Billy Corgan

It’s another trip to the archives this week

Smashing Pumpkins and Tower Records are turning Billy Corgan’s Illinois tea shop, Madame Zuzu’s, into a Tower pop-up for four days, culminating with a pair of intimate Smashing Pumpkins sets.

Jason Isbell, Field Music, Tim Burgess, Anton Newcombe, Matt Pinfield, Bryan Adams, Ron Sexsmith, Steven Van Zandt and more also paid tribute to Robertson.

You can also read tributes to O’Connor from Everything But The Girl’s Tracey Thorn, Chuck D, The Pogues’ Spider Stacy, Boy George, Valerie June, Ice-T, Margo Price, Tegan and Sara, Kimya Dawson, Susanna Hoffs, and more.

This week’s playlist includes new music by Big Thief, Chris Stapleton, Al Menne, MJ Lenderman, Blur, The Gaslight Anthem (ft. Bruce Springsteen), The Menzingers, and more.

Code Orange have finally announced their highly-anticipated followup to 2020’s Underneath. It’s called The Above, and it’s due September 29 via Blue Grape Music. We’ve got an exclusive transparent ochre vinyl variant up for pre-order now and limited to just 350 copies worldwide.

MC Hammer, Vernon Reid, John Fogerty, Billy Corgan, Bethany Cosentino, Garbage, Moor Mother, Sheila E, Bette Midler, and others have also paid tribute to the late legend.

”When Kurt died, I cried because I lost my greatest opponent,” Billy Corgan said in a new interview with Zane Lowe.

”I have no problem with people ripping stuff apart,” Billy says. ”So what I hear is an artist struggling how to put those ripped pieces back together.”

Largent hosted ‘120 Minutes’ from 1992-1995 and was a KROQ DJ before that.
