Krist Novoselic quits music business

Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic has announced his retirement from the music business, saying he will focus on politics.

Krist Novoselic, former bassist for Nirvana and founder of the alt-country band Eyes Adrift (formed with Meat Puppets guitarist Curt Kirkwood and Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh in 2001) has said that he is retiring from the music business.

A post on the bands website says: "I quit. I can't deal. I can't read the magazines, listen to the radio or watch music television without feeling like I've just come in from outer space. I just don't get it and I probably never did. My lot in life is that every band I've ever been in just falls apart,"

He said he plans to continue to work in politics and hopes to keep jamming with Kirkwood and Gaugh, but says he has no plans to release any more records.
