Moby has apologised to Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan for calling him a “deadbeat” who “owes him a remix”.Back in 1997, the ‘Porcelain’ artist referred to the ‘1979’ singer as a “deadbeat” and told MTV News that Corgan owed him a remix, while on Corgan’s home turf at the Q101 Jamboree outside Chicago.“A lot of times when I do remixes, rather than get the artist to pay me, I work on a barter system,” Moby told the outlet. “Right now my debtors, people who owe me, are Soundgarden and the Smashing Pumpkins, I did remixes for them and they didn’t pay me anything for them.”He continued: “We did it with the understanding that they were supposed to do a remix for me, but unfortunately…with the Smashing Pumpkins I did a year and a half ago, and every time I see Billy I ask him where my remix is, but I can understand he’s kind of busy.”Now, Moby has opened up about his statement in a new interview with Stereogum.

15.04.2024 - 14:59 / nme.com
Countdown presenter Rachel Riley has apologised after a backlash over a tweet regarding the Sydney mall stabbing.Over the weekend, six people were killed and others injured in a stabbing attack at the Westfield Bondi Junction Mall in Sydney, with the perpetrator identified as a man called Joel Cauchi, who was later shot dead by police.Following the attack, Riley shared a tweet in which she wrongly claimed that the attack was linked to “globalised intifada”. Police have claimed that the attack was “related to the mental health” of Cauchi and that there was “no ideological motivation” (via BBC News).In the since-deleted post, the presenter wrote: “For 6 months now, people have been out on our streets proudly calling for the ‘Intifada Revolution.’ If you want to know what ‘Globalised Intifada’ looks like, see the Sydney Mall.
5 victims stabbed to death and 8 transferred to hospital, including a baby, due to one man and a knife.“In the second intifada over 1,000 Israelis were murdered in restaurants, on buses and in the streets by suicide bombings, stabbings, stoning, lynching, shooting rockets. The youngest victim was just 9 hours old.
Sydney mall, multiple times over is what they’ve been proudly calling for.”The tweet has sparked a backlash on social media, with some accusing the presenter of Islamaphobia. In a follow-up post, Riley said her “intention with this tweet was not to say this attack was caused by any ideation or to link it to Islamic extremism”.“At the time we did not know who the attacker was, and as such I made no reference,” she wrote.
