Spot the difference – Nirvana and PJ Harvey

My wife pointed this one out, inadvertently.

The opening bars of ‘About A Girl’ sounded out.

From the bathroom, Charlotte called out, “Is this Polly Harvey? It’s the only song of hers I know.”

I started laughing.

“That’s great!” I remarked. “Very funny.”

She second-guessed.

“Is this Nirvana?”

She further explained, “When I used to go out dancing at indie discos, I got to recognise the opening bars of all the DJ’s songs.”

She’s quite correct. I’d forgotten. Remarkably similar guitar.

P.S. While we’re here.

Hole – ‘Teenage Whore’

The Fall – ‘God-Box’

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
