They don’t make album promos like they used to, I tell you what. The kids today, they’re interested in their Jay-Z cell phones and daffy punks and African-American skinheads; they don’t know what previews are all about. Back in my day, 1993, we had REAL promos, the kind that feature Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic giving birth to flying babies that hit a dress-wearing Bobcat Goldthwait in the face and talking fish and placenta soup.
Now THAT’S how you hype an album with a song called “Rape Me.” But seriously, folks, In Utero is being reissued in September, to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and seeing as how it’s Nirvana best album, this video should be in the Smithsonian, next to a letter from God to Courtney Love reading, “IOU: sanity” and Billy Corgan’s testicles.
