Nirvana to Reunite w/ Courtney Love singing for SP20 this summer?
It seems the answer may be yes. No. (see update below)
If that was indeed Jon Ponemon of Sub Pop that left that comment on Lineout, then this is indeed a very interesting development. And most certainly “a coup” as he put it.
This seems to defy a supposed longstanding acrimonious relationship between C-Love and the remaining band members. As Abbey put it, “This is like Hell freezing over. The Eagles said them getting back together was, but no. This is Hell freezing over.”
Indeed, that was my initial reaction as well. Complete disbelief.
Is this a good thing? Then again, why not?
Update: Thanks JJ for clearing up that this was completely sarcastic. I guess my bullshit detector needs a tuneup.

DUDE HOLY FUCK.
i mean, i know the sort of ire that courtney draws from people who love music; i’ve never really had a problem with her. given the epic battles she’s had with the surviving members of nirvana, this– IF IT’S NOT SOME SORT OF CRUEL JOKE– seemed about as likely as kurt pulling a lazarus and doing it himself.
on the “holy fuck” scale:
kurt digging out of his own grave and performing a nirvana reunion show with a fourteen-year-old bullet wound in his head: 10
courtney on stage with krist and dave and pat smear(!): 9.7

It was a sarcastic statement. This isn’t happening. SJ Bernstein has been dead for several years, The Gits singer was killed back in 1995… plus on first hearing of the rumor it sounded false. Who makes this stuff up?

Old Nirvana band members HATE Courtney Love. It will NEVER happen.
