This mix tape, that Kurt Cobain made some many years ago, is pretty good. You can read about the details of it here. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but then what’s good and isn’t an acquired taste?
Something that popped up in my feed and is plenty fun.
I’ve been quiet, but this new release popped up in my e-mail. And it’s good.

Oh, did Owen Ashworth just get all wistful? A surprise demo release from Advance Base.
