Clearly, Sky Ferreira read and absorbed Idolator’s roundup of The 50 Best Songs Of 1994 we published yesterday, because when she hit the stage at Los Angeles’ Belasco Theater in the evening, she and boyfriend Zachary Cole Smith treated lucky concert-goers to a rousing and properly moody cover of Hole‘s “Asking For It.” The song first appeared on Courtney Love & Co.’s seminal 1994 album Live Through This, along with other classic tracks like “Doll Parts” and “Miss World.”

Here on stage, Sky appears decked out in a black leather jacket, black skirt and black stockings. As for her boyfriend, well — with the lighting effects low, you could almost swear it looks like the ghost of Kurt Cobain hovering in the shadows.
