'pretty on the inside' was produced by kim so you KNOW it's gotta be good...
I got into Nirvana the wrong way round, so I've never 'grown out of them' only to 'rediscover' them: I picked up Bleach then Incesticide, the latter being the best thing they ever put out. So much invention - it hadn't even occurred to anyone that trying to be the Vaselines, Raincoats and Melvins at the same time was even an option.
I've always related to him in that way too - not as some idol who speaks my innermosts but as a switched on lad with a cracking record collection, a sarcastic as hell sense of humour ("I Hate Myself and Want to Die" is an amazing name for an album) and a penchant for the naughty stuff which, alas, got the better of him in the end.
Finally: the Bleach reissue is quality, the live set is excellent and segues from the album really nicely.
