"Bleach" re-issued

On November 3rd, Sub Pop will be re-issuing Nirvana's Bleach for the 20th anniversary of the grunge progenitor disc. Bleach holds a special place in my heart because it was the first CD I ever bought. I remember opening it up for the first time and looking at the liner notes and thinking how disgusting the band looked with their stringy, greasy hair and the bleach-spotted crotches on their jeans (as if they were literally pissing bleach because they were so grungy and feral). I listened to that disc hundreds of times, and now, nearly 20 years later, it lies tattered and beaten in my CD rack, just like the tattered and beaten youth of Nirvana in 1989. I won't purchase the re-issue, because that just wouldn't be grunge-like.
