The Ghost of Nirvana Lingers, As Does The Evil Stench of Courtney Love

Ahh, Courtney Love. Thanks to your past drug habits, Nirvana fans have to sit and sadly watch their once-favorite band subjected to shameless use in all kinds of schilling ads. According to the kids at Pitchforkmedia, who read it at Idolator, who obviously read it on the Daily Swarm who saw it on the L.A. Times an entire episode of “Cold Case” is going to be set to the famous grunge band’s music.

What is “Cold Case” about? Is it good? We’ll leave that to the TV version of the Playlist, sorry. Ok, fine. Their site says:

COLD CASE is a drama about Lilly Rush (Kathryn Morris), a dedicated female detective in the Philadelphia homicide squad, who finds her niche when she’s assigned to “cold cases”–crimes that have never been solved.

Super awesome. Can’t wait to hear “Very Ape” set to some, “hand in your badge!” fucking cop nonsense. You’ll remember Nirvana was already whored out on “Lost” (the use of that song made no fucking sense). Pretty soon you’re going to see Pepsi ads soundtracked to “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.” It’s only a matter of time. Poor Kurdt.

While we’re at it, who told the assclowns in the Foo Fighters that their 1999 disc The Color and The Shape was remotely “classic” enough to get the deluxe treatment? Apparently the disc will feature 14 original tracks? Isn’t that 13 more tracks than are neccessary? What songs are still worth listening from the original aside from “Monkey Wrench,” which is only acceptably enjoyed when playing Guitar Hero.

The Swarm reminds of us this clip from the upcoming Michael Azzerad Kurt Cobain documentary, “About A Son” (with music by Ben Gibbard and Steve Fisk).
