K Records' Courtney Love was a duo consisting of Lois Maffeo and Pat Maley, whose output was limited to a few short EPs and singles in 1990 and 1991 and some later compilation appearances. There's nothing else to say about the duo, so here's "Uncrushworthy" from the EP of the same name.
Wait, what?
Reports vary as to the name's origin. Maffeo claims it came "out of nowhere", Love claims she and Maffeo were roommates and Maffeo found the name in her diary, which she stole, while an unsourced claim goes that the two were indeed roommates, but came up with the name together. Another unsourced claim states that Love and Maffeo were never roommates and that Love angrily told K boss Calvin Johnson to force the duo to cease and desist. In any case, Maffeo began her solo career under the name Lois soon after. Love didn't release anything under her own name until 2004's America's Sweetheart. Snail Mail covered "The 2nd Most Beautiful Girl in the World" from the Uncrushworthy EP in 2018.
