Dylan Carlson

He didn't tell Courtney about it.

and he had his best friend Dylan Carlson purchase the rifle and first set of ammunition.

He trusted Dylan to hold onto it so it wouldn't get taken away from him again.

Courtney kept calling the police, and every time they would show up, they'd take Kurt's guns.

But when something serious is breaking like this in the rock world, I think it's important to cover.

So the audio you're about to hear, it's not the greatest recording, but it's an interview with an anonymous source speaking to Joseph Burns, a man who claims to have been at the house you're seeing on screen where Kurt Cobain died on the night of April 5th, 1994.

The men he discusses in this audio are Dylan Carlson, a one-time roommate of Cobain, and Mark Lanigan, an artist from the Seattle scene and musical collaborator with Cobain who died in 2022.

Okay, so this first clip, Joseph is describing what he allegedly saw outside the driveway looking up at the house.

He did.

So the guy who did it, his name is Dylan Carlson, and he plays in a band called Earth.

He was also an addict, and he was supposed to be Kurt's best friend, but that's the person who led Kurt up to the greenhouse and made sure that he never came down again.

The other person, Joe, said he doesn't know him.

the shotgun across his chest.

The sick part? The house had been searched multiple times in the days before, by Dylan Carlson, private investigator Tom Grant, and the nanny Michael DeWitt, and not one of them thought to check the greenhouse.

They walked right past the room where he was rotting for two and a half days.

His body was found in a greenhouse?

Michelle, who killed Kurt?

Well, uh, the witness that's there alleges that his friend Dylan Carlson, um, took Kurt up to the greenhouse and, um, he was there with another guy.

We don't know who that person is.

Um, however, those two, uh, we believe, gave Kurt a hot shot and then shot him.

And that was right before Kurt went to rehab.

So we're talking about, you know, five, six days before we believe Kurt died.

But the thing about that is that the only person to vouch for that is Dylan Carlson.

And we know that he was, you know, we believe he was involved in the murder plot.

I didn't even really write the review at all, but Stinking Lizaveta from Philadelphia, their brand new album, Cassandra, Prophet of Doom, on Philadelphia's SRA Records.

Stinking Lizaveta, like, psychedelic rock drone doom metal, kind of similar to Earth with Dylan Carlson, but, like, better lead guitar and less assholery.

And...

They just sent this to me as a gift, which is super nice.

And, and I do think that...

I mean, one, one f- one thought that I had in using that name also was it's sort of like, you know, Dylan Carlson named Earth after, I think it was, like, an, another name that Black Sabbath used-

Right

...

when they were starting, right? And then- S- uh, Steven O'Malley's group Sun took the, that name from the amps that they used, which, uh, they started using because Dylan Carlson used them.

And I, so I liked that idea of there being, like, continuity with your influences, but not being imitative about it, you know?

Yeah, yeah.
