every Tuesday on the Daily Weekly. Last summer, after a show with Flipper in Portland, I was carrying my bass amp head to my truck when a kid stopped me by the door. "Hey, Krist, will you sign this? Nirvana changed my life," he said, and handed me a well-worn Nevermind CD. With my hands full, I set the amp down, signed the CD, thanked him, then excused myself, as I was in the middle of working. There was a time in my life — when I was that kids' age — that Flipper did the same for me. And I never dreamed that I'd one day play bass with the band, much less put out a Flipper record, like we did with Love last month. But it was in that moment in Portland I realized playing bass with Flipper wasn't going to work out. Let's go back to 1983 when King Buzzo lent me this album called Generic Flipper. Instead of sped up Punk, the music was slower and kind of weird. I didn't know what to think about it until the third time I gave it a spin. I was floored! Wow, I thought, this music is as heavy as anything. It was some kind of epiphany that revealed the meaning of Punk for me - this music is its own world and as valid as any other. My life has many blessings. Sometimes I'll assess things and ask myself: "Will wonders ever cease?" In 2006 I got an invitation from the band that led me to enter the Flipper universe. There was a fellowship that led to inspiration. Playing with the band was compelling. There's nothing worse for a band than the feeling that playing is a chore and I never felt that way. I feel like we caught the muse and the result was a brand new Flipper record. Having been a fan of the band and influenced so much by their music, I knew how to approach the bass playing. Instead of trying to explain how I played the bass in Flipper, I'll let the music do the talking on the new record. To work on the album, I'd either travel down to Oakland to play or the band would come up to Washington. When we were up here, we'd call it band camp. It was communal living in the country, and between jamming and recording we'd share meals around a long table. Mr. Jack Endino, who also recorded Nirvana's debut, Bleach, (released 20 years ago this week), recorded and mixed the Flipper record. Jack knows how to keep a band organized through the recording process, which ensures a product at the end of the session. (We also recruited Jack to record our live record, Fight.) I'm happy and even honored that we were all peers in the Flipper universe. But, the reality is that I used to play bass in one of the biggest rock bands in the world. And the life I've since grown accustomed to didn't always parallel my experience with the band. Flipper is true Punk Rock, and I lived that with them. I drove my own rig — with gear in the back — to shows. I set up my amp, tuned my bass - to Falconi - and played my heart out every night. No matter how sincere my aims were, there was this disparity that was lurking behind the scenes. When I had to set the amp down to sign that autograph, I knew that things were not going to work out regarding touring with Flipper. You might be asking - why don't you hire a roadie? It's not about carrying gear. It's about the "big rock guy" having his own roadie, thus the disparity is revealed again. And it's a slippery slope from there. I never put a dime into Flipper and the fellows in the band can be proud that the "rock guy" never floated their boat financially. I'm happy with LOVE FIGHT, and I hope it endures. Generic will always be the band's opus and I'm happy for the opportunity to have added to the group's catalog, and for the fellowship that endures to this day. I wish my friends the best with their new bass player, and I can't wait to see them live soon. As for me, there's election reform, pressing apples, SeattleWeekly.com, and perhaps whatever musical endeavor comes next. If it's compelling - I'm in! http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2009/06/exiting_the_flipper_universe.php#more

I love "Come As you Are" and i also love "Lounge act" , "Stay Away", "Breed","Negative Creep", "Heart shaped box", "All apollogies", "sappy" , "Something in the way", "Very ape", "About a girl", "Big cheese", "Aneurysm", . . . , well :thinking: i love all Nirvana`s songs!!!

I agree.

airbag or karma police or let down or reckoner :\

Yes, this article is wrong. But i don`t know a lot of the real meaning of Nirvana`s lyrics. I just can enjoy it! :smug:

Yes, he is! He is one of the biggest rockstar of all history and he`ll live forever in his music!!! :lol: Cobain was famously anti-commercial, so many fans feel uncomfortable with the money the poster boy of grunge continues to pull in. What do you thing about this?

Has anybody seen the new SPIN magazine with Green Day on the cover? It has a lot of info on Nirvana from an "inside" source. Anyways, on the cover, it advertises that it has RARE and UNSEEN photographs, which most actually happen to be in the book, Cobain Unseen (i have this book) :D I don´t have the magazine but maybe you have it . . . :)

I like Pearl Jam but . . . :thinking: it isn´t on my top 10 of fav bands. "Even Flow", "given to fly" and :thinking: "Hail, Hail" are good songs. :D

Sounds of the Universe - Depeche Mode :D

:confused: I don´t know . . . I will try to get more info. But maybe you´re right about this article.

I found this article in a magazine :) I have no doubt in my mind every famous musician who committed suicide either knew it was going to happen, or planned it well ahead of time. in the book by Christopher sandford, who almost dedicated his life to dig into Cobain's brain and see what he was thinking, he says this. "His greatest talent may have been good timing." Had the band made that CD two years earlier, not shit would have happened. I believe Cobain understood this, and may have thought that Nirvana wasn't really talented. The very next paragraph of this biography, the author then says "By the time Jimi Hendrix was 27, the age Cobain died, self-indulgence in drugs, groupies, and sheer boredom led him to a demoralizing crisis...This would have likely happened to Cobain,". This is my preview now here i go into detail. Load up on guns bring your friends- the song happiness is a warm gun by the beatles goes "And I feel my finger on your trigger,I know no one can do me no harm,Because happiness is a warm gun." This is a reference to shooting heroin which lead Kurt to suicide, it made him feel happy because he had stomach pains and heroin relieved it. so basically the song by the beatles is about shooting your friend up, and so is this line. It's fun to lose and to pretend- your losing the war against heroin, but when your on it you feel great (reference to how it makes you feel good but it's really bad.)as we all know rockstars just get into drugs. She's over bored and self assured Oh no, I know a dirty word- This line is about a groupie. She's bored and cocky and he take's advantage of her. and if you don't get it, the dirty word is FUCK. Hello, hello, hello, how low? Hello, hello, hello, how low? Hello, hello, hello, how low? Hello, hello, hello - This is showing how immoral it is that he has sexual relations with a girl who just met him just because he plays good music. With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us - again showing how immoral it is to just sleep with a random girl because you have musical talent. Rockstar's typically turn the lights out while having sex with the groupie to avoid any feeling of love or attachment. Here we are now entertain us is flat out telling the girl to fuck him. hes saying how immoral the rockers life is. A mulatto, an albino A mosquito, my libido - a mulatto is a mixed person. albino is a white person obviously, and a mosquito is an animal obviously lol. Libido means sexual desire so this line is pretty much saying idc what you are as long as you fuck me bc of who i am. again showing how immoral a rockers life is and the lights out line comes back again. I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed- Like the psychologist i mentioned in this preview, Cobain's best talent was actually good timing. He's saying even though his good timing made him famous, his could also be the death of him so he's terrible at it. And for this gift i feel blessed is him being serious about it, yet not at the same time in the point he loves it yet hates it. Our little group has always been And always will until the end- him being negative and positive at the same time. As you know, all groups get all and forgotten he was saying that now he knew that his group would be famous because of their good timing, but they wont be forever and and always will until the end his just him saying how ignorance is bliss. And I forget just why I taste Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile- Talks about how even though a rockstar's life has perks, it also has downfalls. everything become's routine and life is just a run through. I found it hard, it was to find Oh well, whatever, nevermind - Even though no one who has my theory understand's the last line, i can interprept it clearly. He's saying how his talent was just luck "hard to find" and the last non-chorus word in this song is the CD that actually makes them famous...Nevermind...The CD that actually provide's him this kind of life. song recap- as he ends the song he repeats in denial several times...He's saying that all this is great right now, but he knows how the future will end. Like all the other rockstar's... But it didn't end that way for Kurt, because he wouldn't let it. He killed himself at the age of 27, and joined the controversial club. They are considered the most popular band of the 90's and there music is still extrermely popular because at the time of Kurt's death the band was in it's prime...and will forever remain that way. This song is about how the rockstar fate always end's the same. Your only loved for your music then when that's gone there's nothing there to keep you spirit alive in someones eyes. Your known for your music but that's not who YOU are. and despite the rumors and how he claimed he didn't know what teen spirit was until after the song was out, that's a lie. he dated the girl and lived with her, he would have had to have seen the deodarant laying around somewhere. It was a cover up just like how pantera have been quoted saying cowboys from hell was there first CD...Muscians cover everything up to keep there status...just like teen spirit deodorant does... covers up the nastiness. He explains how every rocker gets old in this song and there music dies. his didn't and that's why he killed himself. He's now in the book with other famous musicians and not because of his greatest talent getting lucky timing, but making good music

Yo me pregunto lo mismo :laugh3:

:thinking: I have to study :P

Great pics! :D

Your mind is a mistery :laugh3: :thumbsup:

:shocked2: I didn`t know it!

Metallica will be in Argentina soon!! :lol:

No,no escuché nada.

All Nirvana´s songs are great!!! You have to buy the original cds!

Yes, Nirvana`s versions are better! :D

Do you know "the Vaselines"? They made the original versions of "Molly`s Lips" and "Son Of a Gun". Now Sub-Pop have released an album called "Enter the Vaselines" on vinyl and cd. I think It`s an interesting material. They will play in Barcelona soon.

I love The Beatles!
