Talk:Krist Novoselic/Archive 1

Contention and Conscious
I just linked his blog, "Contention and Conscious," in the "External Links".

I have no idea how tall he is but he's not 'He stands 76 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) tall.' Can someone who knows how tall he is change it Howphil 00:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Is there anyway we could make this article a little more encyclopedia-like? --unsigned

dj k-no
I removed the previous citation, and replaced it with a citation-needed. The previous citation was to http://www.coastradio.org/djkno.html. This page meerly proves that that "DJ K-No" exists. Not that it's Krist Novoselic. 67.188.7.78 11:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

"Suicide"
Concering Cobain's death, i think we're overly politically correct if we refer to it as "alleged" suicide. Yes there are conspiracy theories, like for many other famous deaths, but do we really need to mention every point of view as soon as there is a [minority] dissenting view? --unsigned

I recommend we stick to "suicide" and link to it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Cobain#Addiction_and_death --unsigned

(Above signatures added; moved top comment from bottom. --Jack (Cuervo) 06:00, 16 September 2005 (UTC))

I agree with the link, but I think something like "(alleged) suicide" would work better. --Jack (Cuervo) 06:00, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Where he eats
Anyway we could mention that he frequents the Columbian Cafe in Astoria, Oregon, and has lent his jukebox to the cafe's bar: the voodoo lounge? Or stuck a fly in Jake Danners Beard while sucking up sum Organiclly Spiced Placenta from the front of the Cadillac grill.

Make a Miscellaneous or a Trivia tab- add that (if you have a source) --Mynabull 00:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Accordi"o"n
First: If you are going to add something, at least spell it correctly. Second: CITE, CITE, CITE!

Yeah apparently putting a fly in shaky jakes beard- right under uriahs organic placenta breakfasts. Bold text

Pic
Where did the pic go? This one sucks!

Flipper
11/9/06 info from email from Steve DePace: "We are off to UK and Iriland in Dec with Krist Novoselic on bass. We are doing a bunck of dates with The Melvins as well as a festival date with Iggy and Sonic Youth."

Picture
I haven't found any eligible pics, but if you do, please post it. The article needs a picture. Savagepine 22:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Height
I read he was 7'2. Nukleoptra 11:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * i read on the list of tall men article that he is 6'7". he towers over kurt in videos and i think kurt is normal height...

IMDB has him listed at 6' 7". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.71.137 (talk) 06:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

The bassist? I think not...
I have always understood that Cobain was the bassist. Maybe this is vandalism, maybe just an error. I don't have time to look right now, but someone should fix this if it is wrong. Hurrmic 14:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I would highly recommending spending three seconds looking it up before posting something like that. -- ChrisB 22:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You are correct, ChrisB, I was clearly too hasty, did not research it, and should not have posted that comment. i don't usually rush to judgement like that, and I obviously can no longer entirely rely on my aging brain for accurate recall. I don't know how I came to think Cobain was the bassist. My bad! Hurrmic 20:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

This article needs a section on politics
Novozelic created JAMPAC, an organisation whose purpose was to fight for freedom of speech for musical artists.

Novoselic has been particularly concerned with ballot access. He spoke about ballot access at the 2006 Libertarian National Convention.


 * He was scheduled to speak at the WA libertarian party convention this past saturday, 3/28, if anyone wants to look into it and add info Tuggler (talk) 14:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

He wrote a book titled, if I remember correctly, Of Grunge and Government.

He has donated $250 to Ron Paul for his 2008 bid for the presidency.

He is, I believe, a registered Democrat.

So, yeah, a politics section is much needed for this article.

Allixpeeke (talk) 05:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Definitely should be a politics section as it has been part of his public life. However, as I recall he formed JAMPAC in the mid-90s, not recently as the article currently implies. Also, I recall him using his celebrity to draw attention to the Serb-Croation war, which might be worth adding if someone is knowledgable. CAVincent (talk) 01:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Picture
Needs to be cropped to show Novoselic only. Don't know how to do it myself but somebody does... Speedboy Salesman (talk) 14:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

this article is totally non sourced, and is laughable —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.194.120 (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I can only second that... both pictures right now are laughable. It looks like an explicit statement that Krist is almost invisible... on the first picture you have to guess who is Kirst and the second one is a good Kurt Cobain photograph, but nothing else... --Demon from Walmart (talk) 05:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I took a bunch of pictures of him this evening, uploaded them to Commons, and placed these and what was there before in Commons:Category:Krist Novoselic. I recommend Commons:Image:Krist Novoselic 15A.jpg (at right), but I leave it to someone else to select one to use. - Jmabel | Talk 06:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That's a good picture well done —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlie3322 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Diacritic?
What's with the diacritic over the "c" in his surname in several places in the article? As far as I know, this American-born person never used that form of his name. - Jmabel | Talk 06:36, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. It might be on his birth certificate (just guessing), but I don't recall ever seeing his name that way and he doesn't use that form on his current blog. If it can't be verified it should be removed. CAVincent (talk) 01:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Since no one else spoke up, and I am unable to find a single instance of the diacritic other than wikipedia or articles obviously derived from wikipedia, I have remove. CAVincent (talk) 20:36, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Foo Fighters Section
This is not accurate. There is a youtube video from 2009 interviewing krist in vancouver and he stated that Dave Ghrol never asked him to join foo fighers. Also I do not believe he ever sang backing vocals on one by one.. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8GmuZZH_YM&feature=related

Another source for references
Here is an article useful for people building this article up from the Washington State Legacy Project (state-based history program):

http://www.sos.wa.gov/legacyproject/oralhistories/KristNovoselic/default.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.19.22 (talk) 23:06, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Huh. Just came over here with the intent of providing the same link. If anyone decides to work further on this article, this is a very good source, especially on Novoselic's community and political involvements. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 01:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

2008 and Ron Paul
Novoselic donated money to the Paul campaign in 2008. See: http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/krist-novoselic.asp?cycle=08

But he also voted for a Democratic primary. See end of this piecehttp://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2008/02/krist_novoselic_presidential_p.php

So edit will reflect this. (99.121.59.221 (talk) 12:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

ok, the ccr thing is funny...
....but that's just exactly it. you've gotta be careful with what these guys say to media. the footnote goes to a book, but i'm still laughing. does anybody have secondary verification on that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.48.181.129 (talk) 00:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

He is underrated!
I think Krist deserves more in this Wikipedia page... I feel that people should contribute more and grow this page larger. He is an amazing player on bass, acoustic and accordion. So as you may... help with this maybe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanzatiwa (talk • contribs) 10:47, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Death?
Is this really his official page? https://www.facebook.com/KristNovoselicOfficial/ Waiting for WP:RS to confirm. - Scarpy (talk) 21:19, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Looks like the page was deleted. There's an archived version, but I think it was fake. https://web.archive.org/web/20200602211421/https://www.facebook.com/KristNovoselicOfficial/ - Scarpy (talk) 21:52, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
