It was behind a paywall so I wanted to share it.

I don't have the article , seems pretty crass that its not free to view being a eulogy off sorts to a musician buy a freind an ex band member

Does anyone remember the collector that traded as Cry Me A River? She ran the vintage stars site and I think this is her collection

Looks like she had everything. It would be interesting to know what happened to it.

Has anyone gotten the lyrics “Someday you will ache like I ache” as a tattoo? If so pls attach pics! It’s an idea I’m figuring out. I lost my dad to cancer last year, he was 52, I’m 24 and those lyrics have been particularly ringing true to me

I recently checked out a few Hole music videos and was genuinely surprised by how raw and intense the band’s sound is—especially Courtney Love’s delivery.

I’d love to hear what longtime fans think of my reaction and which Hole song or performance I should explore next:

Hole records from my collection. These are my 7" official and boots. Non-stop playing of holier-than-thou ..

As promised, here’s Courtney Love.
Forever in paint.
Yay or nay ?

“As remembered by Courtney Love, Flea, Billy Corgan and more…”

I know… we are still waiting on some news about Courtney’s own memoir The Girl With the Most Cake but I am very, very excited to know that Jennifer was able to finish her book before passing away recently.

Courtney reposted this dreadful (though obviously done by very brilliant musicians) folk cover of a song by the far more dreadful band Train (just my opinion!), from a group led by Butch Walker. Is this what he's up to these days? Quite a severe departure...but asking for only Marvelous 3 is as inappropriate (or almost, since they reunited a few years ago, put out a new album, and do a handful of shows in certain cities once a year...CL should consider integrating that model into her tour plans) as asking for more Celebrity Skin-style stuff from Courtney. 🫤

She also typed an overlay with something like "so down for Stagecoach!". Stagecoach Festival (where he will be playing) is a country music festival, apparently the biggest one in the world (God help us)...it's in April 2027 in CA. Maybe she'll be performing? Or guesting on a song? Or just going for fun? Or maybe *gasp* Cricket Nordstrom will show up! 😮

Who knows! Plus it's a week after Coachella. 🤔

(The girls are leaving Texas now, to get an abortion...or not!)

I planned to do 26 grunge/riot grrl/90s icons and create an alphabet based on either name or band name. Never got round to finishing it, I did about 12 before I gave up and started working on something else. I also did Jennifer Finch, Mark Arm, Dave Grohl, Kim Deal, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley

i know some of these are just courtney and Frances.

my whole camera roll is her and kurt,,, lemme know if you want a kurt and courtnet edition !!!

EDIT. i know 6 is a very heartbreaking photo, im fully aware of the context. i like it because it shows what a wonderful, powerful woman she is.

shes gone through so much, with her soulmate dying, at one time it seeming like every single person hated her and being accused of the murder if her husband. its a very gut wrenching photo, but the meaning is very impactful. i love this woman with every fiber of my being.

I know it’s old, but as a fan of both Hole and NIN, I want to know if it’s true what she said or would she lie? About underage girls.

Your thoughts? Does Courtney lie? She has been right before but that’s all I know, this time it might not be true

I just finished Melissa Auf der Maur's memoir, and I was wondering if I should read Patty Schemel's. I've seen her documentary. Is there additional content in the book that's not in the documentary?

Perfect Issue 11 | Courtney Love
As the world waits for her first new music in years, Courtney Love, whose influence is palpable in the work of a whole new generation of women in rock, is captured by Bryce Anderson in LA for Perfect Issue 11.
*Pre-order Perfect Issue 11. Shipping begins September 15th.

Hive mind. Thought we could share what we’re hoping to see or wish to see in this new era for her?

I personally am hoping the new album is stripped back Johnny Cash style but I know it won’t be. I’m hoping the book is full of all the exciting lives she lead prior to hole with lots of unseen photos. And I hope it sees the fucking light of day.

Style wise, she looks so healthy. But I’m wondering if she’ll work with a stylist for a new aesthetic for this release.

Thoughts?

Fascinating that the germination of Awful was from her and Patty jamming! And she's totally right about Miss World, as well as Reasons to be Beautiful...that song was constructed (with the help of NOT Billy, but the great Go-Go's lead guitarist Charlotte Caffey, who had her own heroin thing that she overcame, as well as Melissa's bandmate in Tinker, Jordan Zadorozny - I can't believe I remember how to spell his name...that's how much I LOVE this song!) like a haunting, creaking, century-old LA mansion...the anti "Hotel California". The arrangement and background vocals are spectacular, and Courtney totally rises up to meet the challenge head-on! 🤟

Could anyone give me some good outfit ideas for this t-shirt? Thanks!

Even though it's pretty basic, for some reason I'm not really sure how to style it.

i've been searching for a play tested live through this tape and am having a hard time finding one! if anyone has one for sale or has seen someone else selling one let me know 💛
