This is pretty incredible. Kathleen Hanna performs a monologue — accompanied by twinkling piano! — about how she inspired “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at Our Hit Parade at Joe’s Pub last week. This is a wonderful bit of storytelling, and to top it all off, she performs the song as well as her Bikini Kill classic “Rebel Girl”!
This really is fascinating, regardless of your feelings about Hanna, Bikini Kill, Nirvana or the nineties (and awesome if you have positive feelings about any of them). Ten minutes in a blink. As Pitchfork notes, there’s a “cameo” from Hanna’s Celebrity Husband, if that matters.
