Billy Corgan at South by Southwest Interactive… live blogged

I’m going to try to compile all of our Billy Corgan at SXSWi coverage here… as best I can. Bear with me as this post may through go changes throughout the day. 

Last night, Corgan appeared at Google’s “Android House” at Lustre Pearl, a well known local bar and music venue.

Based on the tweets I’m seeing, Corgan made remarks that were critical of the recording industry and promoted his rediscovered love for the album. He was on the ”Google Play” stage, Google Play being the new name for Android Market, which Google is rebranding and rolling out new features for… I’m particularly fascinated by the Google Play Artists’ Hub.

Khan Academy launches iPad app with complete library of over 2,700 educational videos

Although there are a few unofficial apps in the App Store that allow you to access content from the Khan Academy, the online education portal has just launched an official iPad app. Available for free in the App Store now, the app provides access to the organization’s over 2,700 educational videos that cover a wide range of subjects from K-12 math and science, to history and finance. The biggest difference between the new official app and those from third-party devs is you can now log in to your Khan Academy account, get credit for watching videos, and track goals and achievements from within the app. The app also provides fully subtitled videos with the ability to browse by subtitle, an enhanced video scrubber, and lets you download videos and playlists for offline viewing.

Billy Corgan on The Rock of Chris Jericho

Billy mentioned how hard it has been to write the book, saying it takes as much time as making a record. He mentioned how he had to be the one to write it, crediting Pumpkins fans as being able to see through it if someone else were to write it.
