My relationship with The Smashing Pumpkins goes back to their debut Gish, but this interview was recorded a good few years later when, in mid-1998, Adore landed. Not by me, sadly, but captured nonetheless, thanks to my working at EMI and an advance CDR recording of the interview landing on my desk, and I was ready to tell anyone who cared.

I shared the interview on The Cutting Edge, a weekly show I hosted at the time, along with the inimitable Tiene van den Berg, back in May 1998. Yes, it\\u2019s all mono and analogue horrible, but it remains a slice of modern rock history worthy of resharing.

Yes, there are poorly captured mono recordings on this session, which copyright oddly allows, but which make my heart gratefully happy for past and future generations to appreciate, so enjoy and, more importantly, go dig out or purchase the rich catalogue that exists. If this band doesn\\u2019t move you, consider yourself already dead.
