...show-biz duo. It starts where their public lives do, in a crisply directed sequence with the two preparing to go onstage: the camera zeroes in on their hands, as Martin coolly downs a Scotch and Lewis fusses with his props.

On a more intimate level, Side Man also explores the way that Gene’s passion for jazz rules and ultimately...
...people still listen to Nirvana on the regular basis they once did back in grunge’s apogee. With this new release, Nirvana enters the playlist on radios and CD players, reminding us of the seductive power of the gloomy, angry, angsty Seattle heyday. There’s a reason grunge and Nirvana became huge—they were a highly talented rock band and this album makes sure we don’t forget the band’s contribution to music...
