Kurt Cobain - Seasons in the sun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO4BF67pvsc&feature=related

I found a neat little gem here - Nirvana playing 'seasons in the sun'. The song is a wreck, of course. Kurt, Krist and Dave switch roles, and Kurt sings horribly off key while careening wildly around the beat on the drums. Krist's mastery of the guitar displays all the prowess and subtlety of a student who's been learning for a week.

But yes, I'm going to say it like the doe-eyed punk fan I am, and you all can just bloody well suck it up - there's a kind of noble grace that they play it with, technical noobery and all. It's more than a novelty, it's a genuine interpretation, and maybe yeah it'll never make it onto any album as long as a sane record executive exists, but in some way it's wonderful.
