Gene Simmons may not be too pleased with Radiohead's recent digital-distribution experiment, but the still-unsigned-to-a-major Courtney Love is thinking of going the In Rainbows route with her next record. Only she wants to one-up Thom Yorke and the gang by releasing her "A-list material"--and not a bunch of cobbled-together tracks that have been percolating for a while and that got lapped up by the Internet as OMG THE GREATEST THING EVER anyway--on her own terms, and not just as a "promotional stunt for the CD," and after she does Oprah. more

In May 2000, Love spoke in New York at the Digital Hollywood online entertainment conference, giving a speech criticizing the major American record labels. The speech was then reproduced on the news site Salon.com[34], and was, at the time, their most popular article to date.
Those who have dismissed Love as an opportunist plotting pop stardom on the coattails of her famous husband should consider the market potential of selling female pain to a public with no stomach for bratty women who don't know their place. Live Through This is not going to crack MTV or commercial radio, but it is blood on the tracks and one of the great records of 1994.
