Good times.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now getting slagged at AMG: Courtney Love's latest.
Gee, it kind of looks like maybe Kurt did ghost write most of Live Through This.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Now playing: Hec-u-mix, which is great fun.

Does Knut ever post around here these days? I know he's large with the Sarah Harmer love, and she has a new album coming out tomorrow. She also has a little acoustic set on CBC Radio3. (Warning: that link is to an all-Flash interface that is death to dial-ups, and generally kind of annoying.)

It's been a while. I think he's been real busy with his Dogtown Review.

I would have been really angry at you for suggesting this ten years ago, and would have given you a full dose of 15-year-old grrrrl feminism.
But now? Especially if you listen to In Utero and then Live Through This and note the common lyrical obsessions?
Um, yeah. I wish it wasn't the case, because I still love what Courtney seemed to represent a decade ago, but yeah.

Ten years ago, Courtney got the benefit of the doubt from me. Not so much anymore. Though I still like reading her writing and interviews.

No, really?
(Forgive me for being so snarky. It's a reflexive action where Ms. Love is concerned for most Seattle-ites.)

I used to like reading them, but now... I just end up feeling sad for her, and especially sorry for her daughter.
I do think she probably wrote "Rock Star," ("When I went to school/in Olympia") because it's so much more Courtney's obsessions than Kurt's. Everything else on the CD I'm not so sure about.
But to be fair? I still remember Hole's appearance at Lollapalooza '95 as being one of the best performances I ever saw, and certainly the best festival performance.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I disagree -- there's a lot of thematic and musical consistency between Pretty on the Inside and Live Through This. Of course there's some influence -- they were married -- but I hear a lot more about being the freaked-out new mother of an infant on LTT than I do on IU, for example.
She was really good, and even Celebrity Skin had its moments, but now she's behind the times and out of control, and all the bullshit Ryan Adams-y "being fucked up brings you artistic greatness" nonsense has boomeranged on her, as it does on everyone. That doesn't mean she didn't do her own best work.
