Jon Stewart To Host Q&A Session With Former Nirvana Members In September

Via Babble

With its 20th anniversary just under a month away, there are no shortage of cool things happening to commemorate Nirvana's Nevermind. We've mentioned (a few times) that deluxe reissue and more recently the news that former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic will be performing ONE song from the seminal album in Seattle on September 20 (thanks to an anonymous tipster for the heads up), but our friend The Backstage Rider just tipped us off to news that totally ratchets up the awesomeness of this celebration.

SiriusXM has just announced that none other than JON FUCKING STEWART from Death To Smoochy... err, The Daily Show will be hosting a fan-fueled Q&A session with surviving Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic that the network will stream for two hours on September 24. The Q&A will also feature an appearance by Butch Vig, the producer behind Nevermind.

Stewart obviously brings an amazing level of depth and insight to anything he touches, so you're definitely going to want to tune in! 

Stream the new Foo Fighters album

Stereogum has a link to stream the new Butch Vig-produced Foo Fighters album “Wasting Light” here. Husker Du’s Bob Mould appears on what Stereogum calls the album’s standout track, “Dear Rosemary”. I caught Bob Mould solo in Brooklyn back in November, and I can assure you he is still great.

When I first heard that Dave Grohl’s former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic would be appearing on the album, it was a glimmer of hope that new Foo Fighters material could actually be good. Is it? Decide for yourself.

In the meanwhile, my friends at Magic Sundae have a podcast up highlighting Nirvana’s amazing career. Check that out here.

Wasting Light will be available 4/12.
