Courtney Love is the latest guest on The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan’s podcast, The Magnificent Others.
The episode begins with the Hole frontwoman saying, “I throw out 10,000 tangents so no one can get to me,” which is a promise she keeps during the wide-ranging conversation that jumps through a variety of topics for nearly two hours.
“The two revisit childhood memories, musical influences, and exchange stories from the stages and venues that shaped their careers,” a press release reads. “Along the way, Love and Corgan compare notes on the evolving rock music landscape, marking this episode a must-listen for music fans.”
At one point, Love says that Kurt Cobain wrote the chorus for Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” about Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon.
Love’s former Hole bandmate Melissa Auf der Maur was also recently a guest on The Magnificent Others. The two plan to play a tour together, though Love later clarified Hole wasn’t reuniting.
