>7.02 Nirvana/Courtney Love in bitter dispute over rights to song


According to several sources, a dispute has risen between the two surviving Nirvana members, David Grohl and Krist Novoselic, and Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, over the rights to old Nirvana recordings that may be used in the forthcoming Nirvana box set. Love has requested an injunction to stop the production of, among other songs, a recording of the song "You Know You're Right", a song peformed by Nirvana just months before Cobain's suicide. Novoselic claims Love is fighting the band to strengthen her own career, while Love claims she just wants the box set to be "done correctly". triple cycle theory will continue following this story; for more details, check out http://www.nirvanaclub.com/ and http://www.hole.com/.

>6.10 Sunny Day Real Estate calls it quits

In The Blue, the official Sunny Day Real Estate site, has confirmed that Sunny Day Real Estate has broken up for the second time. According to their report, the band was having management problems and also, Time Bomb Recordings, SDRE's label, was dropped from their parent company Arista, making it close to impossible to promote their future albums and fulfill their European Tour. The band decided to split after progress of the new album stagnated.

Dan Hoerner has two albums worth of written material that he will use in a future band. Jeremy Enigk will likely begin writing for a second solo album, and William Goldsmith may already have another band started. triple cycle theory will keep you updated on all future SDRE member projects.

>5.28 Possible release of Cornell/Rage collaboration in fall


From the unofficial Chris Cornell site:

SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE
In the ever-changing world of Rage Against the Machine, things are finally a little less superunknown. The band - whose future seemed foggy after frontman Zack de la Rocha quit last year to go solo - have confirmed they're forming a new group with ex-Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. The quartet has already written 21 songs and will soon enter the studio to record an album with producer Rick Rubin. "When these guys got together, it really sparked musically," says Cornell's manager, Jim Guerinot. "There was something both creatively and personally that was magic." Even more magical is the fact the the artists' labels, Epic and Interscope, will allow the project to go forward. "[Both labels] have met and have agreed to figure it out." says Guerinot. "They've assured us there won't be any holdup on their part." The album could be in stores as soon as this fall, although Cornell and Co. are still working on lyrics and arrangements and have yet to decide on a band moniker. How about Never Named?
