NFC News Krist ends protest candidacy
From contactmusic.com: Former NIRVANA bassist KRIST NOVOSELIC has given up his bid to change political policy in his home state of Washington - insisting he has made his point.

The grunge rocker entered the race to become county clerk in Wahkiakum County earlier this month (03Jun09) on behalf of the Grange Party.

Novoselic decided to run for office in a bid to urge Washington officials to change the state's policy on allowing candidates to name which political party they are affiliated to - even fictional ones.

He added that the recently implemented rule allows electoral candidates to "confuse voters".But the musician has now decided to drop out of the running for the job.

He wrote in his Seattle Weekly blog on Friday (11Jun09) that by running under the Grange Party - a civic organisation he heads - he made it "crystal clear: It's wrong for me to drag a private association unwittingly onto the public ballot."

NFC News Krist Novoselic runs for office!
Nirvana's former bassist is running for clerk of a rural county to protest Washington state's method of letting candidates name their own party affiliation.

Krist Novoselic is running for clerk of Wahkiakum County in western Washington.

Novoselic is head of his local chapter of the Grange, a civic organization. His election paperwork declares that he's running under the 'Grange Party' banner, even though the Grange isn't a political party.

Novoselic tells The Daily World newspaper that he's protesting the state's system that lets candidates say what party they prefer when running for office. He says that's confusing for voters and lets candidates appropriate the names of private associations."

NFC News The Rough Guide to Nirvana: Press release
THE ROUGH GUIDE TO NIRVANA

June 15, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Bleach, an album that unknowingly would launch three young Seattleites into international fame. Even 15 years after Kurt Cobain’s death, Nirvana continues to maintain and grow a devoted fan base. The Rough Guide to Nirvana tells the story of this extraordinary, all too short-lived group, from Krist Novoselic’s early influences, to the last days of Kurt Cobain and the rise of Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters. This guide is the essential companion to one of modern music’s greatest bands. “Come as You Are” and relive the birth of grunge all over again.

“Their trajectory went from wildly improbable, to amazing… to tragedy. What was left was their music, which has refused to go away, because there is something real there that people want, something that the sterile, overproduced corporate-machine-made cotton candy that dominates our pop charts is lacking.”
- Jack Endino, from the foreword to The Rough Guide to Nirvana

NFC News Blog post on official Nirvana MySpace
Earlier last month, the following was posted on the official Nirvana MySpace:

"Thanks Nirvana fans for all the support!

Some of you may have read a story in a UK publication, about the 1992 Reading Festival show being released on DVD in May. This is not true! Save your hard earned cash! This is an illegal bootleg, not produced from the original masters, or sanctioned by the band/estate.

The official Nirvana ‘Live At Reading’ DVD (to be announced in a future posting) will include restored video with pristine visual quality, re-mastered audio from the original audio masters in TRUE 5.1 surround sound, and a wealth of exclusive bonus features.

We will deliver you a package worthy of this landmark concert that will put any inferior bootlegs to shame. Well worth the wait! Stay tuned for more official updates.
