Letter courtesy of Sub Pop via The Stranger
This might be the funniest blog post I’ve read all week, but of course, it was completely overshadowed yesterday due to the Macklemob craziness. Sub Pop recently received an email from a student at Virginia Tech asking if Nirvana would record a video for them wishing their university a happy homecoming so that this student could win a homecoming election.
The letter itself is too funny, but also raises some questions for which I have to list out here:
- NICE stationary, but not very appropriate?
- Virginia Tech – there’s no way you haven’t found out about this by now, are you slightly embarrassed?
- Does this girl actually know who Nirvana is?
- Would Nirvana ever do something like this?
- The quoted prompt that she wrote for Nirvana to say in the recorded message. HILARIOUS.
- Did she just really refer to Nirvana as a “her?” Last time I checked, Nirvana was a group consisting of only men.
- The line “It presents great publicity for them…” pretty sure they don’t need that.
- The list of performing artists followed by “three famous NFL players.” Sounds appealing.
- More importantly, Nirvana doesn’t exist anymore. And as The Stranger mentioned in their article said girl would have been negative one-years old when Kurt Cobain died.
It’s too much! Well since Sub Pop figured the girl didn’t really know what she was talking about anyways, they decided to send her a video back giving her exactly what she wanted.
