Everyone thinks Nirvana was the best thing to happen to pop music since Gerry & the Pacemakers.
Well, what about the part where they were responsible for Britney Spears and the return of teen-pop because they made everyone so miserable?
And who do you think is responsible for the Backstreet Boys, Bush, the Iraq war, gonorrhea, Avril Lavigne and everything else bad?
Looking back, Nirvana was just as useless as Adam and the Ants. So here's how Kurt and Co. ruined the world ...

feel free to contribute.

The winner gets to hit himself in the head for the rest of the day, until blissful unconsciousness is met.

Oh yeah, blah blah blah, I had sex for the first time, blah blah blah, next morning, the news breaks that Cobain's been found dead.

So I guess this week is MY ten year anniversary as well! And also it would my sister's 10th Wedding Anniversary, if her marriage had, y'know, not ended.

Suddenly Terence Trent D'Arby fans were buying up copies of "Zen Arcade"

If it weren't for Bjork, we might as well all still be cavemen right now.

Actually I've just reread the last para and think that someone may be having a little fun at our expense

Finally, I don't think we should declare any contest of this nature over until something by Steve Sutherland enters the ring

I think this guy might be a goofer:

New music is awful. Has anyone ever heard Chingy? That's why smart people like Michael Bublé, 28, are raiding their grandfathers' record
collections and making albums full of killer songs like "My Funny Valentine" and "Can't Help Falling in Love." The baby-faced crooner is so good
he was discovered by no less an authority than the prime minister of his native Canada. When was the last time our president found a good pop
star? Bublé released "Come Fly With Me," a new live CD/DVD package, last week.

I think there was a lack of context given for this Cobain piece, but his Buble interview is pretty funny.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 April 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, this guy is funny.

Q: Do you talk in your sleep?

A: I don't know. Parks says I do.

Q: What do you say?

A: I guess I don't say anything phonetical. Here, ask her.

Q: What does Ryan Adams say in his sleep?

Posey: Awwwaaaarrrrghaaarrgh!

Q: I have no idea how to spell that.

"but imagine how wonderful the world would be without the dreary generic toss of the Foo Fighters."

Why is somebody in San Francisco talking like they're British? Since when do Americans call anything "toss"??? Obviously he is a fake.

― chuck, Monday, 5 April 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, he's kind of a Nardwuar-lite.
His interviews are pretty funny, but his other stuff gets tired pretty quickly.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 April 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

From the looks of things, he also has no concept of what constitutes a good Poison riff. ("Unskinny Bop"? What the fuck??)

― chuck, Monday, 5 April 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

no-one should take aiden vizari seriously, he just writes this stuff and is as surprised as anyone else that anyone will publish it. his interviews are classic.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Monday, 5 April 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

has anybody let douglas coupland write something about this yet?

This utter wank makes me ashamed to be a reader of that newspaper.

Interesting. Where can I get some stuff by the Meat Puppies?
