In one of our finale episoded Jedidjah suggested that we might start a Kurt Cobain Album Club as a follow-up, discussing Kurts list of favorite albums. It sounded like fun but also like a lot of work. We are very happy that the great guys of KEXP came up with the same idea and decided to actuallty do it. The first episode just dropped and can be found right here:
