Comments on Someday, You Will Ache Like I Ache... Except Really I Won't

"And because I refuse to turn my music collection digital, I have far too many CDs"

CDs ARE digital, you know.

And yeah, that's a really good album. I could care less who wrote it. Courtney had Kurt killed, huh? Yeah right, as if he wasn't fucked up enough to do it himself.

@1 - the music on CDs is digital, but the CDs themselves, and their packaging, are physical objects. I think we all knew what Megan meant.

I should listen to that again; it's been a long time. I remember there being some really good rock on it.

"Billy's a parody of himself," you say? Okay. Good. Haha, i still can't wait for the Smashing Pumpkins set Sept 22 in a PARKING LOT right downtown! That's gonna be sick, and I think you're gonna miss out.

I keep boxes of old letters and stuff. Every time I get in spring clean mode or move, the boxes come out. I don't know why I have to read the letters, but I have to read them. Like snapshots I guess. But what ends up happening is that I'll clean for like 20 minutes, then read letters for 3 hours, then have to clean the letters. Then I cry.

I've been on a huge "all-things Nirvana-related" kick ever since I finished reading the ginormous bio by Everett True, who I was lucky enough to intern with while he was researching the book and got to sit in on some truly awesome interviews.

Anyway, I've been meaning to get a copy of that album again. I L.O.V.E.D. it when it came out, and in the middle of nowhere in Idaho, I think I was the only straight guy I knew who could say that, and definitely the only straight guy I knew who thought Courtney Love was awesome. The "she killed Kurt" stuff was always total bullshit, thought the exceedingly messed up nature of their relationship definitely did not help his mental state, and there's actually a pretty compelling argument to be made that by the time he killed himself he had OD'd so many times that he had actually experienced brain damage, which would also have contributed to his deteriorating mental condition.

ANYway though, point being, for all of her many, MAJOR faults, I still have a soft spot in my heart for her, simply for the fact that I knew a lot of girls in my shitty little part of the world who didn't know it was okay to brassy and crass and dangerous and make wild mistakes and totally live their own life until they heard Live Through This and many of them have gone on to eclipse Courtney Love completely as awesome people, so take that for what it's worth. Hole was definitely the gateway drug to Bikini Kill out in the sticks.

thanks for the reminder. I pulled the CD off my shelf and am re-listening to it right now. I can't believe I hadn't already put it on my iPod.

I totally agree. Great CD. Too much baggage to accompany it, but a great CD nonetheless.

I'm with everyone else, that album is solid.

great. now i'm going to have courtney love screaming "SOMEDAY YOU WILL ACHE LIKE I ACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in my head over and over and over again.... no wonder kurt killed himself.
