TS: Billy Corgan vs. Stephen Malkmus

he would've attended played halftime at the superbowl last year

Phil D otm

he would've attended played halftime wide receiver for the Ravens at the superbowl last year

he would be as beloved as eddie vedder right now

xp The Ravens weren't in the last superbowl.

They would have been with Kurt at wide-out.

somehow appropriate that this has devolved into sportstalk Malk and Corgy both being secret jocks

Most of Malkmus's solo albums, even Mirror Traffic, feel pleasant but unnecessary, and I spent much of my adolescence blasting Siamese Dream and making excuses for Mellon Collie and most of Adore, but I like American Water more than anything the Pumpkins ever did, and as far as I know Malkmus never bragged in his livejournal about having threatened to break a trans woman's arms and legs if she sullied his hetero good name, so the point goes to Malkmus.

I didn't know about the trans woman :/

I mean, there are already plenty of reasons to find Corgan insufferable, but that kind of clenched it for me.

I just feel it's easier to tell Malkmus to shut up.

well he likes to seem intellectual
and to be a musician he went to school
the way he acts is so uncool
you know i can't stand him

you better tell that steve to shut up
you better tell that steve i'm gonna beat him up

The photographer Naomi Petersen (RIP) was my dear, dear friend. She was a good friend of Grohl's and we all went to see Metallica together in DC in 92. This was at the height of Nevermind frenzy. He's just a really nice, really upbeat guy.

I've heard nothing but how genuine DG is, dude's really like that.

But that said, I've never been able to get into Foo Fighters. It's like blue static, where every song is either "Everlong" or not "Everlong".

I have no problem believing Grohl is the nicest Bob Lesfetz fan on the planet

voting malkmus even if i understand why people prefer someone who tries too hard over someone who sometimes doesn't try hard enough

i am disappointed that this is the question that really gets ilx talking

what is the question you would like us to talk about

i don't care about this!!!!

i didn't say i had a better idea
i just said it was disappointing

how about: which is more disgusting, mice or rats?

rats

ok how about which is more disgusting, rats or jell-o salad with meat floating in it?

ugh they are both so gross

rats. rats can bite you.

it's relatively easy to get jell-o salad with meat floating in it out of your apartment

nothing is grosser than greasy fat rats.

except Billy Corgan

rat in a cage

despite all his rage he is still just a rat in a jello meat moat

xp :-(

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and i'm in jell-o
just like meat

you know who has meat-studded jell-o salad in their apartment? elegant bachelors

stone temple pilots also enjoy meat-float jell-o salads

what if the meat is rat meat in the jell-o

mice and rats are both lovely creatures what is wrong w/yall

i wanna run thru your rat-meat jell-o
heard that's the place to find you

ok how about which is more disgusting, rats or jell-o salad with meat floating in it?

Completely disgusting foods our parents ate

I have no problem believing Grohl is the nicest Bob Lesfetz fan on the planet

people say a lot of nasty things about Grohl for reasons i don't fully understand but this is probably the coldest

despite all my rage I am still just a mouse in a cage

Malkmus over Corgan by a hair or two, and I have a lot of affection for both of them. Corgan's lows have been just so DIRE.

can't find the the video in which Corgan uses the first verse of Bullets for a mixed martial arts intro.

that is definitely his nadir

Voted Corgan. Adolescent love for Siamese Dream clinched it.

Never heard about this threat to a trans woman, though.

what

February 17, 2004 was a momentous day for Smashing Pumpkins fans. For the first time in the four years since the original band’s last show, frontman and songwriter Billy Corgan broke the silence surrounding the band’s breakup in a stream-of-consciousness styled blog post. A post that began with personal news:

You know that Beatles song ‘I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink….’? I’m having one of those weeks…I just got 2 new kittens, brothers and sisters, named miss sammi and mister thom cat…they are the best of friends, which is wonderful, but being young, they are into everything, including some things I didn’t know you could get into…mister thom also seems to want to wake me up at 5am to say hello…

Ok, s.d. nice find.

it was def on one of the other Pumpkins threads when it happened a few months ago. but never a bad excuse to bring it up again.

indie ege bamyasi turned out to be way cooler/better than modular siddartha. otoh, kittens.
