I'm so ancient!!
MTV has Nirvana only this evening because it's ten years since Kurt Cobain killed himself. I remember sitting at my computer, alternatingly writing my magisterial thesis and my long keeping-my-mind-off-uni-work fic Lieutenants, listening to MTV all the time in the background, and then those news coming through.
They played the Unplugged set over and over again on MTV in those days. I never enjoyed Nirvana as such very much, to be quite honest - but I bought the Unplugged album and must have played it hundreds of times. It was one of those albums everyone had, like Buena Vista Social Club or Swing When You're Winning. I then gave it away to a colleague that left at my first job, and didn't have it for years until I bought it again, recently, in some "Utter Classics" edition. I had quite missed Kurt Cobain singing "Lake of Fire"...
And now it's all ten years ago - I fell so utterly ancient!!
