Courtney Love wrote "Malibu" and "Pacific Coast Highway" for Stevie
 

Or at least that's what she said during a recent concert. I think both songs could have been great for Stevie, particularly Malibu. Even though Hole has already released it, I think Stevie should still do her own version :)

No matter how "grunge" or "babydoll" or whatever classification Courtney has been titled, she has an ear (hand) for penning a tune that would suit Stevie well. Way back when Hole still mattered, Stevie would have done well to take a song written by Courtney and record it. Would have done them both a lot of good. IMO ofcourse. Its funny how Stevie will cover just about anything, but is SO choosy about taking a song not written by her. Yea, she's done it, and yea, she has enough of her own material, but PCH or Malibu could have worked. Look how surpriseing SIAB turned out to be.

It's ironic Malibu was written about Stevie... it's the only song of Courtney's I've ever liked! :laugh:

In one of her Twitter-rants to therealstevienicks (or something like that) she thought she was talking to Stevie, she said she wrote Malibu for her but never offered it to her because she deceided to keep it for herself and she was so sorry and wanted Stevie to forgive her, lol.

And while we're on the subject:

Stevie's hair looks really chic in that photo. It's long and straight like we're used to, but seems to have more bounce and sleekness than usual. Michele

Stevie photographed awesomely well in the above shot! I'd forgotten how black and white photography is especially flattering to her, there seem to have been a lot more b&w photos of her in the 70s and the 80s. It really brings our the best in her features, while often times in color photographs, she looks a little washed out.
Anyone know how the Hole cd has sold this year, or it's chart rankings? I assume that it's peaked by now? I know that the advance reviews of it were excellent.
I'd meant to go buy it, but forgot.

Yeah, Stevie looks smokin' in that photo. She also she looks likes she was smoking/toking too. Love her very glassy-eyed, heavy-lidded stoner look.

I dont know anyone else who's bought it, and have herd very little fanfare about it. A lot of ppl are upset that it has the "Hole" name vs. Courtney solo. I think it is a rich, well put together album. I though AS had more heart, but I like ND.
I really hope that she tours more US dates...preferably one near me. Maybe the shows will re-jumpstart album sales and it's popularity. I think for most dates, she is overseas. Sorry to fall off the SN topic, and rave about CL.
GO BUY THE ALBUM! LOL

Oh wow... what a FANTASTIC photo! I can't believe I've not seen that one before! Any idea what year that was taken in? I'm guessing '98ish-'01ish?

When was this?

Her eyes look sexy. They could be the Bette Davis Eyes in that shot.

Yeah, that is a really great pic! Look how short her hair is! I've never seen anything like that. I'd guess 1999 - 2000 just because I've hardly seen any pics from this timeframe. I mean she got her bangs cut short (bleck) for Enchanted, and her hair was longer for TISL.

I thought Courtney Love didn't write 'Mailbu', it was really written by Billy Corrigan as was everythign on the Celebiry Skin album? And that's why she and he have this bad relationship now, because it was well-received yet she got the credit?

Its Billy Corgan, and the reason they hate each other is because of their past tumultuos realtionships, the fact that she accused him of stealing the songs Thru the Eyes of Ruby and Porcelina of the Vast Oceans (which is ridiculous, they sound nothing like Courtney would write, and everything Billy would write), and the fact that despite saying that she wouldn't, she used songs that billy wrote for ND even though he got mad and told her not to use them, and that they were through.

He's also been very critical of her parenting skills, as are most intelligent people.

I don't know how well it did commercially, but I have it and I listened to it non-stop for weeks. Absolutely love it. A friend of mine in England went to see her in concert while she was there promoting it...she said Courtney was completely insane but the performances themselves were fantastic :)
