More pocket-sized knowledge gems for dat azz! If you're a NYC/BK denizen (or resident of any metro area), we know you'll believe when we say how many times these books have saved us during that long wait on the train platform. You may not be an angst-ridden teenager anymore, but it doesn't mean you can't still appreciate Nirvana's In Utero. Gillian G. Gaar (or "G-Cubed," like her friends call her) breaks down the before, during and after of In Utero, detailing Nirvana's effort to "recapture their punk rock ethic." She leaves no stone unturned, even pointing out symbolism and meaning in the imagery-laden music videos from the album. Damn, these little books are addictive. 105 pages.
