obligatory "influential on song of the next few days" post.

again: i'm trying to avoid linking to the old stuff, but there's really a deficit of material that draws a direct influence from the stuff i really grew up with.

i'm not making a comparison. i yell at people when they do that. but you can tell i was listening to novoselic's bass playing.

this is a much more creative record than nevermind and had a much bigger influence on me. in utero > incesticide > nevermind, but none of the earliest really noisy stuff made it up to youtube, for various reasons. there's some later stuff. it's all at the bandcamp site, at the very bottom.

(relevant tracks: mosh pit song, unintelligible, first two punk/emo/grunge/industrial/noise demos in general. also, my guitar style is heavily indebted to kurt cobain's noise-first approach to the instrument; even if that influence gets lost under more direct influences from sonic youth and billy corgan that had a bigger effect on me when i was older, it was nirvana that opened my brain to the possibilities of chaining effects pedals together and feeding them through an amp.)
