Nirvana music to start showing up in commercials, TV shows

Nirvana's music will soon begin showing up in commercials and television programs, thanks to Courtney Love's recent decision to sell a portion of the rights to the band's catalog. According to Forbes, four Nirvana songs will be heard in an upcoming episode of CSI: Miami for starters. Love's attorney, Peter Asher, recently told the Chicago Tribune that the licensing of the band's songs was not strictly for financial reasons, explaining, "The decisions we make have nothing to do with money one way or the other. It's a matter of, is this a cool show, is this a movie we'd like to be a part of? If it's a tiny independent movie but it makes sense, we might let them use (a song) for almost nothing."

Love is the widow of Nirvana frontman and principal songwriter Kurt Cobain, who killed himself in April of 1994. There's no word on whether Cobain is rolling in his grave at the latest news.

Meanwhile, a trailer for Nirvana's upcoming DVD, Live! Tonight! Sold Out!, has popped up online. The disc, out on November 14th, is the band's first-ever stand-alone DVD and is a reissue of the home video that was originally released on VHS and laserdisc in November of 1994.
