PAPERMAG: Finding Love On the Internet: Courtney Love Grapples With Her Online Persona (H/T Marissa)
I hate chocolate. Fuck chocolate. Kurt hated chocolate, too—that was one of the things we had in common. Chocolate makes it all too easy. Oooh. Woww. Chocolate. Oooh. Yum. Fuck that. It’s sorta like how I don’t love the Ramones. It’s a flaw. Or, I love Mr. Springsteen as a person, I’m just not a superfan. Everyone lovvves the Boss, but that’s chocolate for me. It’s just, like… no.
Courtney Love discusses her diet with Grub Street

Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain perform the unreleased “Stinking of You” (footage from Hit So Hard: The Life & Near Death Story of Patty Schemel)
By the way, I snagged Melissa Auf der Maur’s notes from the Hole mini-reunion the other night. From what I can tell, they are:
- “Seasons in the Sun,” which they played as a trio, Auf der Maur on vocals (the back side of the page is lyrics to that);
- The bass notes to “Red Head Walking” which they played as a trio;
- Some lyrics from ”Red Head Walking” (“Kiss that girl, / She’ll cut your heart like diamonds - END OF STORY / You bet you’re gonna lose it”)
- “Use once”, a note pointing to “Use Once and Destroy,” which they played an instrumental version of, as a trio;
- A reference to the Sebadoh song they did as a trio (video), not sure why it says Smiths;
- James McNew, who I just realized was that dude from Yo La Tengo. Melissa said he loaned her the bass she used. He joined them for “Over The Edge” by the Wipers (video).

I grill Melissa, Patty and Eric at last night’s Hit So Hard post-screening Q&A in New York. Thanks to all who came! (Photo: Mel Gottshall)
And thus concludes (maybe) that bit of unseemly business. (I suspect Dave Grohl won’t be getting an apology.)
Video of last night’s oh-so-brief Hole reunion at Public Assembly in Brooklyn. I was there! (Video by Hole “superfan Greg Frederick”)
And a reminder: I’ll be conducting a Q&A with Patty, Eric and Melissa tomorrow following the 7 p.m. screening of Hit So Hard at Cinema Village in New York. Get movie tix here.
