When your parents are both well-known in a particular field, following in their footsteps has got to be burdensome. The pressure, the questions, the comparisons…
Now imagine you are Francis Bean Cobain.
The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love has dabbled in music before, but mostly has been known for her art work and modeling — and you know, being the offspring of a pretty famous alternative rock couple.
She released this song earlier — then deleted — and now has returned to Instagram with a taste of the revamped original song:
Consequence of Sound helped break down the important takeaways from her post. Echoing a statement she made earlier, she confirms in the comments of this post an intention pursue a music career. And to the fan that (already) was comparing her style to the style of her parents, she had this to say:
“You are probably right in the respect that people probably can make assumptions or conclusions about my art because they are informed about my life’s trajectory,” she wrote. “Not everyone has to like it, that’s not a requirement of making and receiving art.”
Playing off her post title, it won’t be Plain White T’s (purveyors of 2006’s Hey There, Delilah)….it won’t be Hole….it won’t be Nirvana. Her musical journal will be uniquely hers, no matter how far or where that journey takes her. — [eric]
One of the most talked-about alternative music tours of the summer will see most of the original Smashing Pumpkins lineup reunite for the ‘Shiny And Oh So Bright’ Tour. The annoying shadow hanging over this feel-good story has been the absence of original bassist D’arcy Wretzky. This week, Pumpkins singer/guitarist Billy Corgan reluctantly commented on the feelings within the band heading into the tour, and how it relates to Wretzky.
Consequence of Sound released the following transcription from an interview with Metallica’s Lars Ulrich where Corgan detailed why James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and himself are content with doing this reunion without Wretzky:
“If you’re really not passionate about what you do and you’re not passionate about providing that passion to fans by extension and saying, ‘Look we really love what we do and we want to share this with you.’ If that relationship is not at the heart of what you do, then what are you doing? The thing that keeps you on the rudder is the music and the fact that somehow when the three of us [Corgan, Chamberlin, and James Iha) come together, this magical thing happens that’s bigger than me, and I have no problem admitting to that. And if that’s not your guiding principle, then it’s a sh*tty reality show. And we don’t want the sh*tty reality show, we really don’t. We’d rather just stay on the music, and if we can do that, great.”

YouTuber Jossa 252 did an impressive jump, caught on helmet cam by his friend:
Not one… but two… new Jimmy Eat World songs were released into the wild this week! Check out Love Never and half heart:
Conan O’Brien’s TBS show is getting cut in half next year. Along with Conan, TBS president Kevin Reilly announced that, as of January, the show will segue to a half-hour format that will steer away from celebrity interviews and focus on producing more original comedy segments.
On a conference call this morning, Conan said the new format is “Something that fits the modern landscape and certainly fits the way that I interact with my fans more.”
Twitter announced that every one of its 336 million users should change their passwords. A bug was found that stored passwords in their original form to an “internal log,” which doesn’t have proper encryption.
Twitter boss Jack Dorsey tweeted, “We fixed the bug and have no indication of a breach or misuse by anyone.” He goes on to say, “As a precaution, consider changing your password on all services where you’ve used this password.”
At the time of this article’s posting, Twitter service is erratic with many link clicks leading to an error page.
One of the last few remaining Blockbuster Video stores is in Anchorage, Alaska. To help the store stay in business, Last Week Tonight host John Oliver purchased some Holllywood memorabilia to help attract foot traffic. Oliver spent $7,000 on Russell Crowe’s jockstrap from 2005’s Cinderella Man, where Crowe played an underdog boxer.
“I tell you, we’re going to get a lot of traffic, is what I’m expecting,” said the store’s general manager in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.
It’s certainly odd enough to walk into a Blockbuster in 2018 to rent ‘Cinderella Man’, but now you now you get to stare at something that covered Crowe’s crotch.

Death Cab for Cutie teased a new album with the following video teaser. The new album is due out in August 2018. This will be the bands 9th studio album and their first since 2015.
With the latest Avengers film hitting theaters this past week, Marvel is hitting us while the iron (man) is still hot with the trailer for ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’ starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly. The trailer seems to give teasers for some spectacular special effects, and maybe it gives away a little too much. Either way, it looks like another popcorn blockbuster from Marvel with a good balance of action, comedy; and of course, enlarged ants playing the drums.
You want to go deep with this trailer? YouTube movie nerd queen Beyond The Trailer breaks down each shot in the trailer and what it means in general for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
