Things That Make You Say WTF?!: Courtney Love Interprets "Jeremy" By Pearl Jam

You all know how I feel about Courtney Love, but this one was too terribly good to pass up. In this epic fail of a video, Love interprets Jeremy, a classic Pearl Jam cut, for the webonauts to enjoy (read: cringe). I did say that she interprets it since I can't in my right mind consider this singing. 

I highly encourage you to watch the "hole" video...it's so awful and hilarious at the same time. The 3:00 mark is in my opinion the pinnacle of this performance. Courtney needs a serious "Old Yellering" as she clearly has rabies or is clinically insane.

Sound off on this debaucherous spectacle in the comments .

The 20th anniversary of Nirvana's quintessential album has come and gone. In honor of Nevermind's (belated) bday, here is one of my fave cuts "In Bloom", complete with a rad video.

For all of you Cobain heads out there, the Super Deluxe edition of Nevermind comes complete with 4 CDs and a DVD. The CDs include the original release remastered with B-sides, The Boombox Rehearsals recorded before to the final product and the Devonshire Mixes by Butch Vig. The DVD is a previously unreleased concert recorded at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, accompanied by a CD of the live show. This special box set will run you about $130 as it's limited to 10,000 copies in North America, with another 30K for the rest of the world.

Vinyl is also available if you want to wax your memories back.

Your homework for the weekend: throw your copy of Nevermind in your stereo and remember when rock/alternative made a massive impression on the 90s and beyond. Heroin optional. Headbanging required.

Amy Winehouse 1983-2011

Add the name Amy Winehouse to the list of talented, yet-troubled performers to pass away well before their time.  Despite her potential, she simply could not gain control over her demons.

The cause of her death at this time is unexplained.

Winehouse was 27 years old.

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain's ages at the time of their deaths = 27

I Miss You, I'm Not Coming Back: 17 Years After Kurt Cobain's Death

The music industry suffered a huge loss in 1994, when Kurt Cobain was found dead of an apparent suicide. It's hard to believe that so much time has passed since that dark day. You're going to see tons of articles today about the "what ifs" and "what really happened". I'm going to take you on a more personal journey exploring why Nirvana was, and still is, so important to me.
