I’ve heard the “original” version of In Utero. It’s way different and has less polish then it did originally. Guitars are sharper, lyrics are buried Albini style. This journalistic bullshit is unwarranted and useless. No hype needed. Rolling stone is a rag, grunge is dead. My generation’s Bob Dylan shot himself. It’s sad and heart wrenching. A regular person made it big and we watched him crash and burn. True American tradition. Nobody is going to truly appreciate it anyways. Whatever nevermind.

Wait – I thought that some Nirvana fans, media outlets and journalists WERE fooled. Or… did Universal Music Enterprises just fool me into thinking that they thought I wasn’t fooled ? When clearly, if they *truly* thought I wasn’t fooled, they wouldn’t have had to tell me it was a hoax. And how *would* I get legitimate information from a band which no longer exists? I think this all deserves a great deal more thought, discussion, and maybe some additional press releases.

Electric Banana received a note from Sujata Murthy the Sr. Vice-President of Public Relations at Universal Music Enterprises this morning stating, “Regarding the Nirvana “memo” being circulated, Universal Music Group is pleased to see that fans, media outlets, and journalists are not fooled by the hoax. We regret that fans received this initially as “Nirvana news” instead of legitimate information from the band or the label.” more here

Clearly a hoax. Things like this are sort of funny, but they are bad for credulous people who believe that everything in the media is coordinated. Let’s keep idiots in mind when we try to make things go viral.

I’m afraid this is no better than attempting to polish a turd. Cobain was never more than a media campaign. We must assume that the widow Cobain is getting short of a few bucks.
