______________________________________________________ The Nirvana Fan Club Newsletter - # 03 - June 11, 1998 ------------------------------------------------------ Introduction ============ With about 950 subscribers we are getting very close in reaching 1000 subscribers to this newsletter. Since the last newsletter there have been some minor updates to my site and a little news in the Nirvana bootleg trading world. Don't forget to read the details in the bottom of the newsletter for some basic info about unsubscribing and more. I didn't expect that I would have sent out 3 newsletters in less in that 2 weeks but I felt I needed to put out some news about Nirvana and my site. Site Updates ============ I haven't made that many updates since the last newsletter, but a few. A while ago I added a lot of new midi files. I believe I previously had about 40 midi files in a zipped file, but I now I have 139 midi files zipped, AND some rare re-mixes! So roughly I added about 100 new midi files :) Special thanks to Jeff Aumais for providing most of these. I also updated the movie gallery where I changed the URL to Mike Olson's site which contains a great movie gallery while my own is rather poor. I'm probably gonna update the actual movie gallery sometime in the summer. A lot of people have been complaining about my lyrics because they believe they were incorrect to many of the songs. First of all it is difficult to find the exact lyrics for some of the songs and they can be interpretated several ways. But I have updated the lyrics for Nevermind and they should be correct now. I will try to fix the other lyrics over the summer as well. If you believe you have correct lyrics for one of the albums (except Nevermind), feel free to e-mail them to me. Oh, the words in TAB books are not necessarily correct .. they are just written as to how the author interpretated the lyrics which is not always correct. I also added an explaination as to how the remove the Nirvana screens from your computer since many people couldn't really figure that one out. Finally I just updated my FAQ with a few new questions often asked. Nirvana News ============ First I want to kill some of the rumours that have been going lately about Krist Novoselic. He has *NOT* joined the band called 'Sky Cries Mary'. He is, however, a good friend of the band and he played on ONE of their songs on the SCM album "Moonbathing". This info was provided by Fongster who is affiliated with the band and their official website. I don't really know if its true either that Sweet 75 is reunited. Maybe they never broke up, only Yva said that .. well I suppose that's enough :) The Methodists have got themselves a domain, but the site is now up yet (at least not the last time I checked). Their offical site should be up soon though [ http://www.themethodists.com ] A brand new song by the Foo Fighters called "A320" ended up on the sound- track for the new movie "Godzilla". The song is really great, actually, and I believe you can download it on Brian's great 'Howling Wind' web-site [ http://foofighters.tierranet.com ] A studio version of the song "You got no right" and a studio version of "Junkyard" should apparently be out there. Hopefully it will be surfaced soon and get around among the collectors. The same source should have found the complete Nirvana performance of the mysterious "Old Age". Also, two new videos by Nirvana have just surfaced - 2/14/90 San Francisco, CA and the 8/24/90 Seattle, WA show. I haven't seen these yet but I am definitely looking forward to getting them. Misc Stuff ========== Tad Doyle of the band 'TAD' recently informed me that his band are performing live in the US on the following dates: JULY 10 Jimmy Z's in Everett, WA. JULY 18 OK Hotel Cafe in Seattle's Pioneer Square. AUGUST 7 Mount Tabor Theater in Portland (Squeeze TV grand opening PDX). So if there are any TAD fans out there you can catch them live at those dates.
