It's fitting then, what with the melancholy remembrances of Kurt (and Krist Novoselic knocking himself unconscious via flying bass), that we'd kick off Spinner's inaugural edition of This Week in Music History with the grandmaster of grunge before revealing historical tidbits ranging from the Beatles and Marvin Gaye to Eminem and Metallica.
