Though Love and Mestel declined to comment on specifics, a source close to the deal tells Rolling Stone that Mestel has likely paid in excess of $50 million for the rights.
Thus far, the tracks have been notably absent from corporate ad campaigns and blockbuster action-movie soundtracks.
"
We're going to remain very tasteful, and we're going to [retain] the spirit of Nirvana and take Nirvana places it's never been before," says Love. "My goal is to keep the music very true to who the songwriter was and what his passions and tastes would be," Mestel adds, "and to work through Courtney to figure out exactly the best way to go about exposing his music to a new youth culture to a new generation."

Does it mean that they are going to be re-releasing old Nirvana songs which have been touched up or is it going to be never before heard stuff?
Confused much.

So ... to console myself, I'm just going to look at this again. It captures the true spirit of Courtney (known forever in this house as "that pig")

Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.

I don't blame her for doing it. It's not like she could ever hope to appreciate what it means to write a song half as good as a Nirvana song...so she might as well get paid.

I don't really care about commercials or anything, I just hope they start trying to make money by selling the remaining unreleased stuff and re-packaging Nervermind and In Utero as two disc sets with live shows, b-sides or demos added. Yes, we will probably hear some Nirvana on commercials now, but I'll take it if we get more music being released.

Good one. Everyone bashes her and rightfully so. I actually enjoyed some of her music with Hole. I know I'm in the minority here.

I heard somewhere it was 'fairly likely' that Kurt wrote most of their first record. Anybody else hear the same thing?
edit: I forgot to mention Courtney Love is a stupid bitch for hanging on to that shit for so long. She had shit all to do with the music and should have sold the writes to Dave and Chris long ago.
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
That's what I figured, but everyone has different taste. I guess I enjoyed the raw energy in her voice. She's one of the few female singers that I can actually tolerate listening to. Don't know why, just don't like a lot of chick rock.

Doubtful, because Hole's first album, Pretty On the Inside, is horrible. Unless of course you are refering to Live Through This, which I heard the same thing about. Not sure if it's true though.
Bashing Courtney Love is so easy and lame to me. She's like the Yoko of our generation. I try to Keep in mind that Kurt was the one who was the suicidal junky that bailed on an entire generation.
Just saying ...
in doing so he let nirvana leave on top.
