Hey, Look, Nirvana's Bleach Was Reissued Today
In case you missed 'em, we've got a few pieces to mark the occasion:
-- Nirvana co-founder/bassist Krist Novoselic interviews Bleach drummers Dale Crover and Chad Channing
-- Jack Endino: Recording Nirvana Before They Were Nirvana
-- Bleach Signaled Chaos Around the Corner
-- Back in Bleach
Here's a piece of Novoselic's interview with Channing that was cut for space:
Novoselic: Was Bleach punk or rock?
Channing: Even though Kurt did things that could be in your face, there was a light flavoring pop tone. Because of his singing and vocal melodies - a popsensical way of doing things. If he was screaming all the time it would be more of a punk thing, so it was more pop - metal.
Novoselic: Grunge was taking off at the time. There was a cohesive Seattle scene.
Channing: Like Mudhoney was at the forefront.
Novoselic: They were a great band. They toured the UK to great reviews.
Channing: They were the spearhead. At that time, was there even a word "grunge"?

I was wondering when these punk (s) were going to put this out again. It is a great punk album.
