SPIN NEVERMIND

This morning I walked into the office to hear my manager playing Spin Magazine's Nirvana Nevermind tribute album, which they're giving away through their Facebook page to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the seminal album.

Specifically, I walked in to hear the wonderful JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD's version of Lounge Act. Funny, because listening to her two previous albums, and in particular her most recent release Tell Me, I had thought her dark, minimalist country/rock songs could have been very well interpreted for a grunge band (and so it seems, vice-versa).

So first, listen to it, as it's great:


Second, GO DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM, also featuring Foxy Shazam, Meat Puppets, Amanda Palmer, The Vaselines and Midnight Juggernaut amongst others. It's only available until July 25th, and you do have to Like their page to get it, but I reckon it's a small price.

Third, go buy Jessica Lea Mayfield's TELL ME, as it's brilliant. Then buy her first album, WITH BLASPHEMY SO HEARTFELT.
