_____________________________________________________ The Nirvana Fan Club Newsletter - # 02 - June 6, 1998 ----------------------------------------------------- Introduction ============ Hey there and welcome to the 2nd newsletter. The subscribers list is growing rapidly and currently the list has nothing less than 568 readers now! Pretty good considering that the list has been up for only two weeks. There haven't been a whole lot of updates to my site since the last newsletter but there are a few changes and a little bit of Nirvana related news ... Please excuse me if you received this newsletter twice. I've had a little trouble with the e-mail client lately. If you didn't get to read the first newsletter then I will put it online very soon, along with this one and the ones to come in the future. Enjoy! Site Updates ============ The most obvious change is the fact that I have removed the comments form from the main page. The reason I removed it is because I, basically, got tired of the people writing "Nirvana rules", "Nirvana sucks", "I love Kurt Cobain" .. etc. I'll add it again later, though, but it will be a little more 'hidden' so hopefully the comments will be a little more interesting. But I have received a lot of nice poems and other things like that over the years and that's pretty good. I replaced the comments box with the sign up form for this newsletter, which was previously located in the bottom of the main page. Anyway, I changed the news section a little bit and finally I removed the bootleg forum's WWWBoard. It wasn't used that much and some of the posts were pretty meaningless. So if traders have something they want to post - they can do it on the main WWWBoard instead [ http://www.nirvanaclub.com/wwwboard/index.html ] I've had some technical problems with this board lately but I hope I can get it fixed soon enough. Although I changed the script for the counter, it still resets sometimes which is extremely annoying but I can roughly remember the current number of hits ... unless I've been 'gone' or something. Oh, I just got an award from the guys at Polaris Music for the "Best Music Site". I'm also affiliated with Polaris, so you can click on their banner from my main page and purchase cheap Nirvana CDs there :) Don't forget to click on my link to the Amazon bookstore in order to visit their site which features many cool Nirvana books, including "Come as you are: The Story of Nirvana" which is probably the best book to get if you are a fan of the band seeking information. I think that's about all the changes I've made, nothing special but what the hell ... Nirvana News ============ Krist Novoselic, the bassist of Nirvana, have apparently re-joined the re-united Sweet 75 who broke up a while ago. It was never really official that they DID break up. All we got of information about that was Yva saying they broke up. Hmm, but now they are apparently back together (according to Opinion Magazine), so it will be interesting to see what the band will do in the future .. maybe another album is on the way from the guys. Chad Channing's new band "The Methodists" have released their first CD "Cookie" and again I can encourage everyone to go out and buy it since it is a really great album. Don't buy it just because the band features Chad Channing, but because it is a great band who makes great music. The infamous "Kurt and Courtney" movie should be broadcasted on BBC sometime in the fall .. maybe earlier. More news about this as I get it. Speaking of Courtney - she recently attacked some woman taking a picture of her at some fashion show. She got sued by the journalist and went to court on May 28th. More information on Opinion Magazine's website [ http://www.opinionmagazine.com ] Misc Stuff ========== The price for Kurt and Courtney's house in Seattle, WA was 3 million US dollars. I don't know if the house has been sold yet but I guess so since Courtney gave it up for sale a long time ago .. .
