If I'm remembering correctly I first heard "Ono Soul" on a sampler CD I got from BMG Music Club. It struck me as a really special song, and it lingers with me. Around that same time, I borrowed Doolittle from the library, and likely dubbed it to tape. (Sorry, Pixies.)
I wanted to capture some of the sorrowful frustration found in a number of Nirvana songs. This tone was an underpinning of many songs of the grunge era, and was captured well on the MTV Unplugged series, not only by Nirvana, but by Alice In Chains and 10,000 Maniacs, as well. I am a fan of that series, but I wanted to capture an album track. I wanted the full spectrum of the song.
A downer of a playlist, so I wanted to end it kind of optimistically, even though there is sort of a melancholy aftertaste to "Hail To Whatever..."
