Episode 280 - Incesticide by Nirvana (Side A)
Episode description
Who would have thought that there would be a lot to say about one of the biggest bands in the history of music? This week, and for the following two weeks, we’ll be talking all about Nirvana. Our discussion has been brought on by Chris picking Incesticide by Nirvana. He thinks its an unsung classic, of course, but before we get into the band’s discography, there’s the small matter of their history…
Alright, so we’ll be real with you here - this is an epic three parter. This episode will see us detail their history. We’ll talk about the odds and ends that bookended each album cycle, the live albums, the boxsets, as well as discuss the different band members, producers, recording circumstances and more. If you’re looking for the usual “unsung talks about the back catalogue before getting to the album proper” routine, well that’ll come in Side B, next week.
It’s pretty wild to think we’re talking about about one of the most “sung” bands in the history of music on a podcast named unsung. But as you will see over the next three weeks, there’s a whole lot of unsung material, from bootlegs to outtakes and b-sides, that really do deserve more attention. We hope you enjoy.
