I didn’t get much done this month because I’ve been focused on work and other online projects, but nonetheless I have other things to talk about.

First off, I have moved the blog to the Bear platform as I find it a much better fit at the moment. I just need to have a fast, reliable and easy way to get my thoughts down and this really seems like the perfect spot. I will also be using status cafe for smaller updates (and whatever one-liners I can post) and will add the cute little widget to the site at some point.

I properly added music to the site! You can find a little playlist on the end of the “About A Girl” cassette (and in another song on a slightly hidden spot on the main tab). Edit: It is now located in the footer of the site. I was a little hesitant on the approach but since this is a Kurt Cobain site I am only adding songs from the Montage of Heck soundtrack and other solo versions of Nirvana songs. I think the acoustic songs fit the vibe of the site well.

I do have plans to restructure the site a bit to try to make it easier to navigate and aim for better accessibility. I have been playing around with things behind the scenes though.

A couple of music-related mutuals have been added to the exit (“All Apologies”) page! Fritzi (thanks for the shoutout btw!), who runs Bohemian Sultriness, is a Beatles/John Lennon fan (like Kurt) and has a wonderful site full of music reviews (and other media) to explore. Also Bree, who owns Snowibunni, is a big fan of guitarist Paul Landers from Rammstein and writes many fangirling and thoughtful posts about him and fandom at large. Both left lovely messages in my guestbook.

One of my motivations in starting this site was to archive Kurt Cobain/Nirvana-related old web stuff. During one of my Nirvana searches I came across a couple of Internet Nirvana Fanclub screenshots:

The site still exits, but it’s here now.

Lastly, I don’t use Spotify anymore (as of Jan 2025), but I saw someone mention that volt.fm has a roast feature and I couldn’t resist:

And what’s with your most-played songs? Half of your top ten is basically the same Nirvana songs over and over again! You’re about one more “Dive” away from actually going for a solo swim in the shallow end of the musical pool. “Sappy - 2013 Mix”? Is that the version you cry to while bingeing on snacks and reminiscing about every bad decision you’ve made since high school?

Peace, love, empathy
