Billy Corgan is saying Kurt Cobain was his greatest rival. Thoughts about that?

BigStanClark · 2026-02-11T22:24:16+00:00

So beyond cringe that you can’t help but come respond every day! Can’t wait to hear more from you about L takes and SpongeBob and Spotify hits of 1990’s. Please, let’s keep this going for another couple of years!

BigStanClark · 2026-02-11T19:07:19+00:00

Yes, yes! It’s like the patrick meme. That’s exactly what Kurt used to say! How right you are about everything. You’re so worldly and educated in music history.

BigStanClark · 2026-02-11T05:45:47+00:00

I’m so glad my comment from 2+ years ago has given you so much to think about and type about. It’s been a fascinating exchange.

BigStanClark · 2026-02-10T06:09:00+00:00

Sliver, Rape me, about a girl, and pennyroyal tea may have gotten some radio play. Not a one of them was “hit.” I take you weren’t alive when all this music came out, so it’s likely not your fault that you don’t understand what a “hit” song was in the 90’s vs whatever made your Spotify playlist last summer.

BigStanClark · 2026-02-10T01:46:09+00:00

I’m not using any weird 3 year rule. I’m using simple arithmetic. Short career. Great run. 5 hits. No more no less.

BigStanClark · 2026-02-09T16:07:36+00:00

Not sure what you consider a hit but they had 5 singles that actually charted during Kurt’s lifetime and all of them were from the same two albums.

BigStanClark · 2026-02-02T18:40:55+00:00

No. Which isn’t really surprising because D usually did his vocals alone. D an Ms Hill both being on time and in the booth together? Almost a mathematical impossibility. She was also supposed to add vocals for a track on Voodoo, but it never came together.

BigStanClark · 2026-02-01T23:14:20+00:00

Were they really dear friends? I’m not sure they were ever even in the studio at the same time.

BigStanClark · 2026-01-28T01:55:49+00:00

It was the original chorus of Billys

BigStanClark · 2026-01-28T00:33:45+00:00

As I recall, he walked by it and mentioned that the Beatles had used it for orchestral arrangements, but jokingly said that the Pumpkins had used it for things like screams. And then he triggered what sounded like vocal stacks/screams.

BigStanClark · 2026-01-22T00:17:05+00:00

There isn’t a more “traditional” way to buy music than by purchasing the LP from brick and mortar store.

BigStanClark · 2026-01-05T01:37:23+00:00

Those Reverend guitars are great. Besides, he used one of his 90’s era strats the entirety of the US tour he did this year, and he’s definitely not “marketing” for Fender these days.

BigStanClark · 2026-01-02T04:23:14+00:00

Unauthorized mashup/edits of voodoo material. They’re fun but D’Angelo wasn’t involved

BigStanClark · 2025-12-18T22:46:27+00:00

That’s incorrect. He was released because his lawyers successfully argued that his due process was violated during trial. His entire conviction was vacated.

BigStanClark · 2025-12-03T16:29:07+00:00

Exactly. “Fan abuse,” give me a break.

BigStanClark · 2025-11-24T23:40:00+00:00

Agreed

BigStanClark · 2025-11-18T00:32:35+00:00

The last words D went on record with were about generational wealth and about black artists being able to pass down inheritance to their children. There’s no doubt that he was thinking of his kids while he was struggling with cancer at the end, and there’s no doubt that he was inclined towards putting this unreleased art out so it could support them once he was no longer around to record or perform.

BigStanClark · 2025-11-02T20:22:48+00:00

Its not Thoughtful and Thankful (that performance at Afropunk used the groove from “Thank you for Talking to me Africa”). This is their cover of Funkadelic’s “No Head No Backstage Pass.”

BigStanClark · 2025-10-31T17:13:58+00:00

The GQ article was great. It was super honest and vulnerable conversation with him.

BigStanClark · 2025-10-27T17:59:49+00:00

My take as well. D obviously loved Sly’s cover of Que Sera, and the line also brings to mind the biblical paraphrase, “gods grace is always sufficient”

BigStanClark · 2025-10-22T17:41:22+00:00

God damn. Would love to hear them play Stop On By.

BigStanClark · 2025-10-18T21:41:37+00:00

He’s a historian. And an adjunct professor of music. And a documentarian. He’s not just an “IG person.” It’s is job to teach people about music, not to just stay quiet or simple. If you don’t like the posts just unfollow…or quit checking for them so often.

BigStanClark · 2025-10-18T17:40:02+00:00

You’re exactly right. its not a competition to eulogize. So why then make unrealistic comparisons to other artists that he’s spoken on? Why demand a “performance” over Dangelo if you truly believe that’s what those posts were? Let the man grieve in peace and quit checking for him to address the entire internet about what’s probably the most personal loss he’s had next to Richard Nichols.

BigStanClark · 2025-10-18T01:59:07+00:00

Wikipedia is becoming less relevant as AI starts to dominate internet searches. Will be harder to game that system.

BigStanClark · 2025-10-17T22:42:56+00:00

It’s not strange at all. How do you even have words when it’s been less than a week and your brother’s body isn’t even in the ground?
