Drawing on over 25 hours of previously unreleased audio interviews, Schnack attempts to rediscover the man behind the myth."

![]() This season, the goal is to find a lead vocalist for Supernova - a band featuring Jason Newsted, Gilby Clarke and Tommy Lee. On the first elimination show, contender Dilana performed an explosive cover of Nirvana's Lithium. From a Houston Chronicle story published yesterday about the singer and her performance: "Of the 15 singers cast, Dilana has drawn some of the highest praise from the show's judges, first for a freaked-out version of Nirvana's Lithium, then for the haunting Middle Eastern vibe she gave Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. Last week she unleashed the Cranberries' dramatic Zombie, which judge Dave Navarro deemed a 'give-you-chills' performance." Full story here, courtesy of chron.com.

![]() A more controversial poll question is up now: Do you want Nirvana to re-unite with a new lead singer? It has long been the consensus that Nirvana ended with Kurt Cobain's death in 1994 and that a re-union of some sorts would never happen. The remaining members of the band have not expressed any interest in this either -- quite the contrary. However, I thought it would be interesting to get a fresh perspective from the fans on the issue. Especially in light of the fact that fellow Seattle grungers Alice in Chains recently re-united with a new lead singer (their original frontman Layne Staley died in 2002) and they are currently on a successful world tour. Click here for a story on MTV that brings you up to date with the other legendary bands from the "grunge" era. |

He admitted that he now suffers from wine hangovers, not from the brain-numbing post-Jack traumas of the past." Read more.

![]() Universal Music said the deal would allow music fans to access rare TV and radio footage from the BBC's archives of Universal signed acts [such as Nirvana]. The record label intends to augment physical releases with additional downloadable BBC tracks over the coming weeks, including music from Pulp, Billy Fury, Marianne Faithful, Fairport Convention and Nirvana. Nirvana appeared on the John Peel show a number of times, so it's possible that tracks from these sessions will be released. Read the full story here. |
