Last month Courtney Love announced that her eternally delayed new album would be released under the moniker of her band Hole, news that did not sit well with the band’s former (?) guitarist Eric Erlandson. “We have a contract,” Erlandson told Spin last week. “She signed a contract with me when we decided to break up the band, which was like 2002 or something, so I really don’t have comment on it except that I know my part in that band. The way I look at it, there is no Hole without me. [Laughs] To put it blunt. Just on a business level.” Well, when you get blunt about business with La Love, you’re going to hear about it on the Internet a week later! Courtney put out some Tweets this morning in response to Erlandson’s claims:
uh i just hear that a former guitar player is saying i cant use my name for MY band, hes out of his MIND, he may want to check the trademark and his amex “Disease Model Tour” Bills, and umm, lets see his 99 usage of that amex and his 01 usage of wow 298K?198,000DOLLARS? Hole is MY Band MY name and MY Tradmark he also might want to check his TAXES versus my redone Taxes on a bogus ssn, and talk to @Perezhilton’s Crook CPA Accoutancy Firm COUGHS then VOMITS< who pay themselves something liek 350,000 a week and then dump 38,ooo into shell corps In 2006 Steves went and s corped the name HOLE INC noone knows where probably Deleware, But its NOT worth getting into illtell you that Buying me some Fish Fingers in 1989 is not really a concept i can relate too after stealing from me and particpating in stealing from mykid
Raise your hand if you want to hear more about the Perez Hilton allegations than anything else in that tirade? Yeah, me too. C’mon, Court, let’s all fight the real enemy together!

Q & A: Eric Erlandson [Spin]
I know this is the easiest, most overused joke, but I mean it in all sincerity: can somebody please translate?
OK, never mind….I think I figured it out. Sad to say that’s the hardest work I’ve done all day.
what does eric even DO these days, anyway?
Fish Fingers in 1989? Holy crap. That makes John Cusack’s feed (http://twitter.com/shockozulu) look coherent.
@ILL WITH THE COMPOSITION: Relaxes. Wouldn’t you?
Wait….is she saying she used Perez’s CPA?
Why have so many people charged things to her credit card. She made that claim against ryan adams, too. If i read that post correctly, that is.
Re “fish fingers”: I think Ms. Love is saying that any appeal Erlandson makes to the “old days” rings hollow in light of the way he’s (allegedly) screwed her since.
@drinkypuss: Was totally thinking the same thing.
@the_arcane_model: Re everything else in the paragraph: I have no fucking idea.
