"I want the angel" makes want to climb walls and shout. I probably listened to it 50 times in past 2 weeks. What a great tune and sounds so good acoustic! "I want the angel who doesnt shudder everytime I whisper 'girl it doesn't matter' " or "I want the angel who won't change into a four-legged monster in love with the strange" - are these the best line in rock'n-roll or what?

Subject: A great piece on Kurt Cobain
Jim Carroll performs a wonderful piece entitled "Eight Fragments for Kurt Cobain" which begins at 36 minutes, 20 seconds into this piece. It is a beautiful and stunning reflection on art, genius, and Kurt.

Also are very cool live versions of "I Want the Angel" which begins at 55 minutes, 20 seconds, and "People Who Died" which begins at 58 minutes, 30 seconds. This last one starts out with the volume low, due to the live recording, but the volume soon gets up to a good level.
