Off-Topic: Rock Out

And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no....

Pretty appropriate

considering the recent news of Courtney Love losing custody of Francis Bean.

Anyone ever buy into the theory that Jurt Cobain wrote this whole album? I generally don’t buy most or any Kurt Cobain conspiracy theories.

Yeah he probably did write at least parts of it

Song structure is very Nevermind-esque a big departure from earlier Hole. They wrote a bunch of songs together. The lyrical patterns and repetition are very Cobain-esque and doesn’t appear on Celebrity Skin or Pretty on the Inside (had to look up the album name, I almost called it Teenage Whore…it’s been a while since I’ve thought about Hole).

I doubt he wrote the entire album. I imagine Love wrote the songs and then Kurt doctored them up by tightening up a guitar hook or lyric.

Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.

surprising

never would have taken you for a fan john

a lot of the hole lyrics sound a ton like cobain, and love hasn’t done anything since that album (other then be a public embarrassment)………i’m buying

Hole had a major album since then

Though that one was mostly written by Corgan.

this song is just raw emotional despair.

also

Also, early-model Courtney Love (before the drugs ate her alive) was really freaking hot.

I’ll say this for Hole…. They are the one all-female band to come along in the last couple decades to not sound like any or all of Bananarama, The Go-Go’s, or The Bangles.
