Happy anniversary this weekend to the Nirvana “Love Buzz”/”Big Cheese” 7″ released as part of the Sub Pop Singles Club, in November of 1988. It’s a little difficult for to get my head around the lasting legacy of Nirvana in our post-grunge musical culture (other than as a t-shirt fave for troubled youth in area malls), but at the very least, the idea that two decades have passed since the band’s Shocking Blue cover hit the music world is strange and disconcerting.

Still sounds great.
Frick, I feel old.
I have a terrible, terrible quality copy of the Peel session version of Love Buzz. It remains one of my favorite Nirvana recordings.
