I’ll take the hit on that one, because I’m pretty sure it was my editing that put in diluted. You know, watered-down.

You make a good point, Alex. I don’t know grunge either, and when I think grunge I think Nirvana, too.

Will/Jim, I think her whole point is that she doesn’t have “grunge cred” and was pleasantly surprised by how awesome Mudhoney was because she had no idea what to expect.

And for someone unfamiliar with Mudhoney beyond the fact that it was one of Cobain’s favorite bands and one of the fathers of grunge, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable expectation that they might sound a bit like nirvana. Though diluted? huh? what does diluted mean when referring to music?

Oh snap, Jim. Emily better respond or lose her grunge cred forever.

Emily,
Kinda sounds like you don’t know much about the band you’ve been sent to review - which is fair enough I guess. But lame comments like ‘I’ll admit, I was expecting a diluted version of Nirvana to limp onto the stage’ strikes me like you’ve read chapters 1-4 of Alt Rock 1988-1994 and given up bored? So Mudhoney come from the Pacific Notrh West and are old, so must sound like Nirvana yeah? Lame assed references to K Cobain. Yawn… you make a rock show sound like a chore…. give it up if you feel above it or don’t ‘get it’.
This is a rubbish, lazy, age-ist excuse for a live review.
Thanks
