according to wikipedia, the theme of the party was....get this....suicide.

kurt would have probably been ashamed that she apparently owns more than 137 pairs of shoes & 200 pairs of jeans...even worse, that she wants to act in musicals.


i really loved the elle photos of her taken in 2006 where she was photographed in the pajamas that kurt wore on his wedding day:

he always said he just wanted a happy child. i dont think he woulda gave a shit wether or not she grew up to be some punk rock cliche.

and those photos were great.


i dont think that he would have wanted her to be a punk rock cliche or anything. idk, i just can't imagine him wanting her to be too involved with too much materialistic shit. but yr right, as long as she's happy.

yeah, those are fanastic.

really, i think hed be pleased she was considering something like acting in musicals.

ive always worried that shell one day feel as if shes living under a big shadow the world expects her to live up to. i think the most punk rock thing she could do, ever, is just be herself. shes her own person and doesnt deserve to be expected to live in her parents shoes.

i didnt get into punk rock because it was pretty. i got into punk rock because i hated almost everything about everything...i got into it BECAUSE it was ugly/noisy/brutal/"fuck you". i will not be ashamed if my child doesnt relate to that sorta thing, at all. matter of fact, if they did i might feel like a failure as a father.

still, glad i dont have kids.



i actually pretty much agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying here.

she has actually said in interviews that she wants people to wait to apply pre-conceived judgments onto her until she has done something valid w her own life.

notyourfiend 09.17.2009 03:49 PM

btw: here are some photos i found on google of her suicide-theme msi party

 



 



i remember wishing i looked that way when i was 16.

Toilet & Bowels 09.17.2009 03:51 PM

i'm inclined to believe kurt cobain lent a hand in writing the music for live through this, and i remain open minded as to whether he was murdered and who was responsible.

they were married in 92. pretty on the inside was released a year earlier.


still, i think that people make too big of a deal out of kurt influencing courtney. i mean seriously, they were married. i'm sure that there had to be some ideas that were exchanged. that's what happens when people live together.

my girlfriend is a musician and i've def helped her out with a couple of her songs. they are still "hers" - however, she's run them by me and i've made corrects and suggetions on lyrics/transistions etc.

i'm sure it was.

who cares, i love that album. so much.

Toilet & Bowels 09.17.2009 04:30 PM

i don't care, i'm just stating my thoughts. the song olympia for example sounds like a swipe of aneurysm for example.

notyourfiend 09.17.2009 04:35 PM

^ i was not trying to be rude.

i seriously don't care who wrote that album. i love it. live through this was the first alternative rock cd i ever heard. it holds a special place in my heart.

Toilet & Bowels 09.17.2009 04:54 PM

well i liked that record (LTT) a lot at the time regardless of who wrote it, i still think it's ok. i haven't listened to pretty on the inside probably at least 12 or 13 years, all i can remember is the opening line to the first song. i'll pull it out again tonight.

I'm not sure if I even have favorite Nirvana songs these days.

Occasionally, maybe twice a year, I'll spend a week or so sitting back listening over everything. Probably more nostalgia than anything (even though I still really enjoy the songs). I enjoy listening the progression that was taking place. From the punky teen-angst driven Bleach (Kurt's vocals are spectacular on that album...that scream still goes unmatched as far as I'm concerned), to the the slightly-more-pop Nevermind, to the "I'm angry at all the bullshit going on in my adult life" In Utero (Musically, they were obviously becoming a bit more experimental on that one), to the "fuck everything imma sing pretty for y'all 'cause I'm soon to be dead" Unplugged.

It's all good. Some songs are better than others (Sliver was never a favorite), but that Kurt...he could write some songs, man. Not the most unique band ever as far as the song writing itself was concerned, but Kurt had a shit-ton more charisma than most artists. He had a really interesting/unique way of presenting the music.

Nirvana is one of few bands I can sit back and enjoy watching live footage of.

They were the first band I ever took seriously ('94, same year Kurt killed himself), everything else I got into was a product of my appreciation for that band. Everything went crazy when I finally checked out Sonic Youth @ Kurt's suggestion.

lol these fucking courtney love arguments. i will always jump to participate int hem but i find it funny to all the cl detractors and critics... you are giving her what she wants, adding fuel to the attention seeking fire. talk is good, press is good, there is no such thing as bad press remember??? c an anyone even mention the name courtney lve without it sparking some kind of idiot debate whether shes a fit mother, did she do dope when she was pregnant, did she kill kurt, kurt wrote all her songs, no wait he couldnt have, could he??? i heard she hired el duce to wack kurDt for 50 grand, is she or isnt she smoking crack, how many abortions did she get last week, i heard she spent $$4309756305 of kurts money on bean's suicide party, HOW TASTELESS, which nosejob is she on now, her 11th??? puhleeeeze

oh yeah so the whole point of that was are we not over this bitch yet? i like hole but she has done nothing worthwhile in the last decade, save for provide us all with some reasons to point and laugh or shake our heads at

anyway these are not in a significant order

aneurysm
drain you
blandest
negative creep
i like swap meet a lot, and all apologies, and pretty much all of it

nirvana were just great.
