"sos" - rihanna

"you on my mind has got me losing it"



kurt cobain would have been 40 today. i really wanted a suitable nirvana earworm to celebrate it and give me an excuse to write about him, but i've been getting tiny bits or fleeting visits from about 50 different nirvana songs and thus none of them count.

instead i got this. i couldn't even remember where this line was from for ages until it clicked with this song. somewhere in the murky grey area between sample, mashup and cover - a pretty enough girl with a mediocre voice and a riff everyone's sick of by now even though it comes from a classic song.

maybe there's a connection

probably not
