Courtney Love Offended By Kurt Picture
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Performances, Alternative, Rock,
Courtney Love stormed off stage in Brazil after a fan showed her a picture of Kurt Cobain.
The Hole singer stopped her band's set and threatened to "beat the f**k" out of the offending crowd member for holding up the picture of her husband - lead singer of Nirvana, who killed himself in 1994 - as she played at the SWU festival in Sao Paulo this weekend. Upon seeing the picture, Courtney yelled, "I don't need to see a picture of Kurt, a******, and I'm going to have you f***ing removed if you keep holding that up."
Referring to her daughter with Kurt, Frances Bean, 19, she added, "I'm not Kurt, I have to live with his s**t and his ghost and his kid every day and throwing that up is stupid and rude and I'm going to beat the f**k out of you if you do it again. You weren't f***ing married to him, I f***ing was."

Michael Stipe Cured Snow Patrol Writer’s block
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Alternative, Rock,
Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody was lifted by Michael Stipe while suffering writer's block.
The singer and songwriter of the "Chasing Cars" group was writing "a lot of rubbish" as he struggled to come up with the words for the band's sixth album Fallen Empires, but he was given a "boost" when the REM singer praised some of his tracks.
"I'd try to write but was frantic. It's like pulling a thread of bulls**t out of your head and then you write a lot of rubbish, and then clarity ascends. But I couldn't find any clarity and then just had to stop trying. It became a very dark time for me. Even the thought of trying to write made me feel like I was about to have a panic attack. I started phoning people because I was at the end of my tether. Then Michael Stipe came to the studio to listen to some of the songs I'd already done and he loved them. He gave me such a boost of confidence. I managed to get to the heart of the matter - that this record is about home, the empire of childhood and the naivety of that falling away into adulthood and forgetting how blissful it is as a kid. Once I got to that I could write again."

VIDEO: Miley Cyrus Performs Nirvana in Concert
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Videos, Alternative, Covers, Rock,
Miley Cyrus delighted her concert-going fans when she announced during her Ecuador show that she’d be doing a special song. “I want to be able to do the music that inspired me and made me want to be here on this stage tonight,” she announced.
“This song is something I always sing with my little brother… so this song is also for him.” And the crowd went wild, screaming with hysteria in anticipation of…perhaps some light country music fare? Maybe something from Miley’s childhood (such as it was), a ditty from the Jewel or Sheryl Crow songbook? Or perhaps a country standard by a legend like Patsy Cline?
Nope. Miley’s band began playing the opening strains of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” instead, a grunge rock anthem that was released in 1991, one year before Cyrus was born. Watch the performance in the video above.

Dave Grohl: Not Everyone Loves Glee
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Alternative,
“I watched 10 minutes [of Glee]. It’s not my thing,” Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl doesn’t want any of his songs to be re-classified as “showtunes” any time soon… or, ever. In a candid, f-word-laced interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the singer bluntly stated his dislike for Glee and for series co-creator Ryan Murphy.
It’s not the first time Murphy has drawn the ire of those in the music industry. He had a well-publicized press battle with Kings of Leon, who originally rejected Glee when the show asked for the right to use some of their songs.
“It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do [expletive deleted] Glee,” Grohl said. “And then the guy who created Glee [Ryan Murphy] is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his [expletive deleted] show.”
“The Glee guy, what a [expletive deleted] jerk,” Grohl went on. “It’s just like, dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Rumors, Videos, Alternative, Hip-Hop & Rap,
It looks like Drake will be working with Florence + the Machine in the future.
The "Forever" rapper was joined onstage by flamed haired singer Florence Welch when he played in London on Saturday night, fueling rumors of a collaboration.
Florence -- who is presently writing her second album -- had gone to the rapper's show the previous evening as a fan. That is when Drake reportedly approached the singer about a duet.
The pair originally met each other at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles last year and have stayed in contact since.
When Welch performed with Drake, Florence sang the part recorded by Alicia Keys in the track "Fireworks," from Drake's debut album Thank Me Later. (See video above.)
Florence, will tour the US starting in May as an opening act for U2 on their 360 degree tour.
