Smashing Pumpkins

We used to call them the Mashing Mumpkins. I don't know why, I guess we thought it was funny. I used to collect their vinyl... before wife and kids and those kinda things came into my life... aka back when I had money. This song rocks about as hard as any of their later stuff, along with Tales Of A Scorched Earth and Bodies. I have not heard anything off of the new release... but this song still kicks my hind end.

I was enjoying a quiet evening here, geeking out the MP3 collection. (This entails using Media Monkey to ensure that every REM song has REM as the band name, not R.E.M. or some variant thereof. I know, I'm a dork. Anyway ...) I was flipping through Smashing Pumpkins, and hit upon this track, and thought, "Man, this song was AWESOME when it came out." Thing is, it still holds up. I wonder why it got so little love when it was released. I doubt the video helped; ... MORE

Zeitgeist got mixed reviews, some of which are founded not on the music, but on the re-conceptualization of the Pumpkins' direction (See Stephen Entwistle's review on www.allmusic.com). To me the weakness is not with the conceptualization - if Billy Corgan wants to lament about this failing country instead of his tortured soul, more power to him, regardless of past endeavors - the weakness of the original cd lied in the lack of eclecticism and acoustic melodies. For... MORE

Billy Corgan wants more cha-ching. Seems Zeitgeist didn’t bring in the usual big dough for the band. Now Smashing Pumpkins are suing Virgin Records, their home during the release of Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Adore, and Machina/The Machines of God saying the label used the band’s name in promotional deals that hurt the band's credibility with fans. More specifically, the Smashing Pumpkins are pissed that Virgin licensed their likeline... MORE

Whaddya think?

I really don't have a lot to say here, other than I'm amazed that nobody has ever posted this song. Smashing Pumpkins' best song, by far, if for nothing else, than for the, as Jack Black would put it, the 'face-melting' solo beginning at 3:09.... MORE

I did not forget about this project, did you? Oh D'Arcy, you crazy chick...I never believed a word Billy said about you until January Y2K... Smashing Pumpkins - Beautiful from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness ... MORE

Smashing Pumpkins played something like 11 shows in a row in SF during their Zeitgeist tour last year, then took a break in L.A. before continuing the tour. Well, we were told they took a "break" but in fact, they went into the studio and recorded a string of acoustic songs. The songs were produced by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain and will be released as a new acoustic EP called American Gothic. The EP is being released on 11 February, in time for their upcoming UK sh... MORE
