You'd think the bros in The Inc. would know how to navigate these waters more delicately

the white side, the poetry side, the corgan side

you'd really think they'd be on some blues hammer tip after all that and not just vapid simpering neutered twaddle like a sad can of flat coke zero half-heartedly handed to an anorexic model slipping into a fatal coma

The return of the Bald White Dude
Making sure whites groove

the album is actually pretty pleasant is the thing, in the most frightfully enervated way

matt and luke goss form spacek covers band was how i correctly basically broke it down to an extent iirc

And then on the other side, the poetry side, I look at people like Billy Corgan and that white energy is powerful too.

omg

I spend all my time doing things that may be a bit tangential, but I think I'm going to go back to the core, the white music. Billy Corgan.

i have to say it but saying "Billy Corgan and that white energy is powerful" is the only thing with a kernel of insight in the whole interview, the rest is incoherent if not contradictory

AA: “When Voodoo came out, if you read the reviews, people were like, ‘he’s mumbling’! You know, a good example is Terence Malick, the filmmaker. His movies to us are like divine breaths on film, but a lot of people really struggle with the lack of dialogue. Or Nirvana, that’s a great example – if you read the lyrics to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ it’s like, what did he say? None of the teenagers knew what the hell he was saying – it’s ultimately a feeling.

“But the lyrics are really fundamental.

Wow. These guys aren't the smartest are they? And that track on the link sounds like a first demo for something someone might be thinking of finishing off one day when they can be bothered.
