Lull Magazine – “Nirvana: From Aberdeen to Nevermind” – Issue #6, August 2002 – Turkish Edition

Description:

Lull was an independent Turkish culture, arts, and music magazine published in the early 2000s, focusing on alternative music, cinema, literature, and popular culture. Through in-depth interviews, album reviews, and cultural commentary, it explored international music scenes, underground movements, and the creative lives of influential artists, offering Turkish readers perspectives beyond the mainstream.

This Turkish-language issue, dated August 2002, is the sixth issue of Lull and features Nirvana and frontman Kurt Cobain on the cover. The main feature traces the band’s early days in Aberdeen, Washington, the arrival of Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, and the making of the influential albums Bleach and Nevermind. The issue also follows Beck Hansen’s musical journey, from his bohemian childhood and early experimental recordings to Golden Feelings and Mellow Gold. Other articles explore Happy Mondays’ rise during the Madchester scene and their turbulent history, alongside the cultural impact of the 2002 Türkiye Hiphop Ödülleri event on young people from working-class neighbourhoods.

Further coverage examines Saint Etienne’s electronic pop sound through their album Finisterre, and the atmospheric post-punk influences on Interpol’s debut album Turn On the Bright Lights. The magazine also looks back at the Welsh origins of Manic Street Preachers, their early period with Richey Edwards, and the background to the compilation album Forever Delayed. Combining grunge, alternative rock, electronic pop, and hip-hop culture, this issue reflects Lull’s eclectic editorial approach to music and youth culture in the early 2000s.
