Courtney Love reopens her Hole

For textual reasons too difficult to discern without hearing the album, Courtney Love has decided that her next album is going to be released under the Hole band name.

Perhaps by this is means it doesn't sound like a solo Courtney album - although since solo Love is generally music that sounds too weedy to stand alongside her former band's work, maybe that doesn't mean too much.

Melissa auf der Maur appears on the record, although only providing backing vocals; Larrikin Love's Micko is in charge of the guitar. So it's not like it's a classic line-up.

Of course, this is Courtney Love we're talking about. So everything could change within minutes.
