EVERYBODY LOVES OUR TOWN

Courtney Love took to the Everybody Loves Our Town Facebook page again, this time to comment on my Listicle Without Commentary: The Year in Billy Corgan’s Disdain for His ’90s Alt-Rock Peers, as Told Through GrungeReport.net Headlines. (Note: Billy Corgan apparently had nothing bad to say about Courtney, publicly at least, in 2012.) In doing so, she shared this:

i do hate doing the oldies though and all the shit i get for calling it hole so im just going to call it courtney love and get on with it, because im not doing an oldies thing forget it.

Time Out Chicago: You’ve admitted you know that, for certain fans, you will never make anything as great as those ’90s Pumpkins records. Is that difficult?

Billy Corgan: It’s frustrating, but I feel worse for them. You’re cheating yourself out of the experience of moving forward. I’m not responsible for the fact that you lost your virginity to this song. It doesn’t behold me to something. I meet young people to whom the old records don’t have that emotional connection but Oceania does.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Who out there lost their virginity to a Smashing Pumpkins song (SFW details please)?

The EP, which I posted about earlier today, is now available in full. Featuring electro reworkings of songs by Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees and Jimi Hendrix.
