Who will listen to another Courtney Love "comeback record"?

ILM in gluttons for punishment non-shocker

ILM

she can sing.

oh my GOD, can she sing

an asterisk?

courtney love's lyrics are in a different league to bob dylan's. not just because they're good - though they mostly are, even recently - but because dylan's are trite platitudinous hippie bullshit. most lyrics are better than dylan's. except joan osborne.

I just hope she stays clean and quiet, so that I don't have to witness people defending her addictions and resulting asinine behaviors.

I hope she doesn't kill herself, either.

can i get on that record too?

(granted, dylan's had his share of groaners)

what's wrong with this? malibu is a fantastic song!

And they was right!

i don't really care one way or the other about CL (esp. in 2006), i just always found that lyric lazy/throw away (but maybe that's what people like about it)

If someone can find the Good Morning America thing, post it.

i heard it for ages as "baby drive away from malibu" in the first chorus, and thereafter "baby drive away to malibu".

The eatery is called Hiro, and it’s synonymous with the way Courtney Love is feeling these days. She didn’t die. She became a hero.

WOW...

The lyrics are "defined, hummable and well-constructed"?

Count me in amongst the America's Sweetheart fans.

hahaha well it is fox. this was linked on courtneylove.com btw

Pacific Coast Highway still gets stuck in my head sometimes and I've only heard a short clip. Closest to something like "Malibu," if you haven't heard it.

In “PCH,” Courtney sings — maybe to her dead husband Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth —- “I’m up on Pacific Coast Highway/With your gun in my hand.”

*barf* still pimpin that corpse eh

You'd rather she become Mary Poppins?

But more pressingly:
"Should opera legend and ultimate New Yorker Beverly Sills’ memorial service be full of music or speeches? Should it be produced by the Metropolitan Opera, her manager or best friend Barbara Walters? And was Walters even her best friend?"

I think I'd rather she retire and raise her kid and stop clamoring for attention from the rest of us like some sort of needy-attention-whore-robot

oh, go whack off to your rachael ray rape fantasy

Me too! I hate when celebrities clamor for my attention rather than devote themselves to full-time child-rearing!

name one guy someone says "he should go raise his kid instead of having a career." about.

PS Frances Bean is like 15, dude. You'd rather she wait three years?

name one celebrity guy who's a single dad who's also a drug addict prone to violent outbursts

altho we all know lolz anyone who dares to criticize courtney is a mysogynist amirite

so a drug addict prone to violent outbursts should be spending more time with her kid.

No Shakey, that's pretty specifically "get back in the kitchen" type stuff

I see you didn't "get" the irony of me posting a picture of a barefoot woman (that people like to think is my "rape fantasy") in the kitchen

No Shakey, that's pretty specifically "get back in the kitchen" type stuff

*yawn* tell it to Patti Smith. Or Exene Cervenka. Or any of the women from the Diggers etc.

x-post
you can't see her feet in that pic

The difference there is I'm still interested in Courtney Love's music.

xpost Did those women retire to raise their children because you told them to?

hahaha seriously give us a fucking break

Meanwhile in teh Courtney'back stakes: another year, another Love record unlistened-to.

Did those women retire to raise their children because you told them to?

most adults manage to make perfectly capable decisions without my personal input. Unfortunately, Courtney does not appear to be such an adult.

and if Courtney has already been "attention-whoring" around for the past 15 years, a lot of good retiring NOW would do. That kid is basically grown. Maybe I could see your Patti Smith analogy if she was still a baby.

she needs to intervene now before Frances Bean ends up in a band with Sean Lennon and Wolfgang Van Halen

I think I hung out with my parents a grand total of 20 minutes from 15-18. Read in an interview somewhere, FBC is like a theater kid or something, she's not going in for that sort of thing.

The reason CL should stay away from making music is because it inevitably puts her in situations that her drug-addled persona cannot handle well. She should retire for herself first and her family second.

Either way, I totally look forward to hearing her latest music for free.

yeah that's a good point, don. i can't wait to hear the record, but she seems to fall off the wagon or further off it every time she makes one..

This is gonna be my album of the year for sure.

So it seems this should come out pretty soon. Anyone interested at this point?

Sure. What the hell.

i'm interested!!

I honestly don't see the point of her coming out with anything other than a fucking Bette Midler album at this point.

Standards, Vol. 1

It's been coming out soon for, like, two years, so why looking forward to it now?

um, which is to say: It's been coming out soon for, like, two years, so why STOP looking forward to it now?

I'm looking forward to it.

xpost: because now I can't quite get the Courtney-Bette thing out of my head.

lol wrong thread

Actually, not entirely.

where is RIP thread

whoever's courtney's got working for her has done an excellent job of killing every link to demos for "nobody's daughter" - all of my search efforts this morning has been for naught.

have been

still waking up over here...

Great new songs "You Know My Name" and "Wedding Day"

also, this lol exchange

Pitchfork: It does seem like everyone from Hole has been busy: I saw Patty's band Upset earlier this year, and I was at Melissa's venue Basilica Hudson in upstate New York last year, and I read Eric's book a couple of years ago.

CL: Melissa's a real avid Pitchfork reader. Patti knows every single thing that's still going on with Drag City and Razor & Tie and every little label. Brody Dalle from Distillers was telling me how there are lots of cool little labels, which I'm not up on because I don't read Pitchfork everyday. I read Jezebel a lot. I've tried to tweet you guys and kiss your ass, but the dude in Portland just doesn't like me. So I'm like, "OK, fine."

Pitchfork: Portland?

CL: Isn't it based in Portland?

Pitchfork: No, we're in Brooklyn and Chicago.

CL: Oh! I see, I see. I mixed it up with "Portlandia".

these are actually good, these new songs!

and lol @ courtney <3

I can't listen to it at the moment.

Blimey this thread is full of wonder, isn't it just?

I am way into this

Not that this is an especially tall bar to clear, but I'm betting this is the best new track we'll hear from a '90s alternative veteran this year
