cool AP article on recording of SD & indie / major label swtich

http://www.starla.org/articles/ap1.htm

the article really focuses on the whole Caroline / Virgin thing, a few jabs at courtney love, and some great pissed "billy the SD-era jerk" quotes. Nothing really new and groundbreaking, but very interesting if you didn't know about the band back then.

Yeah, that was a really cool article. Does anyone know what Thurston Moore exactly said about the Pumpkins or was Billy just using him as an example of the cool indie crowd?

Keep in mind this is 1993:

"Billy jokes that the many boxes present, full of demo, rehearsal, and live tapes of the Pumpkins from the earliest days through last year (truly a bootleggers nightmare), are probably a reaction to that."

Wow. Not that we didn't know, but still...wow.

And so that's the Star Spangled Banner story! Hmm.

I love reading about the prouction of Siamese Dream. It was utter chaos and most of the time, the band was at eachother's throats, and they created the best album of the 90s. I love it.
