Oh yeah, she's also been working on a bit of a solo album thing, too. It's called 'America's Sweetheart' and it was meant to be out in September. Anyhow, shit happens and it's been put back to 9th February now.
We VIP types at Drowned In Sound have also been granted an exclusive listen to the first single, 'Mono', out 26th January. When I say 'exclusive' I mean, of course, exclusive to anyone with a decent computer and a connection to the internet.
Go now and download and/or stream it from Courtney's Official Site. It's really quite good. Very good, in fact. Sort of like 'Celebrity Skin' if you walloped it in the face with a stick and taunted its weight problems in front of some mean-ass school bullies.
And if that's not enough to blow yer punk-rock whistle, check out this killer artwork preview up to yer starboard. Bloody limeys!

Maaaaaan, just going to her fucking website is enough to make me puke. Courtney, we don't need some stylised image of you on your back with yer tits out. Tedious woman with no more claim to greatness than Paris Hilton. How can anyone claim this is punk rock? It rocks less hard than Transvision Vamp did. It rocks less hard than Kenickie did. It rocks less hard than even Bis. Courtney, piss off and stop making music. Avril Lavigne does this rock thang way better than you do if this is meant to be your big comeback.

Bad in what sense? It's not like she's walked out of an Afghanistan minefield.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Also, in terms of 'rocking' the music is what's important, not the album cover.... but if this is what you need to comment on, then maybe you really do want her to have a stylized image... it just depends on which image YOU want right?

In all honesty, Courtney was ok before. I don't really like her, but I liked "My Body, The Hand Grenade." The shit she put out now is not only different (which she has a right to be, to reinvent herself), but it doesn't really affect you the same way. This shit is boring. The words are bland and she just isn't as hard anymore. Now I'm not up Brody's ass either. I don't really find the Distillers inspiring or whatever because I never felt Brody ever said anything as eye-opening as Courtney was sometimes able to do. But Courtney is not "Badass" anymore as some of you would like to believe.
Oh by the way, her voice sounds like shit. Get her some singing lessons guys.
Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download
Hmm.. that cover art on the album is a little suggestive to me. Sorry, I just don't like that kind of thing! I don't judge her on anything but her music. I don't consider her to be a bad mother or a crackwhore or the fifth devil on Satan's shoulder or Kurt's murderer or any of the other shit she is labelled with. I do consider her to be a hugely overrated musician though.
And yes Avril Lavigne does do the rock thing so much better.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download
Courtney Love + Linda '4 Non Blondes' Perry + Bernie Taupin + some bloke she met in a bar once = what precisely?
Courtney Love is a middle-aged Avril, plain n' simple.
Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download
Avril does do the rock thing better.
And i think her songs are better than OK.
Then again... im a sucker for crap pop music.
