tvotwtf?

looks like courtney love shoulda gone to freecreditreport.com

poor lil frances bean.

i read in a book with a lot of pictures in it that kurt and courtney lived in LA for a year around the time 'nevermind' came out. the book had some photos of them and baby frances in their little bare-walled apartment in koreatown or wherever it was, all happy and scruffy in their pajamas. it was pretty surreal to see how small and intimate their life seemed compared to what was going on in kurt's career at the time, and the media feeding frenzy that was right around the corner.

i wonder if when they lived here they ever went out in silverlake and saw some shitty bands. if so, what sort of shitty bands were 'around' in LA back then?

since 'grunge' hadnt happened yet was it all hair metal bands and a pre-record deal weezer? (is the fact that weezer even dared to exist in a hair metal-and-punk-dominated LA actually incredible in retrospect?) or were they hip enough to go see pre-record deal beck play a leaf-blower at some silverlake coffeeshop? were there tons of record collector bands playing jangly college pop, or was OC/long beach pop-punk/ska and hardcore the only visible alternative? so many questions. aging LA natives, feel free to chime in.

i also just realized that this week marked the 15th anniversary of kurt's suicide. miss ya buddy! your band totally didnt suck. but your wife's did.
