nirvana - singles

released: 1995
label: geffen records

once upon a time there was a band called nirvana (or nirvarna depending on who you talk to). no one really knows where they came from. rumor has it they just walked out of the woods somewhere in the pacific northwest and they continued to walk until they came upon a body of water where they had to stop as none of them were the best swimmers and they only had one pair of floaties. so as a sign of fellowship they destroyed the floaties and decided to set up shop near the water. at first it was just a shanty town. then a village. no one could think of a name for this destination until one day two others appeared from out of the woods. one of the men was tall and lanky and had the last name of a body part. his companion had hair that appeared to be made out of steel wool and he rarely talked but when he did it didn't seem to make sense to the others ("like stee. moanin' ludlow.). these two spent a week at the encampment and as they were leaving the tall lanky fellow yelled out "see ya around!" before disappearing back into the trees. the three looked confused. "what's a seattle?" one of them said.

and the rest is history.
the original three started a band a called it nirvana.
they released some music.
and this is some of that music.
