All Apologies, by Nirvana.
This song is another one I associate with the first record store I worked at as a teenager. We definitely played In Utero too loud before opening and after closing for a while there. Picking the music to play in store was seriously a highlight of the shift, and oh, golly gee, we have to promote the new Nirvana CD, don’t we? Yeah, we played it pretty loud.
The Unplugged version of this is probably the canonical one in my head — that is the best Unplugged, right? I am eyeing the Meat Puppets songs from that album with hungry eyes. (Wait, should I play Hungry Eyes?)
Until today I was pretty sure Kurt sang “choking on the ashes of a runaway” which is pretty gross, but apparently it was always “of her enemies” which seems much more sensible.
No MIDI keyboard or software instruments at all on this one, but properly recording the riff on the electric and looping it in a way that works for like 85% of the song feels like a strong achievement for this one.
