I'm thinkin' that Courtney still wrote most or all of her lyrics when she was with Kurt, but she got a lot of music/riffs from him. Kurt could write a catchy hook like nobody's business, and Live Through This is chock full of catchy hooks.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As you can see, I like Courtney's latest, even if it does have Linda Perry's stamp on it. The lyrics and vocals are pure Courtney and I still have love for her even if she is fucked up.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'm rediscovering David Sylvian lately. All I'd ever heard from him was Brilliant Trees and some of his Japan stuff, And now I'm really delving into it, with Everything and Nothing, Secrets of the Beehive, and Dead Bees on a Cake.
Damn. This is some good stuff, if you're in a mellow mood.
Also recently reminded that if you're royally pissed off, there's nothing quite like some Ministry to take you right over the edge into kill-the-world-rage.

Gandalfe, you know David Sylvian put a new album out recently called Blemish, yeah? It's very good (well, I like about half of it, put it that way).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Angus, you're not around nearly enough.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
btw, Hayden have you heard Yo La Tengo's version of "Can't Seem To Make You Mine"? Super-throbbing-reverb guitars.
From the WFMU show?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Kurt says: "How much uncalculated behavior do you see in rock concerts anymore?"
I think: "Nothing Courtney does is uncalculated."

Ann, that's a ferret.

Just don't ask me to look at her calculator.
