![]() For those not around in the Nineties, that’s the show where big musical acts played acoustic renditions of their songs. It also means they’re bringing back Unplugged. You don’t need to see it to believe it.MTV’s latest reinvention scheme involved getting back to their roots, which means recreating their iconic Times Square studio for a revival of Total Request Live. This was not meant to be goodbye, but something else. But if Unplugged has proven to be one of our lasting memories of him, it’s due, in large part, to the warmth and clarity of it all: every scream, every chorus, every shift in mood or grain of humour between songs. Few songwriters or bands could have made that transition feel so natural, and Cobain-always one to keep the world at arm’s length, guessing-feels as close here as he ever would. From the Lennon-esque swing of “About a Girl” to the bloodletting of “Pennyroyal Tea” and the poetic thrum of “All Apologies”, not only did his work hold up fine without the noise and feedback-it shined. “Unbelievable”), Cobain’s originals here are every bit as chilling. “To say, ‘Hey, this is who we are.’”įor as otherworldly as the final moments and last gasp of Lead Belly’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” are (“Like a werewolf,” Neil Young reportedly said after first seeing its performance. ![]() “I feel like it’s this great mixtape they made for their fans,” Coletti says. Cobain had promoted underground artists he loved before, by famously wearing their T-shirts onstage (see: Flipper, Daniel Johnston and, under said cardigan that night, Frightwig), but “Oh, Me” had never been (and likely never will be again) played to a nationally televised audience of millions. Cris and Curt Kirkwood-of the influential but often overlooked Arizona psych-punk outfit Meat Puppets-sat in for luminous readings of not one but three of their own songs. Dave Grohl, whose outsized drumming had concerned Cobain and the producers ahead of the performance, played with brushes for the very first time, showing total control as the drums kicked in on Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World”. And yet, there was Krist Novoselic, swapping his bass for an accordion (his first instrument) to reimagine The Vaselines’ “Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam,” itself a parody of an old children’s Christian hymn. This wasn’t just the world’s biggest band at the moment, but one of its loudest and most dissonant, too. (“I was never going to talk them into ‘Teen Spirit’,” Coletti says.) Instead, they came armed with covers and deep cuts and guests that definitely weren’t in rotation. They’d upended the hopes and expectations of the network by electing to play anything but the hits, “Come As You Are” being one exception. Everyone had seen it.” But on its own, Unplugged remains one of rock’s great live albums, as well as a glimpse of Nirvana at their most naked and idiosyncratic. “We’d aired it so often that year it was a shock that the album sold so well. “We used it as a way to mourn Kurt on air,” Coletti says of the show. (The cardigan he wore, still unwashed since the performance, just raised $334,000 at auction, making it the most expensive sweater ever sold.) The live album wouldn’t see release until nearly a year later. It’s impossible at this point to divorce the recording from images of Cobain, from the mythology of the night. But we didn’t know at the time-we moved on.” “It should all still be sitting there,” Coletti says of the set. “And Tony Bennett the day after that.” Almost immediately after the band had finished, a production crew was tearing the set down, including the black candles and white Stargazer lilies that would later give viewers the feeling that they were watching a living funeral. “I think the next day, we did Stone Temple Pilots,” series producer Alex Coletti tells Apple Music. Recorded in New York on 18 November 1993, five months before Kurt Cobain’s death, it was the first of three tapings in three days that week for MTV. It’s worth remembering and repeating: Unplugged was never meant to be Nirvana’s final statement.

![]() ![]() It comes in the form of a precocious peer culture, where girls want to be thin at age 9 and seductive at 11 where children talk about "doing it together" at age 12, and where sexually transmitted diseases, drugs, pregnancy, and the threat of AIDS are all part of teen life in America. This assault comes in the form of an increasingly aggressive consumer economy that grabs even the very youngest children with alluring promises of popularity and success, if only they will buy the right brand of sneakers and stone-washed jeans. It’s common to feel like no one will understand or empathize. Especially with childhood trauma, one can often feel alone and isolated. In these cases, one of the key components is feeling heard, understood, and validated. They know the danger of crime, but they also recognize a larger and more insidious danger: the danger of our cultural assault on children. Rely on loved ones for emotional support and understanding. But they know the broader definition as well. They know the narrow definition of child abuse. So when parents express their fears of abduction, they speak symbolically as well as literally, poetically as well as statistically. They sense, in short, that their children are growing up in an increasingly menacing, predatory environment. When they look at the world from a child's vantage point, they see uncertainty, change and danger. They know that it is much harder to be child today than when they were growing up. But they also know something more - something that may escape the attention of the experts. These parents know that, in a few highly publicized cases, the dangers to children in our society take the form of child abduction, sexual abuse, and even murder. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Bitcoin protocol completed its third halving on May 11th, 2020. This will happen roughly 120 years from now. The block reward paid to miners will be cut in half every four years until there are on bitcoin left. The remaining 2.5 million BTC will be mined from now until the year 2140. There are approximately 18.5 million bitcoin that have been mined and can be included in the circulating supply. This implies that the odds of finding a result with more zeros requires more hashes. ![]() More difficult solutions have more zeros at the beginning. The difficulty is defined as the number of zeros that must appear at the beginning of the resulting hash. If blocks are being mined to slowly, the hashing equation will become easier to solve. If blocks are being mined to quickly, the hashing equation becomes more difficult to solve. This makes mining a block easier or harder based on the time it is currently taking. To make sure that block mining times are consistent, the Bitcoin protocol has difficulty adjustments. Each of these blocks are mined every ten minutes. On the Bitcoin blockchain, each block is 1 mb in size and holds an average of 3,500 transactions per block. All other nodes on the network will check the work of the miner that mined the block to ensure that it was legitimate. The Bitcoin network consists of nodes that can validate transactions, organize them into blocks, and solve the hashing function to mine a block and receive the block reward. Today, it is estimated that roughly 1% of the world’s population either owns or has previously owned bitcoin. After gaining popularity on the dark web, it took six years for bitcoin to eventually reach mainstream popularity when its price surged to $20,000 per coin in December of 2017. Ten months after the famous pizza transaction, bitcoin’s usage as a medium of exchange began to skyrocket as it was adopted by dark web users who wished to shield their identity while making purchases on the dark web. The first known instance of bitcoin being used to pay for a good or service happened more than a year later on May 22nd, 2010 when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC (worth approximately $41 at the time) for two large pizzas. Nine days later, the first transaction with bitcoin was completed when Satoshi Nakamoto sent bitcoin to Hal Finney, the creator of the world’s first RPoW (reusable proof-of-work system). Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin block, known as the genesis block, on January 3rd, 2009. Bitcoin remains the global cryptocurrency market leader by price and total market value.
