	I forget where this was started, someone had asked about the Aussie
	release of Hormoaning so I'll mention it here...


	The "limited" (who knows, possibly 'limited to 100,000' or 'limited to
	as many as we can sell') Australian edition of Hormoaning does appear
	to be unique as compared with the Japanese release.  The vinyl copy
	has an entirely different cover, the group is pictured in a bathtub,	
	as does the CD.

	The other included tracks other than the Cobain EIHY and Aneurysm are 
	two tracks written by the Vaselines (one member Eugene Kelly now in 
	Capt. America), _Molly Lips_ and _Son Of a Gun_, Devo's _Turnaround_ 
	and _D7_ (Greg Sage), a great "demented-7" tune.

	The Aussie "Bleach" '92 limited edition comes in a bag with tour
	dates on it and poster.

	Also worth noting is a recent NME interview (21-Mar-92) with Chris
	Novoselic (...sell-itch) where he mentioned a similar future release 
	such as Frank Zappa's beat-the-bootleggers.  I'd like to see stuff
	such as 'Punk Rock' "Polly" studio/radio thing show up on it.  It's
	a really great version of Polly, Polly at the speed of sound...

	Lastly I'm interested in an early (autumn '86 collaboration between 
	Cobain and Dale Crover, the Melvins drummer, I think it was just a 
	demo..."Fecal Matter", recorded on a four-tarck.


          -< Danny Goldberg - Swan Song / Modern Records / Nirvana? >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    	I found this interesting; Danny Goldberg, the former VP for Swan
    	Song went on to his own ventures at Modern Records and now I see
    	a reference to a Danny Goldberg as manager of Nirvana in association
    	with Gold Mountain Entertainment.  Is it the same person?  I knew
    	someone by the name of Susan Silver was their manager but maybe
    	things have changed.  The Danny mentioned had a partner with a
    	sirname of Silva.  I would guess that Nirvana's single "Sliver" 
    	was named somewhat after one of them.

    	Just some more rambling.

    	- Jim

	Again I forget where this left off....never mind..so I include it
	again for the sake of confusion.

	Have a hangover...

	Kurt as stated many times in interviews that he enjoys both the 
	Breeders and Pixies...as well as constantly mentioning other bands
	who he enjoys.

	Has anyone else noticed Kurt giving everyone the finger in the 
	insert, I forget which (if all or not) formats?  I do recall it 
	being clearer in some formats...

	I had heard about the Killing Joke and "Come as You Are" comparison
	before, some reviewers have pointed out the similarities.
	
	I am curious about the Alien Sex Fiend "Smells Like..."  Also, an 
	old Creem magazine makes reference to "Smells Like a Hit Song" - 
	gee that's it the lyrics all come from back issues of Creem!

32017> I'm pretty sure they were engineered and produced by Craig Montgomery. 
	I know EIHY and Aneurysm were.

	I seem to recall him being involved with those two tracks...I think
	they were from pre-Nevermind and DGC conceptions, i.e., demos
	possibly while still under Sup Pop.

	Also, the UK "Wipeout" record has a couple of very close (if not
	final) mixes to Nevermind tracks, some of the 4 covers from Hormoaning
	(which was also earlier bootlegged as 2 EP 7"), I forget the other
	things about this,....

	As for the "Endless Nameless" track it's on the UK edition of the
	"Come as You Are" single along with the EIHY and Aneurysm.  The
	US version has two live tracks "School" from Bleach and "Drain You"
	both recorded in late October at the Paramount Theater in Seattle,
	the bands home coming I believe before off to UK again.
	
	I think only a limited first shipment of US Nevermind CD didn't
	have "Endless Namesless" making them "collectible".  I know of
	no vinyl having copies of Nevermind with it...

	Where are they now, Japan (I think there's another single out there)
	They been to Australia...something like 100 shows in the last 5 months!

	Needless to say Butch Vig (Smashing Pumpkins, at least one other I 
	should be able to recall -) is being pursued...

	Kurt is planning to get with his ex-girlfriend from Bikini Kill to
	release some songs they wrote when the were together.  Kurt and
	Chris appears on Mark Lanegan's(Screaming Trees)  solo, one track.

	Also, maybe him and Courtney will collaborate on some side projects.

>32047 Does anyone have a recording of Nirvana's Amsterdam jam ...

	I've yet to see or hear any comments but it has been advertised in
	various record collector rags.

32228> Here in Australia we got told that the EP was a Australian tour 
	exclusive...

	I believe the insert or something to that affect is exclusive, i.e.
	the package only.  Also, it's the only place I've seen vinyl edition
	availability.
