LR: Pavement had some nasty lyrics about you on one of their albums. Did the groovy, indie scene turn on you when you got popular?

BC: Sure. But my whole thing is that people don't fall in love to Pavement, people don't get up in the morning before they go to school and put on Big Black. They put on Smashing Pumpkins or Hole or Nirvana, because these bands actually mean something to them. It's the difference between music you put on to take drugs to, and music you put on to live your life.

Billy Corgan, leader of The Smashing Pumpkins, threatened to drop The Smashing Pumpkins from the 1994 Lollapalooza Festival if Pavement was allowed to play. The Smashing Pumpkins were headlining Lollapalooza that year.

hee, Jenny, you just reminded me of the time my sister borrowed a vampy lipstick of mine to go see R.E.M. in concert. she had intentions of seducing Michael Stipe. I didn't have the heart to point out how that totally wasn't going to work out for her. she lurved him.

did i hear SM in an old navy commercial last night? the voice sounded familiar but the song wasn't.

how about lol @ drama queens, especially out-of-touch ones

It kind of reminds me of like Zsa Zsa Gabor or something: "I used to be the most beautiful woman in the world. I used to be in pictures."

About 88% of my personality in high school was that I was the biggest Smashing Pumpkins fan everyone knew. Go ahead! Hate me! It just makes me stronger!

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

the voice sounded familiar but the song wasn't.

Maybe it was ZWANN.

Heh, one of the dudes in my band started a rumor about another friend that he's a really big Zwann fan, and got really upset when they broke up. You should try it with someone you know, it's fun.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Malkmus wasn't in Zwan.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh come on, EVERYONE was in Zwan!

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:29 (seventeen years ago) link

It was like USA for Africa!

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok I am off to STATE MANDATED ETHICS TRAINING.
Tootles.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Zwan = bald egomaniac, Asian dude from Slint/Tortoise, scuzzy Oldham pal that n/a worships and Kelsey has a crush on, bald egomaniac's junkie buddy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

You forgot 3rd-string Hole bass player.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, I read SM as SP. Whatever.

Btw, I've got my (non-dude) book club for Man with the Golden Arm tonight and we're meeting at a bar, so I plan on drinking in the style of the novel.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i.e., with a golden arm?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

No. With whiskey shots.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

"The music wasn't the big problem, it was more their attitude...Sex acts between band members in public. People carrying drugs across borders. Pajo sleeping with the producer's girlfriend while we were making the record." [1]

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

But the music was pretty bad, too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I thought Pajo and Paz were sleeping together...?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

They might as well since they're apparently the same person

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Man, I'm gonna out myself as a huge, huge Pumpkins fan right now... they were very, very hit or miss live, but some of their shows were absolutely killer. BC is a huge douche, but an underrated guitar player.

oh, Sarah, I knew I was going to end up being an asshole in bitching about Smashing Pumpkins. all of my favorite people in high school were huge SP fans!

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 29 November 2006 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMMGOMGMGMGMG! Comcast On Demand has a...

KARAOKE CHANNEL.

Fucking. Karaoke. Channel. On our tee vee.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 02:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Ahahahaha! Cannonball! "In the style of the Breeders."

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 02:49 (seventeen years ago) link

You know what else you can get ON DEMAND? Guitar lessons. There is a woman teaching Jeff how to play "Ironic" on TV right now.

There's also "dating on demand" that I watched on day when I was bored, but it was kind of depressing.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 02:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Complaining about the Smashing Pumpkins = not allowed. (I am a bigot.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:00 (seventeen years ago) link

NED RAGGETT do you want to come over and sing karaoke using our TV?

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I am too tired and full of good food to move much.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:04 (seventeen years ago) link

You can sit on the couch.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Also on Comcast: "Rich Bitches"

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Also on Comcast: Cosplay Confessions.

God help us all.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:09 (seventeen years ago) link

"What cosplay character would I like to hook up with? I would have to say Lulu from Final Fantasy X..."

Here there be rofflz.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I had to look up cosplay.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I actually think that cosplay is pretty neat. It's pretty creative and some of these weirdos are really talented. Some of them are really um, perverted, too.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Now Jeff is watching Dating on Demand. God, Comcast Cable is like the most amazing thing ever.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh my god this woman just said that she wanted somebody "fair skinneded."

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:34 (seventeen years ago) link

And her dream man is one who can hit her spot without her having to tell him anything.

She does hate it when people hum while they chew, which I can totally get behind.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:36 (seventeen years ago) link

You are sisters under the skinned.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:40 (seventeen years ago) link

No, wait, that's not right. It sounds...nevermind.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:43 (seventeen years ago) link

FEAR ME I AM WATCHING A HEROES MARATHON.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh oh. Retro Erotica time.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Porn seems positively charming when it's in black and white and narrated by the same guy who narrated "Lunchroom Manners."

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh how I long for the days when granny panties were sexy enough for pornos...

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 03:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I have never delve so deeply into On Demand. I have changed.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 30 November 2006 04:43 (seventeen years ago) link

It's an amazing place.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 04:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Take, for example, the Comcast Personals video of "airmandude". He likes hanging out and drinking.

These are some of the most boring people in the world.
