12. Nirvana — Negative Creep

Nirvana formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987 — Kurt Cobain (vocals, guitar), Krist Novoselic (bass), and Chad Channing (drums). Bleach was recorded in 1989 for $606 at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, released on Sub Pop. "Negative Creep" is track 7 — 2:55 at 84 BPM, raw and brief.

The date connection: On May 29, 1991 — 35 years ago today — Nirvana played a last-minute show at the Jabberjaw in Los Angeles. The night before, they had finished recording Nevermind at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys. In the audience: Iggy Pop, Jennifer Finch of L7, and — brought by Finch — Courtney Love. The track we play is from Bleach. The connection is to the night Nevermind was finished.

Placement: TikTok opener for the Moment in History segment. The connection is not announced on air — revealed in TikTok 4, posted Monday. The format mirrors the show's highest-performing TikToks: a famous thing with a hidden story inside it.

Nirvana — In Bloom

Nirvana — Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl — released Nevermind on DGC Records in September 1991. "In Bloom" was written by Cobain; the song concerns people who enjoy the band without listening to what the lyrics say. On 30 April 1991, Nirvana signed to DGC Records for an advance of $290,000, which directly financed Nevermind. Placement: the Moment in History connection is the date of that signing; not announced on air.
