Celebrity Buzz Kurt Cobain will forever remain an iconic figure in the music world. Sometimes, it's hard to remember just how young the musician was when he first started out. You can see the rest of the photos here. (via reddit.com)
Music Buzz Or rather, overcomplicating it needlessly. I guess I'd rather look at a nice pithy chart than read another article about '90s revivalism.
Nirvana is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Nirvana.
Maybe it's because Brown savagely beat up Jay-Z's friend and protege? Here's a compilation of Jay-Z conspicuously not reacting to Chris Brown's performance at the VMAs. Definitely on Team Hova with this one.
No. Stop that. This was at the VMAs. There were trampolines. You've done enough damage to our present, Chris Brown…leave our past alone.
Celebrity Buzz Frances Bean Cobain has shown herself to be very photogenic in some high-fashion photo shoots lately. She obviously got her good looks from her dad. (via americasbestblogger.blogspot.com)
The cello duo that brought you “Smooth Criminal” and “Welcome To The Jungle” are back, and this time they're covering Nirvana.
To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of the release of Nevermind (which will make certain of us feel older than God), SPIN Magazine put together a Nirvana tribute album called Newermind. And it's free. All you have to do is friend SPIN on Facebook. Among the notables: Meat Puppets cover “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” The Vaselines do “Lithium” and Titus Andronicus provide a rendition of “Breed.”
Henry Rollins owns in such a gentlemanly and erudite fashion, even using the phrase “besocked.” This was from the Dinosaur Jr. concert at Terminal 5 in New York City. Full video of the interview plus photos of the concert over at Brooklyn Vegan. (via brooklynvegan.com)
Music Buzz With Nirvana's Nevermind turning 20 this year, we started talking '90s bands on Twitter and Turntable, and compiling a list of those most missed. Whether they broke up, created a side project, the lead singer died or they've been pressing on as a lesser version of their former '90s self, here's a list of 20 bands we'll always fondly associate with that era gone by. (I could have listed so many more.)

A major exhibition of photos and 225 artifacts from the band’s short history.
Music Buzz To mark the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, Jared Leto posted this never-before-seen video on JaredLeto.com. Further evidence of A.) Just because it's a tribute, doesn't make it right and B.) Jared Leto has not had anyone around to help curb his bad decision-making since pre-Panic Room. (Via Guardian)
Celebrity Buzz Christina Aguilera blowing the lyrics to “The National Anthem” hath wrought a new meme. There's a template at the bottom, so get to mutilating those songs and posting them in the comments!
Culture Buzz Settle down on the couch with an adorable little grunge-buddy. Next up, I want a Mudhoney Hello Kitty line. (From, via.)
Listening to this Russian street busker's eerily accurate rendition of Nirvana's “About a Girl” is like hearing the ghost of Kurt Cobain.
An interactive map that charts the brutal landscape of metal music, where you can listen to tracks ranging from punk to black metal to grunge. It's incredibly thorough and easy to use. Here there be monsters of rock.
Someone's finally gotten around to mashing up Nirvana's “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Michael Jackson's “Rockin' Robin.” It's equal parts catchy and disconcerting.
Well, this tops my list for unexpected mashups for the week. Who'd have thought Nirvana was so danceable? Ole!
Got 'em.
Houston was photographed outside Tru Hollywood Nightclub in Los…
