Courtney Love, Love, Love http://www.nme.com/news/111736.htm
COURTNEY LOVE has sung on a version of the song ’LOVE, LOVE, LOVE’ for the soundtrack to the upcoming film ’ADAM AND STEVE’.
The singer was asked by ex-Faith No More keyboardist and bandmate (Love briefly fronted the group) Roddy Bottum to work on the project. Bottum said: “Recording was a piece of cake. Courtney and I have been friends for over 20 years and we have a mutual respect for each other's craft. The song is a '40s big band sort of sound, not something you'd immediately associate with her style of singing.” He told Bilboard.com: “Courtney and I had done a project a couple years ago that involved reworking old jazz standards so when I approached her about this song I was able to reference what we'd done before and she understood. She's a total professional and compulsively fixates on a project until it's perfect." Originally a Judy Garland song was originally planned for inclusion but had to be removed. However, Bottum revealed that another big name was lined up to sing on the track, saying: “Pink was going to sing it. (She) would have done an amazing job, but I think Courtney brought something to the song that's absolutely, undeniably something only she could do." "The song accompanies an off-kilter, non-traditional, out-on-a-limb relationship and Courtney's wears that shoe pretty perfectly," he explained. "I feel like her voice is so recognizable in that specific way. She's pretty genius at f*cking with convention. The politics and the message of the film are a lot about that." The film follows the story of two men who meet in the 1980s, have a ill-fated first date and then meet again 15 years later and start a relationship. ’Adam and Steve’ is set to premiere in late April at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival. A release date for the soundtrack is yet to be finalised. | |

I have nothing to say other than I've always thought Roddy Bottum had one of the best names in the music industry. Not quite as good as Genesis P-Orridge or Robert Gotobed, but he's up there. | |

I don't have to make the choice. I like girls and I like boys. Love her! She's infinitely quotable. But seriously...I can't imagine Courtney Love doing this kind of song. | |

I love PTV's Towards the Infinite Beat - I don't dance to it(never danced in my life, honest to god) but it does make me nod my head up and down furiously. and Godstar is an ace piece of glam-pop. | |

There was talk of them bringing the Linda Lovelace musical to the screen a few years ago, but that didn't happen. | |
