so many news on that site.
all about how to sell kurt cobain. even to guns n roses... werent they supposed to be rivals?

ZEROpumpkins 03.17.2008 05:43 AM

Kurt didn't like GnR, I know that much. I think Billy Corgan was more rivals with Kurt, fucker didn't like him.

Free money .

ZEROpumpkins 03.17.2008 05:54 AM

Isn't that an oxymoron?

su x* 03.17.2008 05:56 AM

rivals: hated each other (n bands). not its actual meaning. now they wanna sound like him?

ZEROpumpkins 03.17.2008 05:59 AM

What, you saying that Pumpkins sound like Nirvana now? That's an insult to the latter!

su x* 03.17.2008 06:09 AM

I post on the NFC.

I think it's a neat idea, but the shoes didn't turn out so well.

We're in the COMMERCIAL age people the commercial age

Savage Clone 03.17.2008 11:16 AM

I can't decide which is uglier; these or the Dino Jr shoes (which are HIDEOUS). I think I'll have to go with these though, because at least Mascis is still alive and can say yes or no to this stuff.

Inhuman 03.17.2008 11:25 AM

Thanks, just preordered now

Fucking hell, how crap does that sound. Surely buying his journals would be a better "glmpse into the head of this musical and lyrical genius". Who the fuck wants to read their shoe. If you bought a pair it would get so annoying because of people asking to read them. And anyway they don't look like the converses Cobain wore. They weren't distressed because Cobain chose to "wear" them like that, they were distressed because that's what happens to converse shoes.

Do they actually come with dirt already on them? That's sad.

radarmaker 03.17.2008 03:20 PM

Jesus fucking Christ.
That is all.

Norma J 03.17.2008 03:43 PM

Most of the things that have Kurt Cobains name on them these days, you imagine he would have frowned upon and would have been totally against when he was alive. It's like dragging his name through the mud, as they say.

afterthefact 03.17.2008 04:08 PM

These are ugly.

Nobody else has said this already, have they? I'd feel stupid if they have.

HaydenAsche 03.17.2008 04:12 PM

Can you say exploitation?
