Love
On The Air At BBC 6
Music
Courtney
Love
is to run digital
network BBC
6
Music
for a day, picking her
favourite songs and
discussing how she met
her late husband Kurt
Cobain.
Rarely-heard
session tracks by
Cobain's group Nirvana
and Love's own band,
Hole, will be among
those heard on the radio
station on 11
December.
Oasis
and Moby will also take
charge of 6 Music for a
day each next
month.
Courtney
Love has had access to
the entire BBC library,
and said she had picked
"a lot of old '60s
stuff" to play
on-air.
As
well as the Beatles and
Elvis Presley, songs by
New Order, REM and the
Bangles are among her
choices.
"I'm
doing a teaching
exercise. I want people
to learn things," she
said. "I've made a list,
checked it twice, and I
found myself living in
the
past."
There
will also be a
documentary about the
New wave scene in
Liverpool, where Love
mixed with artists such
as Julian Cope and Echo
and the Bunnymen in the
early 1980s.
