In 1991, Nirvana and Hole were on tour in the U.K. and Kurt Cobain’s flirtation with Courtney Love was ongoing but musician Mary Lou Lord believed she was Kurt’s girlfriend. When Lord visited the U.K., Cobain couldn’t bring himself to tell her in person so when Lord switched on Channel 4 to watch Nirvana perform on the U.K. show “The Word”, she heard Kurt announce,

“I just want everyone in this room to know that Courtney Love, of the pop group Hole, is the best fuck in the world.”

I guess Kurt didn’t think much of Mary Lou Lord…Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love sent this fax in 1993 as a response to a profile that appeared in a magazine about Mary Lou Lord and her brief but intense relationship with Kurt around the time that Nevermind came out.

But Everett True’s Nirvana: The Biography confirmed that for a time Kurt was telling people how in love he was with Mary Lou, and even dreaming about moving to Boston to be with her.

In 1992, at the height of his Nirvana fame, Kurt Cobain moved to an apartment in Los Angeles’ Fairfax district.  Kurt put down his guitar, picked up a paintbrush and contemplated a life without music.  For several months he painted using acrylics and oils, but at times he mixed his own blood, semen, cigarette ash and fecal matter into his art.

Here’s a few photo’s of Kurt inside the apartment…

After some research and some help from Kurt Cobain fan Keith Kuramoto we have found the building where Kurt and Courtney lived.

448 North Spaulding Avenue
Los Angeles, Ca 90036

Apparently, the Cobains moved out when they came home from a tour to find that the bathtub had a major leak that had flooded most of the apartment.   Coincidently, that same bathroom is where Kurt wrote the song “Heart Shaped Box.”

Kurt Cobain made this ink on paper painting crica 1982 while at Aberdeen High School, Washington and signed ‘COBAIN’ on the lower right.  It sold for £13,750 (approx $17,000 USD) at auction on November 21, 2009.

Them Crooked Vultures have joked about how drummer Dave Grohl was supposedly “rushed to doctor” because he’d overdosed on caffeine – by drinking too much coffee.  Josh Homme and John Paul Jones, posted a video online explaining Grohl’s coffee-drinking habits.

“Two weeks after this video was shot, Dave was rushed to doctor due to the onset of unwanted physical effects caused by too much caffeine. For reals. He was kind of a mess.”

The message continues, “Since then he has reduced his intake of the super delicious hot beverage to a healthier level.”

UPDATE:

Dave confirms it wasn’t a joke and was actually real…

“We were in the studio making a record and I was drinking a lot of coffee,” he told Absolute Radio.  He added: “I was doing Vultures stuff at night, Foo Fighters stuff during the day and I had a newborn at home so I was sleeping two-three hours a night on an air mattress in a guest bedroom. And yeah, I had too much coffee, I started to get chest pains so I went to the hospital and they told me to stop drinking the coffee.”

After the show she made her way to a backstage party, where she beelined for Kurt.
