The New Hole Record
Hi,
There is a lot going on in music land and I haven’t had the time to update the blog as much as I would like. I know many of you want to know about the obelisk screw up, and I will blog about that once I have ALL the details.

There is something regarding Courtney Love that needs to be cleared up for those of you who care.

Yesterday I received an email from a journalist inquiring about the twitter exchange between @courtneyloveuk and @studiodog regarding who wrote what on the Hole song Skinny Little Bitch. The journalist thought that I was implying that @billy wrote the “riff” to the song.

Here is my reply:

Hi,

That was miss read about Billy and Skinny Little Bitch, as far as I know Billy had nothing to do with that song. Here is how it all went down and you can quote me on this.

Back in 2007 when Courtney finished a bunch of songs with Linda Perry, she (Courtney) gave me a copy of the CD to listen to. I thought the record sounded great but I felt, as did Billy, that it needed a few upbeat, ALT Rock singles. Songs that would get played at Alternative Rock radio and not just Adult Contemporary Radio. So we, Billy, Courtney, and I “Holed” up in my studio and started writing songs that would work for Courtney/Hole. This is when we demoed the song Billy wrote called Samantha.

I gave her a handful of songs that had single potential, really good songs! Courtney and I then had a “falling out” and I told her I wanted the songs back to use for another project. I have not heard the record so I don’t know what it sounds like. I know Samantha is on the record but I have not heard the final recording so I don’t know how much it has changed from it’s original Corgan form. That is between her and Billy. It is a great song and I had a blast playing on and recording the demo.

The first time I heard Skinny Little Bitch was on the radio and for whatever reason it immediately reminded me of a song I gave her 3 years ago. I wrote to her on Twitter that the song sounded familar… she then tweeted back to me that the songs I gave her were not referenced in any way and that SLB was the brain child of Micko. Whatever all that shit sounds the same anyway :) If she said I didn’t have anything to do with SLB then I didn’t… it’s no big deal and I truly do not care. I am happy she is back on the radio, she is talented, and if she can focus her energy on the band she could have a good run with this record. I am also flattered that I was given the chance to help her get back on the radio. I hope the best for her and that she can find peace and happiness in life.

All the Best.
