Love takes over radio show

Rocker Courtney Love is taking over digital radio station BBC 6 Music for a day later this month.

Love will pick her favourite songs, openly discuss her tragic relationship with late husband Kurt Cobain, and play rare recordings by her former band Hole and Cobain's group Nirvana.

The singer, who has chosen "a lot of old '60s stuff", says, "I'm doing a teaching exercise. I want people to learn things.

"I've made a list, checked it twice, and I found myself living in the past."

Dance star Moby and British rock band Oasis are also due to take over the Music Selector series in December.
