A Deeper Listen

Seattle DJs Remember Nirvana’s 'Nevermind'


Listen Later

Nirvana’s 'Nevermind' came out in 1991, when KEXP DJs Riz Rollins and Marco Collins were already playing influential roles in Seattle radio at KCMU and KNDD, respectively. Larry Mizell Jr. talks to Riz and Marco about what it was like being at ground-zero when the album came out and took over the world.

They share stories about debuting "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on KEXP (when it was KCMU), the food fight that got Kurt Cobain kicked out of his own party, and finding 'Nevermind' CDs for sale in the French countryside. Plus, how it feels to hear Nirvana's music now.
