A couple of very cool notes in today's Xpress (Perth street press);
In an Ash article, guitarist Charlotte Hatherley says ; "The influences were obvioulsy American and I think we wanted to sound like the bands we'd loved as kids, like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins... we kind of wanted to capture that sound."
Later in the article it says that the first 20 seconds of track Orpheus are quite reminiscent of the Smashing Pumpkins' track I Am One.
And later in an interview with Tom Gray of Gomez, he says that track Don't Know Where We're Going sounds like Gomez mixed with the Smashing Pumpkins and the Rolling Stones.
;D ;D ;D Awesome to hear a couple of my favourite bands giving big-ups to SP. I don't know if I need to really say this but I f&*king love the Pumpkins. They deserve a helluva lot more credit than they get for revolutionising music.

I was told that on May 19th when The Superjesus were playing at the Holy Grail, TSP were playing in the backround between bands and that there was a guy there wearing a Zero shirt. Damn and I was at the Green Room chatting to the guys from After The Fall.

Page 277 of About a Boy by Nick Hornby "Its all about Smashing Pumpkins and Ellie and Zoe and....I think he's been smoking." Very cool book made even cooler by this!

I got to talking to the lead singer of After the fall, Ben on friday night and it turns out that he is a huge fan of TSP. So we had this big chat about Pumpkins related stuff and I gave him my number. What makes it really cool for me is I really like ATF and Ben is such a hunk-a-spunk.

I just switched over to channel 10 to see the last 5 seconds of the OC, and i swear that i heard the end of 'To Sheila'. However, i may be going nuts.

No, you aren't going nuts! They did play To Sheila!!! I turned the tv on too and I heard To Sheila and I'm like "OMG! Thats SP!" haha I was excited. And especially since it wasn't a single too. Made me want to listen to Adore again.

On channel V yesterday, The Pumpkins got a mention in an interview with After The Fall .... I didn't actually see it 'cause I was there and I was the audience member asking the question.
Me: "Ben, I hear you're a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins. What your favourite song?"
Ben (lead singer of ATF): "Thats a hard one .... Muzzle ...."
He went on to explain why, but I can't remember exactly what he said.
Oh yeah and I met a guy at the Annandale on Friday night. I have a complete mental blank when it comes to his name, but he is a huge pumpkins fan, I told him to check out ozphoria and he thought I was mid-twenties when I'm only 18.

Just flicking through the HIT Magazine during dinner, and came across this little reference to the man:
"Suffice to say, stars - from Billy Corgan to Melanie Griffith - are getting a kick out of letting it all hang out online." This was made in reference to the article which was about celebrities having their own online 'blog' pages.

On VH1 yesterday, they were doing the thing where they play clips and have little facts and stuff about the band that come up on screen. Yesterday they had a 1998 mini-special and Ava Adore was on.
Funny side note- The question came up on screen "How much influence does Billy let the rest of the band have in the studio?"
The clip was then up to the part where billy does that little thing with his two fingers on each hands (During the "Pull your crooked teeth" passage) And that was the answer. Funny stuff if you saw it and/or can understand what i'm talking about.

I saw a chick wearing an Adore shirt at uni today... I was gonna stop her and say hi + also comment on the shirt, but it looked like she was in a hurry. Last I saw of her was she went into the loo, but I didn't see her come out... Oooh and also when I was sitting in the cafeteria having some lunch the other day, someone put Today on the jukebox.
