Love is on the air at BBC 6 Music

Courtney Love Singer Courtney Love is to run digital network BBC 6 Music for a day, picking her favourite songs and discussing how she met her late husband Kurt Cobain.

Rarely-heard session tracks by Cobain's group Nirvana and Love's own band, Hole, will be among those heard on the radio station on 11 December.

Oasis and Moby will also take charge of 6 Music for a day each next month.

Love has had access to the entire BBC library, and said she had picked "a lot of old '60s stuff" to play on-air.

As well as the Beatles and Elvis Presley, songs by New Order, REM and the Bangles are among her choices.

"I'm doing a teaching exercise. I want people to learn things," she said.

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

There will also be a documentary about the New wave scene in Liverpool, where Love mixed with artists such as Julian Cope and Echo and the Bunnymen in the early 1980s.
