The first recording featuring the surviving members of Nirvana is part of a remarkable CD featuring an 11-year-old singer-songwriter.

Known as one of Kurt Cobain's favorite bands, The Stinky Puffs is led by Simon Fair Timony, step-son of legendary cult musician Jad Fair. The group's nine-track EP, A Little Tiny Smelly Bit Of The Stinky Puffs, includes four songs recorded with Nirvana's bassist and drummer, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, at a festival last July in Olympia, Wash.

The Stinky Puffs, which also features Cody Linn Ranaldo, son of Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo, is something of a family affair. The disc, which includes a guest appearance by Jad Fair, is being released through a company run in part by Simon's mother, Sheena Fair, who got her start working with Ralph Records, home of progressive weirdos The Residents.

Young Simon met Cobain after sending him a copy of his first single, released four years ago.
They became friends after Cobain wrote, in the liner notes to Nirvana's Incesticide, that receiving the record was one of his most rewarding experiences.

Cobain even agreed to record with the Stinky Puffs, a fact alluded to on the new CD's standout track, I'll Love You Anyway.

The startlingly honest song, which careens between anger and forgiveness, is dedicated to Cobain.
"When I was in Cathy's class my friend who I loved who was in a band in Seattle killed himself," Simon explains matter-of-factly in a note about the song.

"I loved him very much and I couldn't do anything to bring him back and I felt kind of like I should have written him more notes or gave him some more of my drawings or anything to think about something else that day. Then I wished he called to at least say goodbye, then I would have a chance to change his mind but now I know that was dumb to think that."

If that sounds like an impossibly mature conclusion for an 11-year-old, it's nothing compared to Simon's feelings about his father, who recently left the family.

"Just when I first started Hudson School my step-dad who I started the Stinky Puffs with said he was going to Maryland for a few days," he writes, "but then he never came home and then we found out he moved all his stuff out without telling us ... (my mom) said the most important thing was that it wasn't my fault and I told her, duh."

Krist is in the process of writing a book!
The book will be one part memoir, one part political platform, the bass player of Nirvana -- the most heralded and influential rock band of the past fifteen years -- tells the story of his own musical and political coming-of-age. From his relationship to Kurt Cobain to his evolution as a political activist, Novoselic's passion, intelligence, and integrity come shining through in this moving and inspirational book. With the exception of Kurt Cobain's posthumously released journals, this is the first book by a founding member of the legendary Nirvana.

Krist is getting married!
Krist Novoselic has applied for a marriage license through the Pierce County Auditor's office on Feb. 23. The female applicant is listed as 41-year-old artist Darbury Ayn Stenderu. The couple have been dating for over three years now.

Krist will be appearing on an American Music Magazine music compilation. It is slated to be released March 8th. The compilation is called No Depression: What it Sounds Like ( Vol. 1 ).  The disc opens with the late Johnny Cash's rendition of Willie Nelson's "The Time of the Preacher", featuring Krist on bass guitar. Soundgarden's Kim Thayill and Alice in Chains' Sean Kinney complete the star line-up

Krist Novoselic was present in Vancouver for two benefit rock concerts hosted by Music for America (an organization aiming to get more young people to vote). "Besides music, the concerts featured appearances by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, U.S. Rep. Brian Baird, and state attorney general and gubernatorial candidate Christine Gregoire.

The latest on Krist Novoselic's political activities: "Grunge-rock pioneer Krist Novoselic has decided against running for lieutenant governor, saying he wants to stay involved in progressive politics but 'the whole thing about running a campaign and being a public servant isn't the way to do it.' Instead, one of the founding members of Nirvana will concentrate on his work with Music for America, a group working to boost voter participation among young people. He also will keep up his efforts for election reform." Story courtesy of The Seattle Times. Read the complete article here.

The Washington newspaper Chinook Observer recently did a lengthy interview with Krist Novoselic, talking about music, politics and everything in between.

"The former bassist from Nirvana, Krist Novoselic, will be present at a free concert in Longview next Friday that aims to get young people registered to vote. 'I think Democracy is everybody's business,' said Novoselic, who grew up near Aberdeen and lives on the Southwest Washington coast. 'It's such an exciting year, and there's so much going on in our nation, in our world, and in our state.' The event, which will be held at the former Boardroom skate park on Commerce Avenue is part of 'Music for America.' It's a series of shows and voter registration drives that will be held across the country this spring and summer. The goal is to get 1 million people between the ages of 18 and 35 registered to vote by Oct. 14. U.S. Rep. Brian Baird, D-Vancouver, also is expected to attend the Longview event, which will be held the day before the Washington caucus. Novoselic, 38, said he started getting involved with voter registration drives 10 years ago. He came to Longview for a similar concert in 1998. He said he was disappointed in low voter turnout in the 2003 elections. Although registered voters in Washington typically have a higher participation rate than the national average, fewer than half of them voted less fall." Story courtesy of The Daily News. The event takes place at 8.30 PM this Friday on 1433 Commerce Ave. in Longview, WA. And, please, for the love of God - VOTE if you can! I don't live in the US but I think it's a disgrace to the democratic system that the voter turnout was so low in the last US Presidential elections. It's bad enough that Bush stole the election. VOTE!
