#From The Banks Of The Wishkah

[musicalimagination]

Does anyone know anything about this Poster I got it today from a record store I traded in some vinyls for it. From what I can gather it’s a Nirvana “From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah” Promotional Poster from 1996-7 the only other one of these that I’ve seen was cut at the date part and placed to show the Release Date better, but this one seems to be intact and no damage whatsoever.

If any one Knows much or anything about this Poster I would really appreciate the help, I tried searching it up but most of not all are only the top portion of this poster

Nirvana - Drain You 1991

"Drain You" is a song by American rockband Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist, Kurt Cobain. The song was released as a promotional single in late 1991 for their second album, Nevermind (1991), and also appeared as a b-side on UK retail editions of the first single from that album, "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

A live version, recorded on December 28, 1991, at Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California, was released as the second promotional single from the live compilation, From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, in 1996. This version peaked at number 44 on the Radio & Records US Alternative Top 50 chart. Another live version of the song, recorded by MTV at the band's Live and Loud performance on December 13, 1993, at Pier 48 in Seattle, was released as a music video on MTV2 in November 1996, to support the release of the From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah album, even though it was a different version that actually appeared on the album. No known footage exists of the Del Mar Fairgrounds performance.

Cobain cited "Drain You" as one of his favorite compositions, telling David Fricke in a 1993 Rolling Stone interview that he thought it was as good, if not better, than "Smells Like Teen Spirit". "I love the lyrics, and I never get tired of playing it," he said. "Maybe if it was as big as 'Teen Spirit', I wouldn’t like it as much." The song appears in the video games Rock Band 2 and Rock Band Unplugged.

"Drain You" received a total of 74,1% yes votes! Previous Nirvana polls: #118 "The Man Who Sold the World".

This song imagines that in 1990, Nirvana decide to stay with Sub Pop for their second album, 'Sheep'. They have already recorded one batch of songs with producer Butch Vig at Smart Studios and return to finish off the album. 'Opinion' which debuted as a solo acoustic performance on the KAOS (FM) radio show has now been recorded as a full band version.

I created this version as a long time Nirvana fan who would have loved to hear a studio recording on this song. I used a combination of Nirvana rarities cover band To Boddah and Steve Welsh's amazing covers as the basis of the instrumental. I cannot urge you enough to check out the rest of their work on Youtube.

I used AI to recreate Kurt's vocal and I also used AI to create backing harmonies by Dave (in this timeline Dave would still have joined Nirvana as it was inevitable by this point).

While ideally I would liked to have worked on the instrumental myself recreating period appropriate amps and voice models, I decided not to let perfect be the enemy of good. I layered the drums with a Steve Albini sampled drum kit, which while not true to the 1990 timeframe I felt was close enough.

I used reverb impulse responses from Smart Studio and copied the EQ curve from the original Smart Studio sessions to help get a little bit closer.

Overall I aimed for a sound between the Smart Studio Sessions and the Devonshire mixes of Nevermind, leaning towards the latter as I believe that's where the overall sound would have went.

The album cover is an unused design from 'Muddy Banks of the Wishkah' by their legendary long term art director Robert Fisher (whose incredible work chronicling his time with Nirvana can be found on Instagram as 'nirvanabucket'.

While it is doubtful that Nirvana and Robert Fisher would ever have met had they not signed to Geffen (meaning that Sub Pop art director Lisa Orth would have likely still been designing their covers), his work is such an integral part of Nirvana's visual identity that I decided to bend the timeline a bit to include him.

"I'll slit your neck with a razorblade"

"I'm leaving, and I'm never coming back"

"What the fuck asshole why did you blow up my phone so many times?" "Cause I was outside your house waiting for you... sorry I'm pretty used to getting blown off" "YEAH well I thought about it..."

"You can't and don't carry me, not physically, mentally, or financially"

"Shut the fuck up bitch"

I know better than to allow anyone to speak to me that way. I have self-esteem, and I'm not the one being an asshole

... next thing you know, you're in the middle of Aberdeen at three in the morning questioning why you're even helping someone who seems to care about you but doesn't have an ounce of respect for you, nor your feelings, nor your time...

But you still care, because you see stuck, somewhere, they're is still a soul inside them...

So you let them in

Feed them

Harbor them

Care for them

... Narcan them.

The cycle repeats OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN

THIS OPIOID CRISIS IS SOMETHING I NEVER BEGAN TO COMPREHEND, until day 2 I moved to Washington

... the 49th worst state for substance abuse and addiction treatment

This is why I moved here ; I feel compelled to make a change, but there needs to be a line drawn between my life and the purpose of my work... except it is EVERYWHERE

You can't even begin to imagine, from the rich to the poor... it's literally harder to bum a cigarette in this state than to score some meth or herion

On the plus side

I was questioning ... just how much my addictive personality was going to influence me

So purposely, I moved between safety and absolute poverty; as a way to motivate myself never to go back to the way I used to be

I've been around it so much in "safety"

I don't even want it

I have no craving

I have no fixing.

I'm not 10+6 anymore

I've got a future

I want more

You'll never find me washed up on the muddy banks of the WISHKAH or the ocean shore

But as a population

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WASHINGTON

DO MORE

Do it now

This is some of the worst poverty and addiction I've ever seen and your government has no better solution than to bus the "junkies," veterans, and immigrants to TENT CITIES right below the overpasses surrounded by IMMENSE beauty

From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

Well, . . . it is not exactly on the muddy banks. Kurt Cobain was here. So was I. That is how I got this picture of this English holly in this awkward situation within Kurt Cobain Memorial Park, on the muddy banks of the Wishkah River. I wrote about other pictures from there at my other presently discontinued blog, ‘Felton League’, a bit more than a year and a half ago. This particular picture…

Nirvana - From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah

Wishkah è il nome del fiume di Aberdeen (Washington) lungo le quali rive bazzicava l’adolescente Kurt Cobain, passando, stando ai suoi racconti, notti insonni sotto lo Young Street Bridge e sfiorandone le rive fangose. Da qui lo spunto colto da Krist Novoselic per intitolare il secondo album pubblicato postumo dalla Geffen Records, una raccolta contenente il meglio disponibile delle esibizioni…

Kurtの命日は、彼のお誕生日と同じようにLyraにとってはKurt Cobainを偲ぶ日。 毎年この日は、Nirvanaの曲を和訳解説して、毎度、Kurtの素晴らしさ、やばさ、優しさ、自分勝手さに触れ、死んだはずなのに隣で話してるかのような錯覚に陥る。親しげに話しかけて来るKurtは、少年のようだし、笑顔が魅力的。そして、たまに老人のように憔悴し切っている。 「彼が今、生きていたら？」 皆んな同じ問いにぶつかりイマジンする。あり得ない話なのにね？ ただリアルに声が、歌詞が、ギターが胸に今も「こんなに」突き刺さるのだから、生きていても糞まみれだろうと輝いていたと信じてる。 信じてるのよ、Kurt。だからお休み。 もう痛いことも痛いことをする者もいないよ。 今日はKurtのお気に入りの曲を選んだよ。又あの笑顔が蘇る。 (more…)

Music Collection Update #2

From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah (1996) on Vinyl

While browsing a record store I came across this gem of a record which was released on October 1st of 1996, and features live performances from the band from 1989 up to 1994. The vinyl version of this collective record comes in a double LP format, and a fourth side full of exclusive content. This record includes live performances of songs such as Been a Son, Smells like Teen Spirit, Negative Creep, Silver and Lithium, and a 1989 version of Polly. The records name itself was named after a river that runs through the late legend Kurt Cobain’s hometown of Aberdeen, Washington. Personally I loved the record front to the back, the performances included on the record are some of my favourite live performances from Nirvana. A must listen!

"underneath the bridge, the tarp has sprung a leak..."

[kurtheavenly]

Used to tell my Ma sometimes

when I see them riding blinds,

‘Gonna make me a home out in the wind.’

In the wind, Lord, in the wind.

Make me a home out in the wind.

I don’t like it in the wind

I’m gonna go back home again,

but I can’t go home thisaway.”

–“I Was Young When I Left Home” , Bob Dylan

“Aaaaaaaay! Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!”
