Corgan & Love's Indie War Stories

0:00It's April 2nd, you're listening to music news today, AI-powered coverage of the music industry. Billy Corgan and Courtney Love just linked up on his podcast, The Magnificent Others, for a 1 hour and 45 minute chat, straight firing shots. At Kim Gordon, as a top gatekeeper in the 90s Indie scene, they broke down how women like Love had to crush the competition back then, with room for only one queen at a time, pitting bands against each other. Like the bangles and the gogos, they dove deeper into the straight of meanness of that Indie world, with Love name dropping her buddy Thurston Moore now, but Corgan clapping back. That his partner, Gordon, was the real worst offender. Love recalled Gordon being horrible in the 90s, even dissing Corgan when he showed up as a fan in Holland just to pay respects. Gordon fired back years ago and her 2015 memoir, Girl in a Band, calling out Love's tarantula, L.A. Glamour as sociopathic and, narcissistic, while emitting low tolerance for egomaniacs.

Fast forward to this year, Corgan jumped into an auction for Love's hand-written lyrics to Holes Violet, captioning it with Love for the Track and, clammy he penned one couplet. He hyped Holes' 1994 album Live through this, defending Love's songwriting chops against rumors. Kurt Cobain goes wrote it all. Crediting Nirvana for Kicking Doors opened for everyone. Love wrapped headlines by shouting off the band, Geese, with growing appreciation, playfully telling their gatekeeper fans to get off her back, showing these old school beefs still spark fresh vibes in today's music game.
