Billy Corgan vs The British Press - Early Pumpkins interview!

Billy Corgan vs The British Press - Early Pumpkins interview!

I don't know if this has been posted but I think its one of their best interview from the early era. Later ones seem a lot more staged like Billy is just talking and D'arcy laughing about something in the background but this seems really genuine. Idk what happened to Billy as the years go on but can really understand early pumpkins from this like Gish. Do people think all the fame and pressure just got to them over the years?

New community just for women

I hopefully this is ok to post, I just created this group and thought it might be a really good place to for women specifically to ask questions and get help with music related questions.

I know there's a bunch of similar general groups and its still worth asking here but maybe cool to have some kind of space specifically for women to post which isn't just who's your fav female bassist? :)

Evri accepts more items than it can deliver?

After losing multiple parcels with Evri I'm starting to feel like there's a clear pattern. If the item is too large or heavy there's a large chance its going to go missing. On ebay large items seem to cost about £7.19 delivery which seems way too low. So my theory is Evri will accept these large items then never intend to actually deliver them. They try to meet the deadline to deliver by faking delivery knowing they will ultimately pocket the delivery costs and ebay will refund the seller, so ultimately free money. Other companies like Royal mail, UPS, FedEx will charge larger deliver costs because they are obliged to actually deliver these items but Evri basically accepts all items just to push out these other companies. I know people who worked for Royal mail and if they don't meet certain targets the whole company gets fined. But Evri being a shady private company doesn't seem to have this kind of problem?

Untimely it's a sort of loop hole that's exploited, the government should have shut them down or implement a fine but seems powerless :(

I've been trying to create a band for a while but no one I find seems to know what shoegaze is, im from the Uk. One person was mad because they expected Fleshwater type music. Other people say shoegaze is just a bunch of effects like that's what makes it shoegaze and nothing else. Other people only imagine my bloody valentine type stuff. Also so many bands say they are shoegaze but are just shouty grunge or like basic rock, one guy said he's in a shoegaze band but doesn't really use pedals at all?

Its like there's weird disconnect between my idea of shoegaze and the average person's view. I'm into glixen, TAGABOW, MBV, Ride, Nothing. I'm thinking of just going solo because its too frustrating to try find members :(

Hi I found this for really cheap with a bunch if gear but when I try plug it into a TV there's no output :(. Do I need a special cable or device to get an output? I've tried pressing the monitor button but nothing. The manual seems confusing because it seems to need an aerial converter but other times can just go straight into a vhs player?
