Here’s a quick look at some of the headlines that caught my attention this past week.
Nirvana - Sappy

One of my favorite Nirvana songs, which I’ve been playing a lot. For me, it’s a great song to explain those times when you just feel trapped in life. Whether it’s because of a relationship, work, or just life in general. It helps me feel less overwhelmed. Although, I think it’s rather obvious that this is about a girl in a confined life, but I let it work for me anyways.
Remembering Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley
This past Saturday, April 5, marked a sorrow day for many folks.
If some of you don’t recall, it was the day that Kurt Cobain (in 1994) and Layne Staley (in 2002) left this world.
Nirvana Is Sold Out Again…
Antimusic is reporting that Nirvana’s breakthrough hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit” will be used in upcoming Right Guard ads for their new line of spray and roll-on deodorants entitled “Teen Spirit”.
Will this exploitation of Nirvana’s music ever end?
This is just another reason why Courtney Love is a horrible person.
Courtney Love Chooses Roles For “Heavier Than Heaven”
So apparently Courtney Love is now a casting director after stating her decision for the actors to play herself and Kurt Cobain in the upcoming flick about the Nirvana frontman.
Love stated that she wants Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson, The Notebook) to portray Kurt and Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, Ghost World) to play herself.
FYI: Nirvana
Let’s do an FYI on one of the big bands, since Unplugged in New York finally came to DVD a few weeks ago.
- Kurt Cobain meets Krist Novoselic in 1985 through The Melvins.
- Kurt and Krist go through a bunch of drummers and band names over the next couple of years.
