Nirvana Celebrates 20th Anniversary of 'Nevermind' With Deluxe Reissue

From Rolling Stone Music:

Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind – the epoch-defining record that Rolling Stone has declared the Number One album of the Nineties and the 17th greatest album of all time – will be reissued on September 20th as a deluxe 5-disc edition. The expanded set celebrates the 20th anniversary of the record's original release with an extensive collection of previously unheard recordings, rarities, b-sides, radio sessions, live performances and an unreleased concert presented in its entirety on DVD.

As of yet, Universal has not released a full track listing for the deluxe edition. As it turns out, even band member Dave Grohl isn't quite sure what will turn up in the set. "I mean, as far as content and releases and stuff like that, honestly, it’s like I’m the drummer again. I’m the last one to know anything," Grohl told Rolling Stone. "It’s almost like a wedding anniversary – something that someone reminds you of about a week beforehand, and then you panic and buy flowers."

Even still, Grohl hints at other Nevermind anniversary surprises down the line. "I wouldn’t doubt it if something very special happens – we have a few things up our sleeves. I can’t really say anything yet. But you’ll see. It’ll be fun."

New Foo Fighters Teaser

I don't know about you, but I'm really excited for some new Foo Fighters. Their last studio album, the personal favorite Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, came out in 2007. Many songs from that album ended on my personal chart. And I'll be honest, I didn't really pay attention to them until Best Of You came out. That was some time in the year 2005. To this day, I consider myself to be a big fan of this band. I have charted 19 of their songs, two of which went to No. 1: the aforementioned Best Of You stayed on top for 4 weeks and their most recent Word Forward, from their Greatest Hits compilation, spent 3 weeks at the top. Word Forward also ended up at No. 40 on my 'Best of 2010 Songs List'.

Dave Grohl and company recently twitted that they were done recording the new album, which is still yet untitled, but they've put a 30-second teaser on their website of what should be the first single. Listen here for an energetic "these are my famous last words" from Grohl.
