This Just In From Seattle Music History!!!


  • SEATTLE MUSIC HISTORY re-imagined in 8-bit!!  Wana Check out your favorite ’90s music videos from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden? Well look no further, grunge fan, because the ever-nostalgic Internet is here to rock your socks off NES-style. Fortunately for the flannel-wearing, Discman-listening, shaggy-haired set, YouTube channel Filthy Frackers has emerged with a gleeful grunge medley that’s as nostalgic in its form as it is in its content. Therein, classics like Nirvana’s “In Bloom” and Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy” are re-imagined as if they were part of a pastel-tinted NES soundtrack — all 8-bit synth sounds and lo-fi drum hits. The resulting medley is pretty hilarious, especially when Scott Weiland’s vocals on Stone Temple Pilot’s “Sex Type Thing,” are replaced with the grating squeal of a high-pitched synthesizer line.
