KURT COBAIN'S CHILDHOOD HOME DROPS $100K IN PRICE
The childhood home of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain has been on the market since 2013 for $500,000. But with no buyers since then,
Cobain's mother has now dropped the price to $400,000. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, however, this asking price is still
$300,000 more than the average price for homes in the local area.
The 1,522-square-foot Cobain house is located in east Aberdeen, Washington, about 110 miles southwest of Seattle.
Despite a park named after Cobain and a statue erected last year, Nirvana biographer Charles R. Cross doesn't think Aberdeen has done
enough to honor its most famous resident: "Kurt's the most famous person that was ever born in Aberdeen and maybe the most famous
person that'll ever be born, and the city has done almost nothing to honor him. The city is kind of waking up to it. Aberdeen is a city that
has really struggled economically for six decades, and if they could boost their tourism just a bit, I think it would help everybody involved."
A journalist and Nirvana fan started a GoFundMe campaign in 2014 to raise $700,000 in order to buy the house and turn it into a museum.
To date the campaign has raised just a little over $2,000.
The home allegedly still holds traces of the time that Kurt lived there, including holes he allegedly made in the walls and band logos he
allegedly drew on the wall as well.
The realtor listing the property calls it a "once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of rock history.”

Look through the eyes of Kurt Cobain.
Kurt Cobain "The House" 05/04/1994 (Kurt Donald Cobain)
Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 – c. April 5, 1994) was an American musician who was best known as the lead singer, guitarist,
and primary songwriter of the rock band Nirvana. Cobain formed Nirvana with Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1985 and established
it as part of the Seattle music scene and grunge genre. Nirvana's debut album Bleach was released on the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989.
After signing with major label DGC Records, the band found breakthrough success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from their second album
Nevermind (1991). Following the success of Nevermind, Nirvana was labeled "the flagship band" of Generation X, and Cobain hailed as
"the spokesman of a generation". Cobain, however, was often uncomfortable and frustrated, believing his message and artistic vision to
have been misinterpreted by the public, with his personal issues often subject to media attention.
During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with heroin addiction, chronic health problems and depression. He also had difficulty coping
with his fame and public image, and the professional and personal pressures surrounding himself and his wife, musician Courtney Love.
On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound
to the head. The circumstances of his death at age 27 have become a topic of public fascination and debate. Since their debut, Nirvana, with Cobain
as a songwriter, has sold over 25 million albums in the U.S., and over 75 million worldwide. Cobain was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 2014, along with Nirvana bandmates Novoselic and Dave Grohl, in their first year of eligibility.

A one-off performance by Hole on Channel 4 cult music show The Word, recorded live at Teddington Studios in London,
United Kingdom on March 26, 1993. Host Mark Lamarr, NMTB legend, introduces the song as "Brother Son," nifty, eh?
This is the first known recording of Kristen Pfaff and Patty Schemel in Hole aswell and was up on YouTube, in two forms,
before the autocrats decided to remove it.

Kristen Pfaff (Kristen Marie Pfaff)
Kristen Marie Pfaff (May 26, 1967 - June 16, 1994) was an American bass guitarist, best known for her work with Hole.
Early life and career
Pfaff was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, attending Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart. She spent a short time in Europe and briefly attended Boston College
before ultimately finishing at the University of Minnesota. She studied classical piano and cello. While living in Minneapolis, Minnesota following her graduation, Pfaff
taught herself to play bass guitar. She, guitarist/vocalist Joachim Breuer (formerly of Minneapolis rockers the Bastards) and drummer Matt Entsminger formed the band
Janitor Joe. The band's first single, "Hmong", was released on the nascent OXO records imprint in 1992, and popular local label Amphetamine Reptile Records picked
up the band later that year, releasing the "Bullethead" single on picture disc, and following up in 1993 with the "Boyfriend" 7-inch and the debut album "Big Metal Birds".
One Janitor Joe track, "Under The Knife", can also be found on an OXO records 4-track EP, released in 1993.
Janitor Joe were becoming a staple of the Minneapolis sound, influenced by the Pacific Northwest's early grunge sound and by the sharper, faster DC post-hardcore
scene, as well as the stop-start distortion of the Butthole Surfers, Shellac and others on the Touch and Go label. Pfaff's playing style was central to Janitor Joe's
relentless assault both live and on record, and she and Breuer both contributed songs to "Big Metal Birds": "Both operate within easy reach of the line separating punishment
and reward: Pfaff's contributions (the surly "Boys in Blue") tend to be slightly more spacious, while Breuer's ("One Eye," for instance) stipulate that drummer Matt Entsminger
maintain perpetual motion", wrote David Sprague of TrouserPress.
The growing Minneapolis scene was beginning to attract music press attention in 1993. Amphetamine Reptile released a tour single, "Stinker", and Janitor Joe began
to tour nationally. It was on one such tour in California that year that Pfaff was scouted by Eric Erlandson and Courtney Love of Hole, who were at the time looking for
a new bassist. Love invited Pfaff to play with Hole; Pfaff declined and returned to Minneapolis, but Erlandson and Love continued to pursue her.
Hole
Pfaff, initially reluctant to leave Minneapolis and join Hole, reconsidered after advice from her father, Norman: "From a professional point of view, there was no decision",
he later told "Seattle Weekly", "because they're already on Geffen Records and already have this huge following in England... if you're wanting to move up the ladder,
that's the way to go." Following international critical acclaim for their first, independent album, "Pretty On The Inside", Hole had generated a great deal of major-label interest,
eventually signing an eight-album deal with Geffen Records for a reported $3 million.
In 1993, Pfaff moved to Seattle, Washington, to work with the other members of Hole on "Live Through This", the major-label follow-up to "Pretty On The Inside".
The band's new line-up - Love, Erlandson, Pfaff and Patty Schemel on drums - entered the studio in early 1993 to begin rehearsals. "That's when we took off,"
Eric Erlandson said of Pfaff joining. "All of a sudden we became a real band."
Seattle and after
Pfaff's time in Seattle was a creatively rich period, and she formed close friendships with Eric Erlandson, Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. While working on
"Live Through This", Pfaff and Erlandson fell in love, and stayed together for most of 1993, remaining close even after splitting up. All was not well, however;
while living in Washington's 'heroin capital', Pfaff developed a problem with drug use. "Everybody was doing it. Everyone, everyone. All our friends were junkies.
It was ridiculous. Everybody in this town did dope", said Love of this period in the Seattle music scene. By most accounts, Pfaff's own drug use was relatively moderate:
"Kristen...dabbled in drugs before she was in our band, in Minneapolis, but it was very light", Erlandson told Craig Marks of " Spin". "She moved to Seattle and felt
disconnected from everything, and she made friends, drug connections, which I told her not to do. The only way you can survive in this town is if you don't make those
connections." [ [http://www.nirvanafreak.net/art/art64.shtml nirvanafreak.net - Articles & Interviews - Endless love ] ]
Pfaff entered rehab for heroin addiction in the winter of 1993, and took a sabbatical from Hole in spring 1994, leaving Seattle's ever-present heroin scene to tour
with Janitor Joe. "She went on tour... and when she came back from that, she was clean", says Erlandson. Soon after her return, however, the suicide of her friend
Kurt Cobain in April 1994 was to prove unbearable. In the wake of Cobain's death, Pfaff decided to leave Hole and Seattle, and return to Minneapolis to rejoin
Janitor Joe permanently.
Death
Early on June 16, 1994, Pfaff was found dead in her bathtub by Erlandson and another friend, with whom she had planned to leave for Minneapolis that day.
She was 27. Nearby was a cosmetic bag containing syringes and drug paraphernalia. Sometime overnight, Pfaff had died from a heroin overdose. "Her U-Haul
was already loaded up", according to Erlandson. "Everyone that talked to her that last night said she sounded really happy, excited to be starting this new life."
Kristen Pfaff was buried in Section 6, Lot 45 of Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York. A local Minneapolis radio station, University of Minnesota's KUOM,
had started a yearly $1,000 Memorial Scholarship in her name. The award is earmarked for "individuals active in the arts in the pursuit of their educational goals."
On October 20, 1994, Janet Pfaff, Kristen's mother, accepted induction on her daughter's behalf into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame. "I'm proud to accept this award for
Kristen and I know she would be happy to receive it," Mrs. Pfaff said. "It's sad because Kristen wasn't here herself to enjoy the moment. You work so hard in the business
to make it at the national level, and that's what Kristen did. I just wish she was here to enjoy it, and see how her hometown feels about her."
[ [http://www.gdrmusic.com/atnatalie/library/post/941020.htm Buffalo News, October 20, 1994 ] ] After her daughter's death, Janet became involved in the anti-drug
movement, did public speaking on the subject, and joined an advisory panel in the organization Partnership For A Drug-Free America.

Kristen Pfaff Tribute
Kurt101Cobain:
A tribute to Kristen Pfaff . I did not use these songs just because they were Hole, I used them
because in each one you can either hear Kristen's vocals or bass playing. Kristen pfaff was the
bass player for hole in 1993, but she was planning to leave Courtney and Seattle. Kristen died
at 27, and I believe there is a mystery surrounding her death. She was a very talented and beautiful
woman, who's life was ended too short. JUSTICEFORKURT + KRISTEN
For Kristen (1967-1994)

'A Girl In a Band' - The Seven Stages of Kim Gordon
To celebrate the release of Kim Gordon's autobiography—out next week—we break down her life into seven stages.
All hail Kim Gordon. Rock star, artist, fashion designer, and now author, the co-founder of Sonic Youth has penned one of 2015’s must-read books, which is now
available to everyone, everywhere today. A fascinating cultural document, Girl In a Band, proves she’s so much more than that title. Sure, it contains all
the gossip you’ve no doubt heard by now—Billy Corgan’s a crybaby, Courtney Love’s nuts and Thurston Moore’s a midlife crisis cheater—but it also tracks Kim’s
own artistic evolution, and offers a salacious insight into the life of a woman who’s spent most of her 61 years casually skipping along the cutting edge
of alt culture. Here are just a few of the many phases of Kim Gordon.
Teenage Flower Child
Growing up in Southern California in the 1960s, this Kim was a long-haired hippy in her youth is hardly a surprise. Though born in Rochester, New York, at the age
of five her father was offered a professorship in UCLA’s sociology department and the family upped sticks to the West Coast. As a teenager she’d wear pants crafted
by her seamstress mother out of an old Indian bedspread and moon over pictures of Joni Mitchell and Marianne Faithfull, listen to avant-garde jazz with her
surfer dude older brother and go camping in Yosemite with her boyfriend Danny Elfman. Yes, that Danny Elfman.
Experimental Art Student
Choreographing freeform modern dance pieces at her high school—where My So-Called Life was filmed decades later—to a Frank Zappa soundtrack
kick-started Kim’s love of visual art. While studying at Santa Monica College a boyfriend introduced her to Larry Gagosian, and she worked
for the nascent art dealer as a framer. She moved to Venice Beach where her landlord was also a roadie of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and
then headed to York University in Toronto to study under Fluxus filmmaker George Manupelli and made a surrealist film about Patty Hearst.
Fully fixed in her nomadic 20-something status, she then headed back to Los Angeles, attending a downtown art institute and simultaneously becoming
romantically involved with the prolific artist Mike Kelley and falling under the spell of acclaimed artist Dan Graham, the pair attending a formative
Black Flag show—with Keith Morris up front—in Orange County.
Manhattan Art Maven
In 1980, Kim traveled to New York, a ratty metropolis but a place where modern art and experimental dance was thriving. “Everything seemed to be happening
in New York,” writes Kim, who was able to move to the city after coming into a hefty chunk of insurance money following a car accident in Culver City.
She drove there cross country with Mike Kelley riding shotgun via New Orleans, crashing at Cindy Sherman’s place on Fulton Street on arrival, before
subletting a corner of Jenny Holzer’s loft. Again, she became an employee of the significantly more successful at this point Larry Gagosian, working on
reception at his Broadway gallery. She admits she was useless at the job, hardly ever answering the phone, but she certainly dressed the part, in—“Swedish
clear glasses, bad clothes, and short blond-brown hair”—and while she “worked” there, however half-assedly, she became firm friends with the up-and-coming
Richard Prince. Just running with the who’s-who of the art world. NBD.
No Wave Newcomer
Guided through New York’s caustic, anti-everything no wave arts and music mash-up scene by Dan Graham, Kim was introduced to long-gone clubs like Tier 3
and arts organization Franklin Furnace, as well as being taken to see acts like Theoretical Girls, the one-single band founded by Glenn Branca and
Jeffrey Lohn. “Its sheer freedom and blazing-ness made me think, I can do that,” she writes. Kim ended up taking part in one of Dan Graham’s performance
art pieces, putting together a girl band to appear in Audience Performer Mirror. The band only lasted for as long as the performance, but bassist
Miranda Stanton proved to be instrumental in Kim’s life, introducing her to a young guitar player called Thurston Moore.
Sonic Youth Guitar Goddess
Kim met Thurston at his last ever show with The Coachmen. He was the first younger man—by five years—she had ever dated. They soon began playing music
together, joining forces with Lee Ranaldo under the name Male Bonding before settling on Sonic Youth, with Kim on bass. The band were to become the first
word in experimental alt rock throughout the 80s and 90s, until they fizzled out in 2011 on account of Kim and Thurston’s separation following his
affair. Thirty years is nonetheless a pretty impressive innings for any creative endeavor, and the band progressed through the music industry ranks
never once losing their integrity, touring the world with everyone from Nirvana to Neil Young, signing with Geffen and securing slots on the bills
of the world’s biggest festivals. They can also claim the dubious honor of being behind one of the most popular band t-shirts ever, with Raymond Pettibon’s
graphic getaway artwork for their Goo album now a mass-produced Urban Outfitters staple, worn by kids who probably couldn’t hum the “Kool Thing” riff if
their life depended on it.
X-Girl Fashion Icon
In 1993 Kim joined up with stylist Daisy Cafritz, the sister of Pussy Galore’s Julie Cafritz, to launch clothing line X-Girl, as a response to the limited fashion
options in downtown Manhattan. “At a time when oversized, shaggy-looking, grunge-inspired skatewear was a prevailing trend, Daisy and I were forever on the hunt
for a closer-fitting, cleaner, more casual look,” she writes. The label was inspired by Anna Karina in Godard’s Pierrot le Fou and Anita Pallenburg in the Exile
on Main Street-era. They teamed up with X-Large Streetwear via Beastie Boys Mike D and produced a preppy, yet rock ’n’ roll inspired line, which Kim debuted in
Sonic Youth’s “Bull In The Heather” video while four months pregnant, alongside Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna. A store opened on Lafayette Street and Kim’s mate
Chloe Sevigny typified the line’s look.
Mom
Kim gave birth to her and Thurston’s only child, Coco Gordon Moore, in the early 90s, and whenever Kurt and Courtney were in New York, their nanny would
bring Frances Bean over and the two babies would play together. Deciding they didn’t want to raise Coco in the hectic bustle of Manhattan, the family
moved to Northampton, Massachusetts.
She might have been in white-picket fenced New England, but Kim still ended up talking about Yoko Ono at the school gates and hanging out with new
neighbors like J. Mascis. In her teens, Coco formed her own band, Big Nils, but banned her parents from attending her gigs and is currently studying art
in Chicago. Like mother, like daughter… |
