Smells Like a New Blogger: Krist Novoselic

I'm excited to announce that our friend Krist Novoselic, political activist, former bassist for Nirvana, and current member of Flipper, has joined our stable of bloggers. He'll post a regular column, which has yet to be named, every Tuesday on The Daily Weekly. He plans to write about politics, news, music, and culture. In his first post, "Smells Like (Put Word Here) Spirit," Krist addresses the origins of the title, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," anarchy, and the WTO riots of 1999.
In addition to his blogging duties, Krist has agreed to join Managing Editor Mike Seely and Editor Mark Fefer in their a capella group, Scatamaran. Watch Reverb for tour dates.
Welcome aboard, Krist.

We\'ll sing In My Room in German. The Beach boys did this - I have the record. The literal translation is \"All Alone\" Somehow -zimmer- must not have hit the phrasing quite right.

Welcome, Krist; I promise to keep my fishing for Nirvana trivia to a minimum. It\'ll be good to have your voice in the mix.

I would like to inform Mr. Novoselic that we live in a Republic and not a Democracy and there\'s a huge difference. Why do we permit politicians to sell us Democracy when we have paid for our Republic in blood? I challenge all Americans to answer this question for themselves.

Hello Krist,
What is there to be done after Nirvana? Why not. Just play Sappy once again like in 89\'
