After reading - or just seeing - a lot about Kurt Cobain this week, I woke wanting to listen to some Nirvana. And, on the way to work, I did. The only two things of Nirvana I own on CD are the greatest hits that came out in 2002 and their seminal Unplugged performance.
I took a drive with their "greatest hits." And, something occurred to me as I heard oh-so many songs whose lyrics I know by heart: their songs are short. Seriously. I never thought of their length until today. This isn't a criticism. This is merely an odd observation. Their songs are the length they need to be. And, after listening to these songs for over half my life, I gotta say, they still work for me.

Gearing up for Joe Wright's Hanna tomorrow, I listened to that awesome Chemical Brothers score. Her theme is fantastic.
