Nirvana '89 show in Madison released

Nirvana's first gig here in Madison on 7 July 1989 at O'Cayz Corral has been dusted off and shared on Youtube.

I once had a conversation with a sound guy about town who told me that he was going to record the Nirvana show he was doing but he had forgotten to hit record because he was chemically enhanced, shall we say. I am not sure if it was this performance or the one the following year at Club Underground.

While it doesn't have A+ hifi sound, it is quite good.

It's too hot to cook inside

And so the grilling continues. Last night it was brats. Presumably because of the awful humidity, my first attempt at lighting the charcoal didn't go so well. Uff da!

They were quite tasty and went well with a highly refreshing pilsner from Goldfinger which I picked up when I was in Chicago a couple weeks back.

Not only does she hang out on my desk...
