Does anyone under 30 even give a shit about the whole Kurt Cobain/Guitar Hero 5 avatar controversy? This wouldn't have even happened if Courtney Love could refrain from signing her name to legal documents in exchange for large sums of money. Anyways, here's some Nirvana news that has nothing to do with plastic instruments: two pretty cool Nirvana releases on November 3. First is a delxue reissue of Bleach courtesy of Sub Pop to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's debut that will also include a previously unreleased 1990 concert. Geffen joins the act with Live From Reading – an authorized release of the band's famous UK festival appearance. Unlike the bootleg DVD issued earlier this year, the Geffen version will feature color-correction from the original film.

You can see Henry Rollins' (pictured left) impressive return to acting in the new season of the FX biker drama Sons of Anarchy. He plays a wealthy white supremacist crossing paths with the titular biker gang. The season premiere is several weeks old, so I don't think I'm unleashing a spoiler when I tell you his character does something not so nice to Peggy Bundy.

More news after the break, including what Jawbreaker's Blake Schwarzenbach is up to, the Public Image Ltd. reunion, new albums from Social Distortion and Grinderman, and more!
