There is a large faction of people who seem to presume you are just being contrary when you say you don’t like Nirvana…not the case for me…I seriously just never understood the hoopla around this band…I don’t hear this whole revolutionary status they have been assigned…the whole “band that speaks for the generation” thing…ugh,yuck…
Nirvana:just another band
and yeah fuck The Germs…I saw a movie about them and Darby a while back that made me like them even less…
It was one song and not really noteworthy. The onlything memorable about it was novaselicks lime green pants and crushed velvet purple shirt. Man he looks completely different! And yet his stage presence was exactly the same.

I just checked out the track.
I kind of dig it. It’s got almost an old bluesy Black Sabbath feel to it.
And yeah, I had no idea that was Krist until I started watching how he moved with his low-slung bass.

Damn straight! Would’ve been funny if he threw his bass in the air again.

Isn’t he involved in politics in some capacity?
Actually, I wouldn’t say his clothes were the only thing memorable. The song was pretty decent.

I don’t know. Something along those lines. About as politically relevant as Zach De La Rocha or some other hippies. I think he speaks at rallies or whatever, talking about how bad the WTO or corporations are or something.

I’m pretty sure he’s part of seattle’s city council.

He’s an “elected state committeeman,” whatever that is.

Maybe. But props for using “loose butthole” in a post!
Do you guys get the show “Workaholics” in Canada?

I just didn’t think it was very memorable. partly because i spent all of my time during the song waiting for the camera to go back to krist. I’m a guy who doesn’t care one thing about fashion but I couldn’t take my eyes off of krist’s get up. those clothes were louder than the song.

You didn’t… touch yourself… did you?

it apparently varies from state to state. it’s either a cheerleader for the state’s political parties or a someone who represents their county and acts as middleman between the capitol and the people of his county.

I had to look it up too and that is the impression I got and the one I’m pretty sure is relevant to Krist (I saw some references to the Green party’s committeeman).
It would just make sense, too, for the Green Party to have a recognizable figure to connect with their liberal and somewhat youthish constituency.
The world surely has turned on its head when the likes of Gunnar and Grmpysmrf start dispensing advice on popular culture and what counts as credible music.
If it keeps up you’ll all soon be wearing Dokken t-shirts, worshipping butt rock bands, living off bacon sandwiches and Jim Beam and harassing old ladies at bus stations for voting Republican.
Not to mention marrying your cousins.

That is a beautiful vision, my little emo friend.
