Kolek planning to go pro
I don’t think it’s homogenized. I think it’s splintered. With Spotify, etc. music has become highly selective. There’s new stuff that comes out all the time , but you don’t hear it because you are listening to stuff you like.
The EDM craze since 2010 or so got really big. There’s probably more kids becoming DJ’s than actual musicians these days. It’s much easier to press a button than play the guitar
I listen to more stuff than I ever have in my life and discovered stuff I ignored or mocked years ago. But that’s a personal anecdote.
Saw Nirvana at the old New York Coliseum in the Fall of 1993. The Breeders opened. Went on a whim at the last minutes with some law school buddies.Was blown away at how big of a sound the three of them created. Less than 6 months later Cobain was dead. Coincidentally, I was at a Crowded House/Sheryl Crow show the night he passed at Roseland Ballroom. I recall it being similar to my parents’ “where were you when Kennedy was killed” scenario. I can remember the specific time and place (and reaction).

Interesting. Next year you’ll be listening to Rocket and hanging on every word.
I hope I don’t get a brain tumor
And I have to add I missed out going with my cousin on what has become a legendary show locally here in New Haven.Nirvana played at this long closed place in New Haven called, The Moon, in September 1991 about 2 weeks before the release of Nevermind. Supposedly the band was doing shots with the boisterous crowd and Kurt banged his head on a wood beam on the ceiling almost knocking himself out.
If you discover it next year you probably already have it.
I completely forgot about this:SEP 29, 1989 BMU GRILLMarquette University, Milwaukee, WI, United States Bleach Rescheduled USA Tour Cancelled - Nirvana did not make it to the show, since Kurt was having stomach problems.
Whoever was in charge of booking bands for the Union in the late 80s/early 90s knew what they were doing.Saw bands like the Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum, Goo Goo Dolls and (almost) Nirvana before they broke big. And, if I recall correctly, Pearl Jam was booked for the Union just before they broke big, and the show was moved to the theater to accommodate them and the crowds.
