Oh, Billy Corgan…won’t you just go away and leave Mellon Collie with some sort of dignity? You won’t? Oh, okay… I guess you’re going to start up a label instead… great… yeah, sure… tell me about it.
“Hey kids! This is your resident ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’ Billy Corgan checking in again to drop some major news about my awesome career! It’s hot! I’ve decided to do more than just release my own music by signing teenage boys to contracts so that I own them and start releasing other people’s music! That’s right! Billy Corgan’s got his own as-yet-untitled Record Label. I know, great idea, right? I thought so, too!
“So far I’ve got some REALLY cool artists: L.A. punk legends The Germs, 60s psych-rock legends Strawberry Alarm Clock and The Electric Prunes, Fancy Space People, Ya Ho Wa 13, and my own side project Starchildren. A bunch of awesome bands in the prime of their career, right? It’s gonna be great! I can’t wait! This rat is finally leaving his cage!”
