Courtney & Fathead Contribute Track to Nirvana Tribute

Hey old-timers. In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the release of the very popular Nervermind by a band called Nirvana, Reimagine Music and producer Jim Sampas have put together a tribute featuring covers of all the tunes that made up said classic album. And this cover-album bursts into the public conciousness Tuesday, October 25th. Why, that just might be tomorrow!

Say, how does this news specifically relate to our The Dandy Warhols? Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Brent Deboer, under their Dutch Masters umbrella, were kind enough to contribute a cover of the popular parking-lot staple “Smells Like Teen Spirit” to this collection. That’s how you know it’s good!

More/better information about this release can be digested from this blog article HERE.

Good luck!

Bluefin

Here’s a random factoid: the bluefin tuna is so rare (endangered) that in Japan one fish is worth up to 50 grand in sushi. Because of this they won’t put it on the “no-catch” (endangered) list. Wtf.

The Big Oyster

First of all, wow. A history of NYC told through oysters. Talk about factoids. The first steam engine was invented in 1698. Over 100 years later (1807) Robert Fulton would create a steamboat monopoly in the Hudson Valley and be credited with inventing them. This is the factoid I just read and I’m about a third of the way through.

This writer not only does his homewerk but is also wry and clever. I’m not gonna dig around for an example so just get this book and start reading.
