In Utero

Yeah, and I'm just reading it, and I thought like he was such an interesting character.

And we, of course, um, or this was actually after we had moved to the Pacific Northwest, so it was from the same state And I remember reading the Rolling Stones back to back about him and imagining how the music sounded, and then begging my parents to get In Utero.

And the first song that goes on is "Serve the Servants," and I was like, "Please, please, please sound how I think you should sound."

[laughs]

I, I got a guitar.

My life was over.

I, I love that so much, man, because, like, I've, I've been working on a, been working on a post about, like, kinda like my top five favorite records, and, um, In Utero is, like, probably, like, my favorite record of all time.

And "Serve the Servants," to me, is probably, like, one of the best openers.

But he literally took...

I think it was the In Utero tour.

Is that the guy from Police Academy?

Yes.

You know, the dude just every night was playing his absolute dick off.

So I love that you picked this one as our introduction because you could have gone with MTV Unplugged, In Utero, Nevermind, like all of these albums that are almost larger than life at this point.

But I do appreciate that, you know, we kind of get to appreciate kind of the B-side, more inaccessible version of Nirvana.

So shout out to you for doing that.

This is my first listen to this album, even though it's like just a mix of some live stuff, a compilation, some other singles.

We haven't brought up Nirvana, which is crazy on this podcast.

But I was expecting if we were, it'd be like one of those Nevermind or In Utero, one of those, but... no this is one that it's like you said perfectly summed up it's like not really super accessible not very known to i guess the general fan base or population but the people that know uh the people that are in uh you know in the weeds on this album will appreciate what it has um and yeah it's it's um song you get songs like hairspray queen what it where it's kind of like this interesting vocals that he's doing but um it's it's great songs also like downer was kind of like a fast fast-paced punk feel um so it's like they're kind of doing a little bit of everything on this um and it's it's uniquely them uh it's cool that they had like the artistic freedom that they had to this album and also even doing the artwork themselves.

So really cool.

So I was, I was jamming everything.

Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero, and Incesticide, and all of the little intricacies that everyone likes to try and find.

[laughs]

Yes.

But he literally took...

I think it was the In Utero tour.

Is that the guy from Police Academy?

Yes.

In 1992, the Peekskill Meteorite, a 27.7-pound meteorite, crashed into a parked car in Peekskill, New York.

In 1993, Nirvana's third and final album, In Utero, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200.

The broadly acclaimed album, which also topped the charts in Australia and the UK, featured such enduring tracks as "Heart-Shaped Box," "Pennyroyal Tea," "Rape Me," and "All Apologies." In 1999, Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails earned their first number one album when The Fragile debuted at the top spot, easily outpacing all other competitors in a market crowded with new releases.

The double album included the band's highest charting U.S. hit, "The Day the World Went Away," which peaked at number seventeen on the singles chart.
