“The one rock star that that makes me know I’m shit is Polly Harvey. I’m nothing next to the purity she experiences.I like knowing that there’s someone who is a better guitar player,
who had it down lyrically and kicked my ass all over town.”

Lots of love from Courtney for Jennifer Finch (August 5, 1966 – July 18, 2026)
who lost her battle against brain cancer last month.
“In my 62 years I can think of nobody more loyal or honourable. A true friend, who also gave me the security of having one house where I was safe. She was part of one of the most important bands in history.“

Last night Echo & The Bunnymen‘s guitarist and multi-instrumentalist
WILL SERGEANT posted this message on the band’s Facebook account.
“From @ Will Sergeant. Evening all my old friend Courtney Love has spilled the beans,
so I think I can now. Been working on her amazing new record. Been a trip, she gave
me complete artistic freedom. Loved every minute, autoharp, electric mandolin, Bulbul
Tarang, baritone guitar plus layers of 12 & 6 string guitars.”
Courtney Love on Tik Tok about the album she already teased this past summer,
the day before Sergeant‘s announcement : “It’s the longest record that’s ever been written in the history of rock, so it better fuckin’ be good, no filler. I don’t do “collabs” — man, I hate that word! However, I have co-written songs with some people on this album. [REM’s Michael] Stipe mentioned our collaboration to The New York Times. I fell down weeping hearing his voice — it’s better than ever! I thought I knew the outcome, but I’m still the grasshopper while Michael is the sensei. There are others I can’t mention; I didn’t intend for any collaborations.
I did ask PJ Harvey to come back — I wanted just one of her great iconic Stones guitar riffs. We have a relationship; I’ve endorsed her over the decades, but she chose not to respond to me. So I wrote her about how fucking rude that was. Her manager tried to smooth things over, but it’s not okay — she hasn’t played rock music in 100 years! Her first five albums are great; after that, she ventured into art space (though I do love the Last Living Rose, which feels like a John Donne poem with… WTF? A tuba?.
Kurt Cobain‘s infamous widow COURTNEY LOVE released 4 albums
with Hole and one solo LP, named America’s Sweetheart 20 years
ago, in 2004.
She also played in 7 movies. Trust me, she’s a great actress.

Forever LOVE.
Courtney was born on 9 July 1964. Happy 60 to the celebrity skin.
A couple of days ago COURTNEY LOVE and MELISSA AUF DER MAUR
who played bass for 5 years with HOLE alongside founder/singer Courtney,
got together in a studio for the first time in 24 years.
It happened in London. Photos appeared on the Instagram account
(@_fromhertoeternity) of website From Her To Eternity that celebrates
the contributions of women to music, and is curated by Love and longtime
rock journo Julie Panebianco.
No further details or news about what they were actually doing
there, but cool to see them back together on the 5 photos below.
