Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

If anyone in musicland is gonna be happy to see the back of 2003, it has to be that Courtney Love. The gal's had to battle through literally zillions of gruesomely public court cases, in between dropping by her ex's to kick some glass ass, dodging police officers hither and thither, and all the while overdosing on prescription pills. Phew...

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!

Courtney Love: Mono Mania

My word that's a choon! Something's really gonna happen in 2004. Something so-so-so big... are.. you.. ready?
"bring my punk rock back"

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

yeah that is somewhat good. Hurray hurrah

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

SHE'S BAAACCCKKK :D

I have been waiting too long for this, but it's been worth it. This song is ace <3

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Yeah, it's as shit as I thought it would be.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Well done, a your mum joke, how original of you.

Anyway.. so who wrote that song, that woman from 4 non blondes?

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download


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.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

HELL YES! THIS BAD GIRL HAS GONE THROUGH SO MUCH THIS YEAR! SHE REALLLY NEEDED IT! WAY TO GO Courtney !

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download


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

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Yeah about as original as slagging off Courtney because you like Nirvana. This song has been kicking around for two years, eg before Linda Perry.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Eh? How does walking out of anywhere infer you are 'bad'? Are we talking in the Arnie sense?

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Its highly unnoffensive Billboard chart baiting stuff. Same vein as good charlotte with a nu-marilyn manson style riff. Dont get me wrong, celeb skin was a great single, and malibu, highly poppy but they just had some sparkle to them.
If shes back, she can go away. Focus on parenting.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Give the lady a break, what has she done to you? Singles aren't always the best song from an album anyway so let's just wait until the album is out...

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

hay man you are the greatest.
just keep movin like that and everything is all right
i like your music a lott

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

courtney love has no talent whatso ever ????? her first hole album was shite her second hole album sounded like in utero and her third hole album sounded like a pile of commercial stale boring going through the mill once again pile of shite hahahah lost yer daugter shouldnt be such a fuck up wankness

plus she cant play guitar and is only remotely attractive cos shes had sooooooooo much surgery

hi my names courtney don`t you want my autograph?????????????

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Mono is excellent...it sounds like she gives a fuck about whatever shes singing about....but perhaps a bit over produced....and celeb skin part 2 part i've been waiting long enuff...and lyrically, vocally its charismatic, and she wants to be mainstream so that argument should be put to bed....better than anything marilyn mansons done in years or any of the supposed 'rock' girls who've pathetically milked and sucked from mtv's haggard nipples for the last couple of years......i hope the album is better and shits itself into all the mouths and hearts of everyone who pretends to give a shit about her child, her life, her looks, her lifestyle,...its hardly like kurt cobain got an A* in parenting....how pathetic it comes back to how she looks and her age and being a bad mother.....i love the way sexism and rock never fails to go skipping hand in hand......

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Whoever wrote that RULES !!!! You are 100% right. I guess only intelligent people see what she's all about.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Oh and what a surprise. You've just given the game away, love. Another Courtney-hater who pretends to have an individual opinion on another board. You're writing my thesis as I speak, really.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Right on. I'd guess it's at least a little about Fred Durst "oh god you owe me one more song so I can prove to you that I'm so much better than you". It is funny how everyone has double standards for Kurt. He WAS a much worse druggy than Courtney, after all.

"Are you the one with the spark to bring the punk rock back? I don't think so"

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

i loved hole. i don't love this. o_O

it sounds like courtney is trying to sound like brodie (distillers) who is trying to sound like courtney.

hah.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

i dont really like it

the first riff isnt to bad

i think she's ripping off the distillers

(joke)

Ha.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

hah. crazy. crazy, CRAZY people.

i must say- the song is growing on me. it is just the brodie stylee vocals when it comes to the chorus-

question: why?

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

What are you people on about? Courtney's new song is quality. celeb skin was too produced but this is back to the good old days. Whoever said avril lavigne rocks is so wrong.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

no. courtney wrote the lyrics. patty schemel (a former hole drummer) wrote the music i think.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

all right, now you're lack of intelligence is actually hurting me... so first you need to go get a dictionary and look up the word SATIRE

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?

COURTNEY LOVE ARRANGED FOR KURT COBAIN TO BE MURDERED.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

JEFF BUCKLEY'S MUM ARRANGED FOR A VERY BIG FISH TO GRAB HOLD OF HIS LEG AND DROWN HIM.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

And she doesn't have "her tits out".

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but did you just say that 'Avril Lavigne does this rock thang' well? Idiot!

I'm sorry, you must be blind deaf and dumb. I do apologise.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

okay, get the facts straight, its really not about the art cover, its about the music, and her tits are not hanging out, and if they are, why not? if you have 'em show em off...and the song mono is really good, so dont judge her by anything but her music, and if you dont like that, well thats okay, but alot of us do...

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Yea Sorry..I mean I don't really care for Courtney, but Brody's voice is natural. She isn't copying Courtney, in that sense. Her singing voice is naturally husky. I couldn't undestand how she could stand to sing like that for so long if it wasn't...

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

avril lavigne is pathetic. her songs of teen angst were written by a 30 something producer team known as the matrix. shes not any more real than any other pop singer out there, and shes also just plain annoying.

Re: Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Avril Lavigne + the Matrix = OKish tracks.

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

I think you're flattering courtney a bit with that one.

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.

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

Courtney is great. People who dislike her are pretty sad to post on this thread...

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

u cant actually download it, only stream it

Courtney Love: 'Mono' Available to Download

I like mono. If the rest of the album sounds like that. I'd definitely buy it. It sounds like early hole which i like more.
