THE REVIEW

Chris: "Kurt, I need to tell you something... Jason has left... he was tired of seeing his guitar and amp being destroyed every night."
Kurt: "Oh really!? Let him go to hell! In fact, I'll tell you something... we're the ones kicking him out... When I meet him, tell him he can take back those damn 600 dollars he lent us to record 'Bleach' and then he can go to hell too. We can do without him... I've always thought Jason Everman was a jerk. And then the perfect number for a rock band is three. Just three. And Chad, what's he doing? Is he staying with us or going back to play his snobbish jazz?"
Chris: "I think he's also eager for a change."
Kurt: "Mmmm... What did Mascis say about our invitation?"
Chris: "He says the Dinosaur tour is starting again... we need to find ourselves a full-time drummer."
Kurt: "Screw him too! Damn... is it possible that there's not a single free drummer in this damn city?"
Chris: "Dale will help us... he's always liked your songs..."
Kurt: "Dale is okay, he played really well on 'Floyd the Barber,' but he's already with the Melvins... I want a drummer all to ourselves. One who only thinks about Nirvana! We just recorded a great album and everyone's abandoning us!"
Chris: "Yeah... just now that Poneman has contacted Geffen... what the hell is wrong with everyone?!"
Kurt: "But wait... we'll make an album for Geffen only if they treat us like Sonic Youth."
Chris: "Okay." Kurt: "Let me smoke, Chris... take me out... let me have some fun tonight."
Chris: "The Melvins are playing tonight... Buzz told me a guy from Ohio is coming... He's 21... they say he's a talent... and he hits the drums like crazy."
Kurt: "What's this Ohio guy's name?"
Chris: "Gro-Groul... Groh, Dave Grohl!"
Kurt: "Ah Grohl..."
Kurt: "Put on the Pixies tape..."
Chris: "I heard they're breaking up... is it true?"
Kurt: "Frank Black has become a dictator now... he writes everything by himself. It's a shame."
Chris: "Yeah, a real jerk... because Kim Deal has great talent in songwriting... take 'Gigantic'... what a damn melody! Then that soft... sensual... instinctive... that magical orange Fender... I almost prefer her to Kim Gordon..."
Kurt: "Chris, on the next album, I want your damn bass to sound like Kim's."
Chris: "Okay boss. But then your Jaguar has to sound like Joey Santiago's."
Kurt: "At most, I can scream like Frank Black... but we need a great sound engineer for the guitars. Chris, who was the producer for 'Doolittle'?"
Chris: "Steve Albini."
Kurt: "Albini... when can we afford Steve Albini too?"
Chris: "Let's first make a 3 million copy selling album and then we'll call Albini!"
Kurt: "Ahahah, we're not the Pixies though... How many have we sold with 'Bleach'?"
Chris: "About ten thousand copies... but Bruce Pavitt says there's a record company in England that wants to release the album for Europe..."
Kurt: "For Europe I want a white vinyl... all white!"
Chris: "I like green... like the Green River album... But it will cost a lot..."
Kurt: "Then we'll make 2000 copies in white vinyl... and another 2000 in green! So when we're famous, these records will sell like hotcakes."
Chris: "Yesssss..."
Chris: "Hi, I'm Chris and the guy in the corner over there is Kurt... nice to meet you, Dave."
Dave: "Pleasure's mine, guys."
Kurt: "Do you like the Pixies, Dave?"
Dave: "Of course... Lovering is one of my favorite drummers..."
Kurt: "Listen, guys... I've had this riff in mind for a while... F - B flat - G sharp - C sharp..."
Chris: "But... this sounds just like 'U-mass' by the Pixies... are you kidding me, Kurt?!"
Dave: "Hahaha, busted! So that's where it came from..."
Kurt: "Come on, Chris, if we work on it, no one will notice... or everyone will notice... who cares... you, Dave, follow along... give me a nice powerful intro... let's mix it up a bit... no one will ever take a song like this seriously... it's just a stupid pop song..."
