Courtney Love Releasing 'Nobody's Daughter' in January

Hole fans, rejoice. Courtney Love has not only resurrected her '90s band's name for her new album 'Nobody's Daughter,' she's actually going to release it. Rolling Stone confirms that Hole's first record since 1998's 'Celebrity Skin' is set for a January release and explores a varying degree of topics that one might expect from Love: greed, vengeance and feminism. Apparently, the sound draws from David Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs,' "the good side of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'" and "'80s goth," so, it might be a bit moody. Still, all of this is good news for a few reasons. First, 'Nobody's Daughter' hasn't exactly been fast-tracked. After a false start in 2005 that included getting Billy Corgan and Linda Perry to produce, Love scrapped those sessions and fired her band. In the end, she ended up hooking up with 'Celebrity Skin' producer Michael Beinhorn, as well featuring the production and guitar work of 23-year-old guitarist Micko Larking.
But more so, this will probably have Love focused around something other than saying Ryan Adams is terrible, possibly signing off on her former husband Kurt Cobain's likeness for video games and being sued by American Express. As we noted back in January, 'Nobody's Daughter' was supposed to be funded by a tequila company and a tampon company, but there's no word yet on any cross promotions.
She does seem generally excited to give Hole another go. "It's four letters," she told Rolling Stone. "It is one of the best band names in f---ing history, if I do say so myself. For a while, I was a little embarrassed it was maybe vulgar but at least it's not phallic. It's H-O-L-E, it's a great band name, and it's mine."

I wish Courtney Love would fall into a Hole. A deep, dark hole. One where she would never be heard from again. It would be a plus of there were sharp spiky rocks at the bottom of it.

Yeah, too bad she can't be like the popular artists of today: Lady Gagme, Kanye Worst, and the rest. They'll be mentioned in history.

It will be great to hear more of the fantastic music Courtney has made over the years. Her fans will be estatic, and her detractors pissed off - haha!

You all cared enough to read the story though....I don't know, I like Hole. I also like alot of other bands, it doesn't mean I have to love the one who sings.

How To Make It Big: Marry someone with real talent. Wait till he dies. Be an A Hole. Make crappy music. Be "controversial". Shun underwear. Be a skank doper. Put your face everywhere you can. Pop in and out of rehab. Get fat. Get scary skinny. Get fat. Get scary skinny. Cash checks. Cruise.

Fuck you all, I love Courtney Love and Hole. If you think you can do better, why don't you try and do it, just for the sake of doing something different in you boring lives. I bet half of you where still playing with your ninja turtles when she had already released her debut album, Pretty from the inside, oh, and by the ways, has any of you heard that album, even taken a couple of minutes to hear that album before writing that she is not talented?? Have you ever stop to read her lyrics? Have you? No? Then shut the fuck up and go back to the mediocrity you call lives, to take care of your bosses and books and become exemplary citizens.

If your so young and beautiful, why are you begging? Get a life. You are all over the place and sound pathetic and stupid!

whether she did actually kill him, it was meant to happen obviously or it wouldn't of. she is trashy but apparently now a days trashy is cool. if you like her or hate her you shouldn't get mad at other people's opinion. it makes no difference to me really, i barely even listened to hole back in the day. nirvana is still one of my favorite bands of all time.
