Michael Stipe tried to get him to collaborate on new (Nirvana) material (Stipe was hoping the effort would get Cobain out of his spiraling depression).
I imagine Dave Grohl would've had more influence on the next album.

@maizekraize:disqus  I always have the problem with Biggie that most of it was produced by whatever we're calling Sean Colmes these days. His beats and style sounded dated when it was new. But It know what you mean.

It always sounded 'Cobain-influenced' to me, emphasis on the 'influenced'. Love didn't write the songs entirely alone though (well, wikipedia gives her sole credit for one of them) and I'm sure the other members of the band contributed. 
I'm fairly certain the debate only comes up because people hate her (equal parts:…

That song Polly on Incestide sounds like a faster 'punk-rock' version of some song off Nevermind.  It's totally derivative.

1. not many late-19th, early 20th century anarchists, no…
2. well spotted. I fixed the mistake.

Oh, okay. I see what you mean about American Catholicism now. Yeah, I thought you were going in a totally different direction.

It is a little sad, though.

What are you views on socialists vs Democrats?

"The man in the [yellow] hat" was a clearly a curious george reference.

It caused me to have some hype-backlash backlash.  The 'Nirvana is just a Pixie's ripoff' is a huge pet peeve of mine.  Especially because Nirvana ripped off their sound from so many other bands as well.  I know it's just supposed to mean "I'm cool than you because I know about an increasingly less-obscure band and…

@ObliqueStrategy:disqus, the only difference that I've noticed was a move to HD widescreen.  Seriously, that's it.

Could you please cut back a bit with the 'cocksuckers' a bit?

@avclub-7ffc7b9269a024d949b808e6856f525d:disqus: "(Sure, there's a few people that identify with both meanings but there's no party that represents them)." But the few that do exist are a trivial part of the Republican party, but an important part of libertarianism, namely William F. Buckley and the Cato Institute. …

Cobain made an off-handed, snarky remark about his musical influences.  So clearly Nirvana is just a corporate friendly version of the Vaselines.

It's true, Wu-tang clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Not being capable of reuniting, hasn't stopped Sublime (with rome) from touring.  I mean, have they no respect for the memory of Lou the Dog.

@avclub-7ffc7b9269a024d949b808e6856f525d:disqus, I'm confused.  You seem to saying that Objectivism and the evangelical movement have overlapping followers (which I agree with, and that is inexplicable).

This is true of pretty much every college QB.  For some reason this and that rushing QBs (ie college QBs) are prone to injury.  Yet for some reason they get hyped every fuckin year.

Thumbs up for clinical psychology reference.

"There hasn't really been a massive disruption in the system since then…" Recently, I've come to blame Blink 182 for this.  (I could probably blame all of pop-punk but they're the first major group I can think of that didn't have a punk pedigree to fall back on.) I don't think there was some conscious conspiracy about…
