Like Iggy Pop, who once argued that “dressing like a woman” could never be shameful because, put simply, he saw no shame in the actual fact of being a woman, Cobain was man enough to sometimes be feminine. But Cobain’s influence on equality extended beyond the explicitly political, and well into the domain of fashion. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings is out November 13 via Universal.During an age where rape culture and misogyny is still disarmingly prevalent – if you need proof, see Brock Turner’s father calling the rape his son committed earlier this year “twenty minutes of action” - it’s galling to note that it’s been a full twenty-five years since Kurt Cobain was advocating teaching young men not to rape and dissembling gender binaries as he once explained, “The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. ![]() “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle” (Demo) ![]() “You Can’t Change Me/Burn My Britches/Something in the Way” (Early Demo) Montage of Heck: The Early Recordings track list While there are no unearthed Nirvana gems here, there’s plenty more to look forward to, including early demos of “Been a Son” and “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle.” As Pitchfork notes (and as the release itself implies), the album sticks solely to solo recordings of Cobain.

The A-side of that single is a cover of The Beatles’ “And I Love Her,” and the B-side is an acoustic demo of the multifarious Nirvana rarity “Sappy,” recorded here by Cobain on a four-track at home in Olympia, Washington, in 1988.
