I must admit, I'm a pretty big fan of Nirvana. I know most of their lyrics, I could probably sing you the guitar part for every song on their album Nevermind.
So, it came as a bit of a shock to me when I heard that there was a 13th track on the CD. On mine, there are only 12. It ends with "Something in the Way." Then I did some research, it's a hidden track. But I can't listen to it on my CD. It's not there.
Apparently, the song "Endless, Nameless," is supposed to follow after "Something in the Way," and ten minutes of silence. But it won't play 10 minutes of silence, it just ends. So, I'm assuming either the CD players are stupid and hate me. Or, since my CD is newer, the song isn't on there at all.
Is there some secret I'm missing? Some magical word that will make the CD player keep rolling? Or I'm to be forever without hearing this magical missing track.

Wait, your CD won't continue at all? When did you buy it? How long did you wait after Nevermind finished?
There definately is a "hidden track" on Nevermind. I went trough a phase of not being able to fall asleep without a Nirvana fix in the headphones, but I saved Nevermind for specially bad nights because, although I love the album, the 10 minutes of silence after the nice and downer "Something in the Way" would lull me to sleep and then I'd be woken up by crazy drums and guitars.

I only bought it sometime last year. It's a newer copy. My cassette tape wore out.

Did your cassette have it?

Pop it in your computer, and go to the last track, and seek to the last part of the track.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
Leah- Nope.
raventh- I tried that on my computer, on my personal CD player, and in the stereo of my mom's car. No luck.

Do you have an old record player around the house? Try it on that.

The pirate who recorded your disc isn't into Nirvana.

You're suggesting that I put a compact disc onto a record player?

Pirate?

Have you ever just left it for ten minutes after the last song ended (or more than ten?)
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
It doesn't run after the song ends. The CD either just ends or starts over.

Yes! Absolutely.
And, you could try playing it backwards too.
Either way...it's just Nirvana. Probably sound just as good.

from wikipedia:
quote:Some CD versions of Nevermind feature a hidden track called "Endless, Nameless," which begins at the 13:51 mark on track 12 (about 10 minutes after the end of "Something in the Way"). The semi-improvised "noise" song was recorded after a particularly stressful take of "Lithium". It song was omitted from the album's first CD pressing due to a technical error. For unknown reasons, the song was removed from American pressings of the disc in 1994, and all subsequent American CD pressings have lacked the song.
Buy an import CD or an old one from the US

Don't mind BigBadBob inre Nirvana. He's still ticked off at Bach for adapting foreign*rhythms&textures and infusing them into German baroque with a freshly robust&dazzling contrapunctual technique.
* Like Italy and France, where they drink wine instead of good ol' German beer. Admittedly if God had meant for man to drink wine, grapes wouldn't hafta be mashed by stinky feet. So who knows what their music had been dragged through before Bach found it.

He's probably still steamed about that last fugue in the Art of Fugue... French Gallant... what a sellout that was. Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

Or from a pirate. Caution: If s/he isn't swashbuckling, s/he probably isn't a real pirate.
