Hole's Live Through This

Hole's Live Through This | Anwen Crawford

Listening to the record on repeat, reliving my young self and her aggression and confusion, and lifting off the tarmac in SeaTac thinking: fuck yes, I Lived Through That.

Hole's Live Through This | Anwen Crawford

An album title for today's #musicaltitles. 33 1/3 is a Bloomsbury imprint specialising in short books about popular music. Anwen Crawford is one of my favourite writers about music and pop culture. She's so smart about Hole's music and Courtney Love's public image. This book looks at Live Through This in the context of girlhood, class, ugliness, desire and yes, Kurt Cobain. #maybookflowers @RealLifeReading

Leftcoastzen I have some of 33 and a third series, not that one , it's a great series,takes music seriously in the best way! 8y

batsy @Leftcoastzen I've read one or two others, but this is the only one I own. I agree! Smart, serious writing about music is such a pleasure. 8y

anyone who knows me even slightly knows that if i had had the opportunity to write this book then each chapter probably would have been the length of this short book. HOWEVER. it is very extremely rare that i read anything about mother love that not only does not make me hate the author, but has me nodding along as i go. for hole fans only? or at least the courtney-curious? probably. but for those of us who occupy that space? treasure.
