On Saturday we headed to the SiriusXM studios on 49th Street to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, and the start of our own midlife crisis. (How was that twenty years ago?)

Jon Stewart And Nirvana Members Team Up For Nevermind Anniversary
With Nirvana's Nevermind turning 20 this year (it's just one year older than Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean), there's a lot of nostalgic reminiscing going on. Next month, on September 24th (the original Nevermind release date), Jon Stewart (who used to work for MTV! Remember?) will host a Q&A with Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, along with Butch Vig (the album's producer).

In Case You Weren't Feeling Old Enough: Nirvana's Nevermind Turns 20 Soon
Nirvana's Nevermind album was released 20 years ago this September (that baby on the cover is also around 20 years old now)—and SPIN is celebrating the anniversary a little early with a tribute album. You can download the entire thing right here, it features covers by Meat Puppets, Amanda Palmer, Titus Andronicus, Surfer Blood, and more. Hey: Nirvana's Nevermind album and downloading MP3s (and MP3s!)... all things we didn't have 20 years ago.
