Nirvana interviewed for ‘NME’ magazine in London. October, 1990. Photographer: Martyn Goodacre.
Kurt Cobain: “We’re finally coming out of the drains and saying, ‘we like Pop music.’ I like REM and I like The Smithereens and I’m not afraid to say that anymore. If we want to write a song like REM, we’ll do that, or if we want to write a song like Godflesh, we’ll do that.”
Krist Novoselic: “We’re into a montage of sounds. Most of the stuff we saw on MTV were all these schmoozy bands, and we thought, “Fuck it, man. Let’s screw some record company and be obnoxious bastards” because we were grossed out by what we were seeing.“
