So the Pumpkins decided to release a subscription service, which included videos from the studio, unreleased material, and vintage goodies all for $40 for 12 consecutive weeks. It sounded great to me so I signed up as being interested. Yesterday I received a “mangry” email from the man himself addressed to the 6,000 of us that thought this was a good idea.
Apparently the rest of the fans were outraged by the idea of paying for a subscription because they felt it was just another ploy by Corgan to drain the fans of their money so he could stuff it in his pockets. This, in turn, made Corgan feel less than “full of light & love” and more disappointed with the feelings of his fans and I think the music industry as a whole at this moment.
