Montage of Heck: New Nirvana/ Kurt Cobain Documentary featuring a chilling Beatles cover.

This new and exiting Nirvana documentary appeared at the Sundance Music Festival and had gotten great reviews! It appears in theaters on April  24th,( Probably no where in Michigan, of course.:( This documentary includes unreleased music, home videos, Nirvana concert footage and other material from the late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain who passed away from a tragic suicide in 1994.This movie features a chilling cover of "And I love her" by Kurt Cobain. I wasn't able to listen to it on the Rolling Stone website, but I found it on youtube. It is very distorted and you can hear a woman's voice in the background. I have a box set of some of Nirvanas "unreleased" songs and Demos and I will admit it's pretty eerie to hear. You can hear Kurt goofing around, talking to his band members or cursing in frustration in the middle of a song because he made a mistake, I recall in one demo that you could hear a baby crying and im assuming it was his only daughter.The box set I own features a few covers. One was originally by The Velvet Underground( Here She Comes Now"- which was very well done. This demos are really strange and im looking forward to the movie. Ive been a Nirvana fan for as long as I can remember and I hope to see this movie somehow since I don't have HBO the last time I checked.

PS. Don't worry though, if you have HBO this documentary will appear on May 4th.

Here is a link to the chilling cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdcA_ozN17Q

Summer Concert tours 2015!

I love going to concert in the summertime the most, I prefer to be at outside venues like ballpark. My friend Maddeigh called me last August before I started school and asked if I wanted to go to Fifth Third Ballpark to see the Goo Goo Dolls,Daughtry, and The plain White T's in concert, I was a fan of an album of two from each band and was happy to go. We just had general admission seats but it was a great concert and loved every moment. This Summer there are a lot of hot concerts. One of the top ones is the Rolling Stones at Comerica Park in Detroit. I personally checked the price for these tickets at the were far too much for decent seats at least (260 dollars per ticket) Fredrick Meijer Gardens just released there summer concert list which you can view from the bottom of this post) Artists Range from the Steve Miller Band to Christina Perri. Are you ready for all of this summer fun? I sure am. Spending time with friends, the energy of the music and the concert ts are something I really look forward to!(Im going to see Aerosmith with my friend Summer in August and I cannot wait!)

Record Store Day!:)

This Saturday is known as Record Store day. Studies show that this day actually draws a youmger crowed, its not just for the nostalgia of older people. Most people would think not any young adults would own not own records, just Ipods. A UK study confirmed that 14% of 18-24 year olds had purchased vinyl compared to 5% of 35 to 50 year olds.
The top consumer to buy records is 25 to 25 year olds at 26%..
I personally think vinyl records are great even though I own very few. I also think its cool how they put modern albums on vinyl. For example,I own Justin Timberlake 20/20 on a vinyl that I found at Target, of all places. Vinyl can last a long time, if you take good care of it. My uncle has a few shelves full at his house that still work.
