In my case, it was podcasts with Billy Corgan and Shirley Manson (of Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage, respectively).

It alarms me to realize that Corgan was a more formally interesting songwriter in that period than Stipe was.

Rick Beato musing on a Billy Corgan comment on how AI is going to replace musicians.

Christ, everyone but Billy Corgan was bored 15 minutes into that but it just kept going and going and going...

I'm not saying Stipe is morally equivalent to Corgan (though: be careful how much research you do here).

And Corgan groomed some teen-aged fan to be his bride and is currently performing 7 hour meditation synthloop pieces to select audiences.

During the iTunes heyday, artists like Billy Corgan complained that selling individual songs for a dollar would be the death of the album.

Last week we had Scott Corgan guide us through Superstatic, the static file server behind Divshot.com.

Billy Corgan has said the same thing about upcoming Smashing Pumpkins releases.

Was it the length of the show, the aura of Billy Corgan (and his horrific aesthetics), renditions that somehow made the original versions worse?

Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins switched from EL-34's to Soviet KT-88 tubes in his Marshall giving him that super creamy distortion used in Siamese Dream.

>> It alarms me to realize that Corgan was a more formally interesting songwriter in that period than Stipe was.

It feels strangely cold and extremely "produced", Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins is an example of someone who has both the talent and the taste for making great music in my opinion.

I'm saying that, in the grim span from "Out of Time" to "Monster", Stipe was approximately as authentic as Corgan, and was a social scenester in the same way.

Adore, on the other hand, was the Pumpkins Kid A, a transition from "Shopping Mall Shoegazer" to gothy electronic (it gives me no pleasure to report that the album predates Kid A by 2 years, but may have been expedited by Corgan's hair loss).

Was just watching an interview of Billy Corgan (smashing pumpkins) on Rick Beato’s YouTube[1] last night where billy was lamenting the inevitable future where the “psychopaths” in the music biz will use ai and auto tune to churn out three chord non-music mumble rap for the youth of tomorrow, or something to that effect.

Watch his interviews with Elon Musk, Billy Corgan, Bob Saget, Edward Snowden, Bob Lazar, Bernie Sanders, etc.

Gish is awesome and Siamese Dream will always hold a special place in my heart, but I always felt like Mellon Collie was the start of Corgan's long, slow descent into self-indulgence.

Corgan thinks maybe it was the CIA, however the more obvious answer is this was fallout from the 1996 telecommunications act, which removed restrictions on how many radio stations a company was allowed to own in a set market.
