 When Courtney Love sold a quarter of her shares in Nirvana’s back catalogue to a music publisher, she promised to “remain very tasteful” and “take Nirvana places it's never been before.” So we’re very glad to see she’s kept at least half her word, as their song Breed has turned up on the soundtrack to a computer game, Major League Baseball 2K7.
It’s not as ridiculous as it seems though: 2K Sports who made the game have a history of making good soundtracks for their games, and this one sees Nirvana played alongside the Stooges, Pixies, Wolfmother, Tapes 'n Tapes and The Specials.
Well, we sure hope Kurt Cobain was a baseball fan, because Nirvana's "Breed" has turned up on the soundtrack to 2K Sports' Major League Baseball 2K7 video game, due out February 27.
But the Nirvana song isn't the only interesting thing about the MLB 2K7 music. Following in the footsteps of their Sub Pop-sound tracked hockey game, quality hip-hop-based basketball one and the Matador-friendly MLB 2K6, the 2K folks have assembled a stellar collection of tunes for MLB 2K7, including songs by the Stooges, Pixies, the Specials, Les Savy Fav, the Thermals, Death From Above 1979, the Walkmen, Tapes 'n Tapes, Bishop Allen, and Wolfmother.
While the album isn't out in shops, you can stream it by clicking here, or get the game from the States.
Is it taking advantage to have Nirvana in a game, regardless of who's also in it, or are people just too precious about the whole thing? |
