Did you know I’ve never really listened to Nirvana? I bet you didn’t, because you (probably) don’t know me. But you do know that I write for the finest music site in the history of fine music sites, so it must seem a little weird that, you know, my entire knowledge of Nirvana extends to some stray singles and approximately one-and-a-half listens of In Utero. It’s all true, though.
Know what else is true? Ra Ra Riot are going on tour this fall. Another true fact: they are also releasing a record called The Orchard on August 24 via Barsuk (TMT News).
Now, you folks go see Ra Ra Riot on their fall tour, I’ll keep listening to Nirvana (why didn’t I ever realize how good In Utero is?), and we’ll all keep winning in our own way.
