The year was 1988. Regan was president. Tight-rolling your Z Cavariccis was a fashion trend spreading like wild fire.

And Kurt Cobain was making a mix tape.

When I say he was making a mix tape, I don't mean he just patiently waiting by the radio with his finger on the record button waiting for the first three notes of "Never Gonna Give You Up" to come on. Rather than full songs, it's a mash of sound bytes — snippets of William Shatner, the theme song to "The Andy Griffith Show," and Cher.  Listen to Kurt Cobain's recently found mix tape here. (NSFW)
