| Lead Belly – Last Sessions, Volume One (1953) | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:33:56 | |
Martin Douglas dives into Lead Belly's Last Sessions. The blues aren’t limited to a specific era or place — if you’ve got the blues and a strong enough voice, you can sing the blues. Kurt Cobain just happened to filter the blues through a muddy strain of punk rock.

| Aerosmith – Rocks (1976) | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:42:53 | |
Dusty Henry dives into Rocks by Aerosmith. This album might not feature Aerosmith’s most recognized songs, but it demonstrated the power of hard rock to mainstream audiences, solidifying the band’s legacy. This album also represents a cautionary tale: For every high, there's always a comedown.

| Beat Happening – Jamboree (1988) | 19 Jun 2024 | 00:57:18 | |
Martin Douglas dives into Jamboree by Beat Happening. Hailing from Olympia, Washington, the trio lived and breathed the punk rock ideology.

| Wipers – Is This Real? (1980), Youth of America (1981), and Over the Edge (1983) | 12 Jun 2024 | 00:42:01 | |
Dusty Henry and Martin Douglas dive into the three albums by the Portland band Wipers, the band with the most entries on Kurt's list (unless you count "anything by Kleenex"). Greg Sage's melodic punk riffs not only inspired Nirvana, but also other Northwest bands before them, including The Melvins and Mudhoney.

| Mudhoney – Superfuzz Bigmuff (1988) | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:48:14 | |
Dusty Henry dives into Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney, whose debut represents the culmination of ideas that we now categorize as “grunge.” Nirvana picked up the grunge baton from Mudhoney and carried it to the finish line.

| Bonus: Hiro Yamamoto on Soundgarden, Forging New Paths, and the Circles of Power | 31 May 2024 | 00:39:12 | |
In this special bonus episode, we break format away from Kurt Cobain and Nirvana and look at the legacy of Soundgarden from the lens of founding member and original bassist Hiro Yamamoto. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Soundgarden’s formation — starting with Yamamoto and Chris Cornell in Yamamoto’s basement. While Yamamoto was there from the beginning, he left the band of his own accord just as they were about to have mainstream success. He went on to perform with bands like Truly and Stereo Donkey and was inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame in 2022. In conversation with Dusty Henry, Yamamoto looks back on those early days with the band, representation in Seattle’s 80s punk scene, and the lessons he’s taken from a life in (and out of) music.

| Roundtable: Breaking Punk | 29 May 2024 | 00:45:01 | |
Dusty Henry, Martin Douglas, Albina Cabrera, and Janice Headley discuss the idea of "punk" through the lens of four bands. Each of them provides a distinctive approach to punk both as a genre and as a mindset. Nirvana is named as one of the core bands of 1991, "the year punk broke."

| Black Flag – My War (1984) | 22 May 2024 | 00:30:49 | |
Larry Mizell Jr. dives into My War by Black Flag. This proto-punk sophomore album upset the fast-paced expectations of hardcore by slowing it down, complete with all-out screams confessing deep-seated emotion. This sound set the precedent for Seattle's famous grunge sound. Hosts: Dusty Henry and Martin Douglas Support the podcast: kexp.org/cobain See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| The Shaggs – Philosophy of the World (1969) | 15 May 2024 | 00:31:48 | |
Martin Douglas dives into Philosophy of the World by The Shaggs. As prophesied by a palm reading, this band of sisters from a small town in New Hampshire would become famous. However, nobody could have predicted the band's "intriguing" sound — or whether they would actually have a fun time performing music.

| 30 Years After Kurt's Death | 05 Apr 2024 | 01:00:50 | |
In this special episode, marking 30 years since Kurt's death, we recorded a roundtable "love letter" at the Kurt Cobain Memorial Bench in Viretta Park in Seattle, where Kurt is said to have written some of his lyrics. We'll also hear from contemporary bands and music industry workers about the impact that Kurt had on them.

| Anything by Kleenex (1978-1983) | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:25:50 | |
Martin Douglas dives into the legacy of the Swiss band Kleenex, later known as LiLiPUT. Kurt's list doesn't specify a particular album from Kleenex. Their entire discography is just that good, marrying the worlds of Dada art and punk rock.

| The Raincoats – The Raincoats (1979) | 27 Mar 2024 | 00:23:12 | |
Janice Headley dives into the legacy of The Raincoats, whose self-titled 1979 debut album inspired both Nirvana and the ‘90s riot grrrl scene.

| The Slits – Cut (1979) | 20 Mar 2024 | 00:35:56 | |
Martin Douglas dives into Cut by The Slits (written in Kurt's list as "Typical Girls," the lead single from the album). They were one of the very first punk bands made up mostly of women, and their style incorporated elements from reggae and dub. Despite their innovation, the members of the Slits had to withstand a brutally misogynistic culture for it to actually mean something in the long term.

| PJ Harvey – Dry (1992) | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:28:00 | |
Roddy Nikpour dives into Dry by PJ Harvey. She’s a grunge pioneer carrying on Kurt’s spirit through her own ongoing legacy. She was one of his close peers — so much so that Dave Grohl has invited her to fill in for Kurt to perform Nirvana songs. As part of Women's History Month, our next three episodes will cover some of the other women-fronted bands on Kurt's list, including The Slits, The Raincoats, and Kleenex.

In the inaugural roundtable of our series, Dusty Henry, Martin Douglas, and Albina Cabrera dive into Kurt Cobain's list.

| The Vaselines – Dying for It (1988) | 24 Jan 2024 | 00:18:29 | |
Janice Headley dives into Dying for It by The Vaselines (listed as Pink EP). By the time Nirvana began covering their songs, The Vaselines had broken up.

| The Pixies – Surfer Rosa (1988) | 17 Jan 2024 | 00:29:15 | |

| The Stooges – Raw Power (1973) | 10 Jan 2024 | 00:24:07 | |
Martin Douglas kicks off the series by diving into Raw Power by The Stooges. It's no surprise this is the first album on Kurt's list considering the muscular drumming, the dirty bass, and the way the guitar sounds like it’s on fire — all key elements for Nirvana's sound.

Martin Douglas dives into Meet the Beatles! by The Beatles. In this episode, we pay tribute to the ever-connected thread of musicians across time and space.

Dusty Henry revisits 1996 with the album 3 'n the Mornin' (Part Two) by DJ Screw.
