New Policy on News at Netphoria


Over the past few days I've been re-evaluating the type and quality of information/news that I provide here and after chatting with someone high up in the SP community who will remain nameless, I've come to the conclusion that some changes need to be made. Here is a rough outline of the new policy for news here from now on.
  1. Rumors will not be posted unless they come from a very good source. Rumors are interesting but in 90% of the cases they turn out to be untrue and do not inform people what is really going on.
  2. People sending me news need to have some kind of confirmation or other proof that there news is real and not fake. People claiming to work at Virgin or work close to Billy and the band especially need to show proof or I know you're a crock.
  3. News posted will be confirmed from at least one other valid source. The valid source could include other large websites such as sonicnet.com, newspapers, TV guides/TV, radio etc.
  4. Other such news like site updates or additions will still be posted as well as for sale items at other sites like cdnow.com.
  5. Anything else that I may have forgotten or left out will be at my discretion whether I post it or not.

Hopefully this will help make Netphoria a more informative and accurate news source. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Dawson's Creek


The song Perfect is being used in some Dawson's Creek commercials and ending credits. Keep your eye for it if you watch the show.

Rolling Stone


From the latest version of Rolling Stone magazine the Smashing Pumpkins appear inside it with a big picture of Billy Corgan, a quote from it:

"At a time when bands like the Beastie Boys and Hole take four years to make new records, the Smashing Pumpkins aren't wasting a day; they're set to enter the studio before the end of the year to record the follow-up to June's Adore."

Also Adore is still #7 on the RollingStone readers top 20. As for the new album I've heard rumors that Flood(produced MCIS) will produced it.


Vote for the Pumpkins


Also from Rolling Stone, the Readers Poll is having a vote. Go vote for the Pumpkins:

Hacked again.......(sigh)


Yet again some immature fucking idiot has hacked my page. I am growing impatient with this crap, I try to provide a informative Smashing Pumpkins page and some assholes try to destroy it. I'm sorry for swearing but this is the third time something like this has happened.

All the information you saw yesturday was put there by who ever hacked the page, none of it was real. I think it's really sick to make Fake news and try and make me look bad. You can see the hacked page here.

I'm starting to wonder if this is worth it if this continues, but I have an idea who it may have been.

Thank you for the Pictures


Thank you very much for all the pictures sent in, I have enough to last for weeks. Please DON'T send me any more because it's taking me half in hour to download all my e-mail, but thanks again and look forward to seeing your pictures that you sent being posted here soon.

Upcoming Pumpkins


I've recieved reports from two reliable sources I have that the Smashing Pumpkins are already in the studio working on their next album. As to what stage they are at it is unknown, however their schedule has been exrtemely light with the exception of a few appreances and performances here and there. Billy in his own words said he would like to get back in the studio in late August/September and with his hinting of his dissapointment of poor record sales of Adore, Billy may want to try again quickly. As to the style of next album a statement made that it would be "the greatest fucking rock album ever" has been down played by Billy over the Adore tour. We'll just have to be patient for the next little while.

Starla.org is back


I've noticed that Starla.org has returned after being off-line for a long time.
