They make a living out of arts and crafts

Nirvana - Bleach

From back in the day when they were just a bunch of scabby kids with long hair making a racket. They didn't give a shit about anything except the music, and they didn't like to let on that they cared about that either.

The music is messy as hell, even compared to their later stuff, but Kurt's vocals seem more restrained than they became later on. It's a nice album, if you're in the mood for something noisy with a 'we just don't give a fuck' vibe, but it's not as good as their later stuff, and most of the best songs can be found on their live albums.

I think some of the stuff on Bleach is pretty good, even in comparison to the later stuff. I guess it's just that they'd moved on in their style, and I guess whether is a good thing or not is dependent on what the listener likes.

Bleach is pretty simple, and angry, and would be excellent to see played live.

By the way, I'm actually writing stuff on my blog now.
