Iggy, Bowie et al.: "Kurt Cobain – About A Son" soundtrack

Big names for the soundtrack for the forthcoming Kurt Cobain movie About A Son.

Kurt's cuts

Ok, so you listen to Nirvana, but what did Kurt Cobain like? His dream compliation features tracks by the Pixies, The Sex Pistols, and, bless him, Jad Fair:

I like to listen to Jad Fair and Half Japanese with headphones walking around shopping malls, in the heart of American culture. I just think that, if people could hear this music right now, they'd melt, they wouldn't know what to do, they'd start bouncing off the walls and hyperventilating. So I turn up the music really loud and pretend it was blasting through the speakers on the malls.
