Some crazy guy from the states

) Profile

Cheers!

I'm BrianSchweitzer, aka BrianFreud on the site and in IRC - otherwise known as the guy who says lol a lot.

I'm into soundtracks, Nirvana, R.E.M., Led Zeppelin, Mozart, Tori Amos, jazz, and just about anything else except for gospel and country... ...except for Willie Nelson, who I learned to like - blame my freshman roommate playing him 24/7 for that one.

I play the alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, as well as the recorder.

Current Projects

Frequent Searches

New English Releases not yet voted on

My Favorite Music of All Time

  • In no particular order... Just about any release of Mozart's Requiem, though I much prefer the Sussmayr version to any of the others.
    • Only exception is the 1945 Berlin, Germany Nazi recording, which just sounds incredibly overpowered, and lacks finesse.
     Thomas Newman's soundtrack to The Shawshank Redemption 
    
    • The perfect work for a rainy day - or a day you wish it would rain, and need your spirits lifted. (I've also pretty much memorized every line of the movie)
     Toto's expanded score for the Lynch version of Dune 
    
    • Even as a soundtrack fan, this is one of the few soundtracks I can put on repeat play all day, and still enjoy it at the end of the day. Just a very powerful work. This version is missing Brian Eno's Prophecy Theme, which is the one negative, so sometimes it's nice to alternate this version with the shorter version, which includes that track. (And yes, I do have this movie memorized as well.)
     Aphex Twin's Milkman, on the Girl/Boy EP 
    
    • First time I heard this track, I started laughing so hard, I nearly crashed my car. It's still able to make me break out laughing all these years later...
     Mindless Drug Hoover's The Reefer Song 
    
    • Not nearly as well crafted as the Aphex Twin song, but again, one of the few songs that can always make me smile.
     Probably a few others I'm forgetting at the moment... :)

Correct Song Identification

Jesus * Sunbeam - We've standardized on "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam"

Where Did You Sleep Last Night - We've standardized on "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" (With the question mark)

Heart-Shaped Box - Except for a few release titles where other reasons exist, titles and tracks all ought to include the hyphen.


The "Fun" ones... 

Ok, first, Sad, Seed, and Sappy. These are among the oldest, most renamed songs. Then let's also throw in "Verse Chorus Verse", just because it's so intertwined...

In 1988, Kurt released a demo tape he'd made, which he titled "'Mellow, 4-track shit". It had three songs on it: Sad, Polly, and Seed.

(Actually, he released a few tapes, one which was just the three songs, one had 4 other songs, and one with all 7 songs)

Now if that were the end of it, things would be easy. Problem is, Kurt didn't label the tape. And, he liked to change the names of songs. However, he did refer to the songs, naming them (as quoted in the officially licensed book _Come_As_You_Are_). There also exist a few early setlists with some of these names on them. Thus, it's possible to track 2 of the songs through their various name changes.

  • Sad: Identified from early setlists, it was later retitled Trophy for a short while in November 1989. The first known use of "Trophy" was a setlist from 11/9/1989. The last known use for that title was 11/22/1989. It then was soon after renamed as "Sappy". (On the setlist, by the way, recall that these were Kurt songs, not Nirvana, so it would be listed as a "new song" for Nirvana at the time, even if not necessarily for Kurt himself). Each version had somewhat different lyrics, and thus probally ought to be properly identified by the correct name for the time. So...
    • Prior to Nov 9, 1989: Use "Sad"
    • Between Nov 9, 1989 and Nov 22, 1989: Use "Trophy"
    • After Nov 22, 1989 (and as listed on all official releases): Use "Sappy"

      • Untitled III
      • Verce Chorus Verse
    • Sometimes also confused and mislabeled as: Verse Chorus Verse
  • Polly: Lyrics never really changed, but the name did change over time. Initially, Kurt supposedly named it "Hitchhiker". When he referred to it later, it was "Cracker". However, whenever he wrote it in a setlist, and when it was released, the name "Polly" was used.
    • Mislabels I know of: (None)
  • Seed: Seed is the most difficult, as it was rarely played. It was never really a Nirvana song - more a Kurt song. The only time it ever was released was on the box set. Because it wasn't a Nirvana song, but Krist and Dave were trying to include at least some early stuff (the lawsuit with Courtney was blocking them using some early material), they included it, but weren't sure of the title. They ended up just using a title from one of the bootlegs. This one is basically only easy to ID because copies of Kurt's tape are themselves available, allowing people to narrow down which three songs he meant when he referred to "Seed, Sad, and Cracker". Now, from above, we already know which songs are Sad and "Cracker", which just leaves one song which can possibly be "Seed". We then can use the lyrics and tune from that track to ID it again on those few times it was played live.
    • Mislabels I know of:
      • Don't Want It All
      • Misery Loves Company
      • Unexpected
      • Spectre
      • Maiden Circle
      • Look For Company
      • The Extreme
    • Sometimes also confused and mislabeled as: Sad / Molly's Lips
  • Verse Chorus Verse: Because the name was reused more than a few times, it was always difficult to narrow down just what rare song was which, and which rare song Kurt actually ended up giving the title "Verse Chorus Verse" to. The box set release identified one song as VCV, which allowed a lot of the other confusions to fall away. Most of the time, though, (including on the No Alternative CD), people were referring to Sappy, but calling it VCV.
