Billy was a big fan of My Bloody Valentine at the time so there was an influence, especially with the multi-tracking. Loveless was also the reason he wanted Alan Moulder to mix Siamese Dream.

Siamese Dream sounds a lot more like MBV to me than Pisces. The influence is definitely there though.

Back in 2009, Billy held an auction where one lucky fan won an afternoon meal with him. And just in case that prize wasn't unattractive enough, he also threw in this caveat: "Winner is responsible for the bill." Imagine the thrill of listening to stories about banging Courtney Love while a member of the only Smashing Pumpkin pounds down milkshake after milkshake at Johnny Rockets on your dime.
The guy's a friggin' rock star, wouldn't you think he could afford to pay for a couple of meals? He'd probably ask you to bring some spare change for his taxi home as well.

I know! My best guess is that his needy ego was desperate to know how many random people still liked him enough to actually pay to have lunch with him. The accompanying photo in the post is hilarious:

I love how nobody else in the room gives a flying fuck who he is.
