Grunge News

Last update: November 7, 2009 - 1:28 PM I have to admit, I've been enjoying the hell out of the Current's so-called "Flyin' the Flannel Weekend," a grunge retrospective timed to the 20th anniversary of Nirvana 's "Bleach." It's a pretty hokey name, and some of the banter has been close to unbearable .

Next week's Rock Band 2 updates feature three tracks to celebrate the 20th anniversary release of Nirvana's debut album "Bleach", which will be re-released; this special edition release includes an previously un released live concert recording from 1990.

Those tracks will be celebrated on the upcoming Greatest Hits, a compilation of the group's biggest smashes, including "Learn to Fly," "Best of You" and "Everlong." The album also contains two new songs: a rugged rocker called "Word Forward" and the new single "Wheels," which the band debuted on the lawn of the White House over the summer and which ...
