Did he actually brag that he is incredibly articulate in interviews by way of speaking clearly and succinctly?
lol, ok, Bill. |

Is it usual for him and Chloe to gripe away at each other whilst live streaming?! Was definitely a chunk of that in todays

Pretty much yeah. Which account was the livestream on? Zuzus? Usually he makes some snarky remark and she just roll her eyes at him.

when he says the fans can explain why zeitgeist is not streaming, i am at a loss. other than some unclear reasoning around bill having sour grapes, but i couldn’t say why specifically. does anyone know the actual story there?

Can't remember, it popped up in my feed so flicked through it. He said to her "you can take your mask off", she paused and said something back and he responded with an eyeroll and saying "another Sunday with Chloe!"... reminds me of all those awful moments in relationships where noone's having a particularly great time

Given he makes endless barbed comments when someone praises a song ie: 'I had to fight to get that song on the record' or 'I was told not to put this song out! - I guess I showed them!' while at the same time not putting up an entire album because some people were mean to him on Netphoria 13 years ago = classic billy.

Zeit, TFE & the Zwan album are not on Spotify etc because he is still somehow operating under the delusion that those are *the* albums the fanbase hated from him - a true sign he is not really looking for feedback outside of groups like Sad Machines anymore
what's most bizarre is that, given how crazy he's been about positioning in the "modern pop markets" & other such statistics, he's only shooting himself in the foot having fans play all this stuff offline, doing nothing for his own stream numbers but hey, we're just the stupid haters innit |

Those three releases are on the Reprise label, so my guess is that it's to do with disagreements with them.

that's probably true, yet only reaffirms how much he loves pissing off fans given that his actual response to the question is "it's your fault" lol

i wouldn't mind listening to Starz from time to time. or Ma Belle or Stellar, though I'm not sure those were on streaming with zeitgeist?
how do you all listen to music these days aside from streaming? i don't have a cd player, don't have a record player or any vinyl. i just started paying for youtube premium, so maybe i'll just make a playlist there... (no ads, can play it in the back |

Got some vinyl but not a whole lot and it’s hard to be a responsible vinyl player with small kids around, it’s like i have to pick which of them to abuse and of course the state will take the kids and doesn’t give a shit about the records, so |

Someone asked if Jimmy used electronic or acoustic drums on the Cyr record
Billy said acoustic The fuck. That would be pretty mental if Jimmy actually tracked drums on a real acoustic kit and Billy/Howard just resampled it. |

I wanna know who these Gish fans are that "hated" SD, and who the SD fans are that "hated" MCIS, and so on.
I'm a Gish fan and a SD fan and a MCIS fan and an Adore fan, and a fan of Machina if I compile the best of M1 and M2. Most people I knew who were into SP liked all of it, and those who discovered them from MCIS went back to SD and enjoyed it. He also seems to think that the same "hipsters" are still around from the 90s - or that modern day "hipsters" give two hoots about SP in 2020. They really don't. This whole "45 second intros aren't contemporary" - why does this 53 year musician think his band is in any way considered contemporary? The only people buying his music are the same people who bought his music already. And let's be honest, most of them don't really like his new music now do they? |

i was wondering about that 'hated' thing
i can get SD sounding too lush and commercial from gish, and maybe MCIS being too long and having too much weird shit. but no one at metro in 93 or the double door shows in 95 would be reacting like we are |

So like you I really don't know where he's getting that. I think he spoke to like, 5 people one time, who told him this. Or he read some article or something. His idea of what the fans want and like, verses what the fans actually want and like, are polar opposites. I've love to tell him this on IG but he'd either ignore or block me. I've already been blocked by him on IG and don't want to have to create yet another account to keep up with his lunacy. |

I love how Billy keeps claiming no one liked SD and MCIS when they came out. They were huge mega hit albums. They did get mixed reviews in the press but it’s not like no one liked them. Come on, Billy. On the strength of SD, your band was invited to replace Nirvana as headliners of fucking Lollapalooza. Literally the highest honor an alternative band could be given. Clearly the album wasn’t THAT hated.
I also love how he keeps making claims that all of his mediocre albums since the 90’s are now being celebrated in hindsight. Sorry, Bill, that is a huge fucking lie. Where are all these fans and critics who suddenly love MSOTS, TFE, Shitegeist, and Bloat-cenia? I haven’t seen or heard any of this. They were mostly panned when they came out and they continue to be considered footnotes to his 90’s work at the very best. His post 90’s music is generally regarded as mixed crap with a few scattered nuts because that’s what it is. Just own up to it Billy and stop with your blowhard bullshit. No one cares about Zeitgeist. It’s still as embarrassing today as it was back then. And don’t even get me going on SIDDFARTHA. Last edited by johncg : 11-30-2020 at 02:14 PM. |

Also, a big LOL, to him validating Andy Warhol on his other IG account. Straight out of Buttcannon's interview with D'arcy, where she said he once told the entire band it was okay to like Mozart because Billy finally "got" Mozart's music. |
