I sandwiched a couple fuzz between some glitch. Might not be to everyone's taste, but it sure was fun.
Next time I hope to wedge a few more layers of fuzz between each layer of glitch.

The only pedal not visible in the video is a Boss RE-20 set for stereo spread and light delay. I only
press the "twist" function on the RE-20 twice (what restraint!).
Over time I hope to post more such short clips. Stay tuned!

But doesn't all music impersonate all other music? It's about vibrations leading to sympathetic vibrations.

Mmm.... maybe Nirvana were more directly an impersonation of The Replacements and Squirrel Bait.
Novoselic said Nirvana were nothing new, Hüsker Dü already did it. I agree. And Kurt always said that Surfer Rosa completely changed how he wrote songs. (Riot grrl bands also influenced them around that time.) Check out Bleach, Nirvana's début, it basically sounds like Scratch Acid, minus a few songs like About A Girl.
I'd be very surprised if they were inspired by Squirrel Bait, as they were completely unknown outside of Kentucky, pre-Slint-fame, as far as I understood the Slint documentary (Breadcrumb Trail). Of course, they were punks, and into punk, so it's not completely impossible. But, personally, I don't hear any Squirrel Bait in Nirvana. Not really any Replacements either. I guess you can email Novoselic and ask!

Yes, this was my point, actually.
P.S.
In case anyone thinks I'm ripping on Nirvana, I think Nirvana are great! I don't like the sound of their records (except for the brilliant Albini 20th anniversary In Utero mix, which is absolutely fantastic), but I love their songs.
