Billy Corgan

or controlling the carrier, more accurately.

Yeah, he would.

i wholly & unironically support this

very excited for a recording

Love the photo with this article:

In that Corgan has the dazed look of a man who doesn't realize that everyone else behind is not the original line-up, precisely because he doesn't remember driving them all away.

haha, also i like how a pumpkins fan who checked out 20 years ago could see that photo and think "okay, yea, i don't remember the rest of the band looking like that but i guess they're the same members"

I won't be impressed until he submits a life-size sculpture of himself made out of butter for judging in the Iowa State Fair

Live Stream Billy Corgan's Eight-Hour Ambient Jam Inspired by Siddhartha:

Anyone else watching this and following Dan Lopatin's live tweets? I guess this is suddenly my Friday night...

Although I have to say that I'm not sure I'm going to last more than 10 minutes of this.

i'm about an hour in. it's not terrible

The Siddhartha audio samples are pretty... literal, as interpretations go.

yeah, the sections where he turns off the text are much much better

I know it's kind of a cheap shot, but Billy's gained some weight, right?

"quietly dangling hand" its as if Hesse knew Corgan would one day patch that OSC!

Ergh, why did he go for the Australian audio book?

Beats.

lopatin is killin' it

He decided to do something else for about an hour or so, but I'm back now.

Errr... meant "I" was doing something else - although not sure I've missed anything either.

yeah that was great. he seems pretty ilxy

was lopatin telling the truth when he said the whole thing went under an hour

I like the guy's tea shop, though.

I'm currently working with Yamaha. And I hope that we might be able to build kind of a signature BC acoustic.

How excited are you for the new Star Wars movie?

I'm very excited.
I have a feeling that these new series of movies (particularly because of the technology that is available now) will finally realize the vision that George Lucas must've had when he began.

trolling or playing to the fedoras?

he didnt seem eager to play along elsewhere in the ama so i think he really likes star wars

That's such a great answer. I'm going to spend all morning trying to imagine a collaboration with Rob Crow.

Couldn't you just make a poll?

There was a whole bunch of discussion about this on the Smashing Pumpkins thread, iirc.
