Takes a stab at explaining why her new album has yet to be released as promised
On Friday we received the latest missive written by Courtney Love and posted to her official My Space profile that attempted to explain why her new album, Nobody’s Daughter, was not released on January 1 as was promised. In that post, C. Love took her rambling to new heights and did everything BUT explain the reasons she reneged on her vow to release the album. Therefore, the duty has fallen to someone describing themselves as Courtney’s “Head Administrator of her Myspace” to explain to the world why the album was not released. In this new blogpost, the author (who clearly isn’t Courtney Love, which is evident by the clarity of the writing) goes on and on about how amazing the album really is, randomly gives movie reviews, refers to C. Love as “the most sincere and misunderstood person” they have ever met (and goes on to refer to her as “sober, clean, classy and very elegant and sophisticated and super intelligent” which calls said author’s integrity and sanity into question, IMHO) and in the end blames the album delay on “paranormal technical issues” in the studio … which, of course, means that ghosts ruined her release schedule (damn you, Kurt Cobain!). Here is the full text of this new blogpost, written by Courtney Love’s official grand poobah of My Space … as always, all spelling and grammatical errors (which are few) are the author’s own:

Nobody’s Daughter
Hi guys, This is Courtney Love’s Head Administrator of her Myspace and I wanted to address some of your questions regarding Courtney’s album that was suppose to be released on Jan 1 on her CourtneyLove.com site. Courtney had shot that Elle cover a few months ago and YES she had scribbled, Jan 1st as the online release date. That was the plan, to give you guys a gift on the first day of the new years…but guess what kids, that obviously did not happen. Some of you guys have expressed your utmost disappointment and I don’t blame you for feeling let down, some angry and sad, and as Courtney’s Myspace administrator, I felt the need to come on and address the matter. The fact is, Courtney Love is a true artist, and as most true artist, the true artist simply communicates from within. That special place that Courtney holds so deep, especially for her fans is a really honest haven that exhibits skill, versatility, self-discipline, formal and conceptual rigor, and a commitment to excellence. A commitment to giving you guys the best she HAS and WILL give you.
Today I saw two films , The Wrestler and Revolutionary Road, both by directors that don’t churn out factory made films every year. Not the remake, silly putty kind of directors but the guys that make movies with true integrity. I left the Arclight today on a cloud for these films packed a emotional wallop that left me stunned.
Courtney’s Album Nobody’s Daughter will leave you feeling the same way. The same way any director, musician, painter who takes their time to make art that leaves a impression that doesn’t escape the memory instantly, but sears and burns.
I feel sad for the fact that some of you guys have expressed disappointment and feel let down but Courtney Love really is truly one of the most and I don’t mean to say this in a ass kissing way, because it’s all true…
Courtney Love is one of the most sincere and misunderstood person I have ever met in my life. I have spoken to her on the phone, met her many times and if you think she’s the cooky cherry koo koo bananas kinda person that comes on here and blogs like she’s high or drunk think again! Courtney is sober, clean, classy and very elegant and sophisticated and super intelligent. Everything the editor of Elle said was true.
I was very honored when Courtney invited me to her rehearsals in the valley last summer and all those demos like she has mentioned in her blogs are totally different and wow 300 times better, what you think you have heard you will be totally surprised. The RAGE is there and man oh man I sat that listening with a grin thinking to myself, man I was never a really big fan of Courtney Love but you better bet your g-damn dollar I am now after listening to her hard at work in the studios with some new songs that will just leave you breathless like the first time you listened to Live Through This or Celebrity Skin.
The sweet melodic rush that hooks and sweeps you is there, but Courtney also brings back the ROCK in ways you guys can’t even imagine.
Courtney is going to deliver, she WILL not make you wait another year or 5, but I can tell you one thing..she will present you with the grandest gift of all if you are a true fan you will understand and appreciate the delays for Courtney is a perfectionist at her very best.
Sam Mendes who directed “Revolutionary Road” made his mark in 1999 with American Beauty, since then he has only directed 2 other films leading up to this latest masterpiece, I recommend you guys see it when it goes wide on Jan 23.
Darren Aronofsky, 9 years ago directed my fave film of all time “Requiem for a Dream, today I saw his latest masterpiece “The Wrestler”, he did a film called The Fountain in 2006,
I walked out stunned by Mickey Rourke’s incredible performance and was glad the director took his time and churned out another deeply affecting beautiful piece of work that moved me and rocked me to the core.
Thank you for being patience again, Sometimes we all hit little snags on the road which causes us to take the back roads and unfortunately Courtney’s new album was not released online today as she had scribbled on Elle, but lots of things get delayed in life and I promise you, this is one delay you will not regret waiting for..
Nobody’s Daughter is TRUE PERFECTION! I am not kidding you guys, I wish I could share with you a small piece of what’s to come. It’s smashing!
Here are some reasons why the album was delayed ( and we are not sugarcoating it kids )
The Studio that Courtney and her band were using to record had some paranormal technical issues and had to be moved from one studio to another studio right around the holidays due to some technical sound issues that everyone, including Beinhorn who is a master and a genius was not happy with. Courtney and crew could not hear between guitars. Sound and vocal mixings have to be completed still to perfection.
if Courtney had it her way she would have it the studios sound checked first but it was originally use as a hip hop rap studio so the acoustics were all fucked up.
The Artwork is pretty much done..Courtney has 30 million dollars in sponsorships,
from a prominent feminine hygiene/menstrual company and a prominent tequila company ??? and Courtney doesn’t even understand that part! and many more companies etc
Courtney will keep you updated on her album release, but don’t worry
the wait at the DMV will always be longer.
XOXO
Sincerely
Courtney’s Myspace Administrator
I leave you guys with the end chorus to Santagold’s genius song “LES Artistes”
Chorus
Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I’m ‘a make this
something worth dreaming of
Well, at least we finally get an explanation that kinda sorta makes sense. I’m still not entirely sure what “paranormal technical issues” really means but I hope it’s a problem that can be fixed soon. I’m not entirely sold by this snow job but I am even more intrigued by this new album. Just because one of her web minions calls it (most likely while she is standing behind and watching while this post was typed up) doesn’t mean that it is so … even still, despite her looniness I think Courtney has it in her to make some good music. We’ll see … in the meantime, we’ll have to wait until C. Love’s paranormal issues get cleared up. My hope is that the album will be released this month … tho, I’m worried by the line in this post that reads “she WILL not make you wait another year or 5″ which may, of course, mean just that :(
