Pillbox London / Channel 4 News Interview
I was at the Pillbox showing last night.
Kicked off with a Q&A. There was a question about how an 'artist does what one does?'... "Do not be like anyone else, there's only one Beck etc..". There was a question about the NWO - ugh - "This isn't the forum. Don't trust the news, do your own research". A couple of questions were about the film, it was his manager's idea (to do one, not the concept) and the actors worked for cheap because there was a limited budget - boo hoo. Finally he was asked about how he chooses what he's writing for, to which he said he following, "Whether it's my name, my real name or the band... It's all Pumpkins to me." The film itself is better spread out over the album than the condensed version featured on The Spaniards, Bill has a cameo as the family butler and you can get the gist what happens from the video. If you don't like the Strawberry style you're not going to like any of it. I particularly liked the narration text throughout - "Attack Jinji" or whatever - reminiscent of that cutscene on Vieuphoria and definitely trademark Bill. And that was that. Bill was on the C4 News talking about how great the band was "as weird as Zappa and so successful" and how his Dad was "a drug addict who first inspired his lack of trust of authority". He talked about infowars and the rise of conspiracy theories as a reaction against the "Lies of the Iraq war". And that he's only ever used infowars to "pro,Pte free speech". Overall he sounded odd, but not mad - which is good. |

How can he even reconcile being suspicious of everything, but not being suspicious of his dad telling him to be suspicious of everything?

1979 Spaniards and Aeronaut according to setlist.fm, and someone on one of the SP Facebook communities said he did Wound.

The Live performance was a pre-event for Yamaha competition winners only. We could see them quaffing wine whilst we waited in the street.
To be fair to him, he looked proper uncomfortable when he got asked the NWO question and tried to move it on. On the news the thing with his Dad was excused by the fact her was 5 years old. |

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this the first time billy flat out admits that his father was a drug dealer?
in the past he only revealed that his father was a drug addict who hung out with bad company, but this is new |

Feel less bad about not making the journey now if the screening just included a Q&A. |

No I didn't, I had a friend's wedding party to go to so didn't grab a ticket. How many layers was he wearing? I'm guessing several!

"We're gathered in a dark vaulted room far below London's Strand for a special acoustic solo performance by WPC, or William Patrick Corgan, or most commonly, Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins. Corgan is in town to promote a short silent film, Pillbox, which he directed alongside Linda Strawberry and scored with tracks from his new Rick Rubin-produced solo album, Ogilala which is out on 13 October."

because it was during Q&A slunks.
tbh I don't give a shit either way, not enough to listen to this channel 4 interview, he literally hasn't had anything worthwhile to say for a decade. |

Never watched If All Goes Wrong. Are you saying I should keep it that way until I feel like hanging myself? Okay, no problem.

The Jeff bit where he smashes a guitar is hilarious, without a doubt planned by Corgan
Anyway! Hope he comes back to the UK soon, it's been a while now since he's played properly here |
