Kurt Cobain Latest News

Articles of 2009 - #1 Sonic Youth
With less than 48 hours left of 2009, I can finally reveal (to this lonely audience of pretty much myself) my favourite article and interview of 2009. Given the opportunity to interview Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo - twice, once on the phone and once in person - might as well be the climax of my writing intentions.

(Photo: Tim Broddin) Daniel Johnston is known mainly for two things: having Kurt Cobain as a famous fan, and having spent a good portion of his life dealing with schizophrenia. His immense catalog of songs — tender, honest, direct and weird, often all at once — somehow gets short shrift. Take “I Had Lost My Mind,” a brief, wildly catchy tune from Is and Always Was (...
The 9's Have It: Historical Reasoning Why 2009 Will Be A Great Year for Music
Inspired By Tim Duffy 2008 was a shit year for music. With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet…falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe...
