Nirvana: The Mix-Tape

Even though Nirvana is one of my all-time favorite bands, it had been a while since I binged on their music. The 20th Anniversary release of In Utero changed that.
Listening to those songs again, as well as various b-sides, remixes, and live tracks, dropped me back into the heart of the '90s, long before conversations about Nirvana sounded like revered summations of Abraham Lincoln's presidency and images of the band were generically doomed to hang in guitar megastores and music-themed restaurant chains.
Yes, back in the Alternative 1990's we were aware of the band's greatness and importance, but besides being greatly important and/or importantly great, time has seemingly forgotten that Nirvana was a scrappy-garage-feminist-punk band with a deviously hilarious sense of humor.
To capture this essence of the band, I decided to do what I would've done as a teenager growing up in the dual-cassette-deck era: Make a mix-tape!

For those too young to experience it or those who may have forgotten, I'm hoping this mix (and it is a mix, not to be confused with a "playlist") will reignite the feeling of what is was like when Nirvana was alive, sticking their thumb in the face of music convention, and joyously making feedback-drenched anthems that quickly outgrew their garage.

Fall Run Road

The playlist eases you into fall, transitioning from warmer sounding tunes to cooler. Beware, the tempo picks up two-thirds of the way through, however, if you keep pace, you'll be rewarded with a cool down at the end of the mix.
Not every song is autumn-themed, but our team of athletes road tested the tunes and confirmed that the playlist is perfect for a nice fall run. (Just make sure your running shoes don't slip on any wet foliage.)
