Courntey Love's Sunset Marquise, Tribute To Pete Doherty

The blogosphere's reporting that the former Hole singer/(songwriter?) has penned a tribute to rocker Pete Doherty's excesses for her not-so-anticipated album Sunset Marquise.

In recent weeks, Love's popped up in the news, but here at Stereogum we're having a hard time separating fact from fiction: Vacations with Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss? A baby with Steve Coogan (whatever happened to that)?

She is looking fit though. Let's hope it's yoga and not drugs.

 

Meanwhile, I'm sure you've heard Courtney's sold a 25% share in Nirvana's publishing rights to former Virgin GM Larry Mestel, promising the music will be used in a tasteful fashion. (What, not even VW ads?!) As long there are no more doll parts.

total sell out. That Nirvana album is going to get owned by the record company soon if she keeps snorting those cocaine.

This is horrible. This is going to get worst than when the record company decide to butchered nirvana second album and had a tug of war against steve albini.

Let's hope it's drugs and NOT yoga. Drugs make CL. Yoga undoes her.

All right, kids. In Utero was the third, not the second album. Also, the album was remixed because the band, after hearing the first mix, thought the vocals and the bass were too low.

one of my friends supposedly heard "smells like teen spirit" in a toyota add the other day. i haven't yet, so i can't confirm, but if so it's a dark day for nirvana.

That Jack White commercial is disturbing....Coke = Love? Coke is the 'right thing to do'? Er, ok.

Oh looky. Courtney has tried to latch on to another messed up boy rocker for some publicity. Only this time, instead of shagging him, she's singing about him. Pathetic. Courtney, hon, you're over 40. Act your age.

i can't imagine a world without courtney, for better or worse. "if she floats, then she is not a witch like we had thought/a down payment on another one at Salem's lot". look at kurt getting all prophetic.

save baby federline.
