Well he was vaguely comparing her absence to Lindsey Buckingham's in Fleetwood Mac...

What I mean to say is that if his main objection to a so-called Pumpkins reunion with Billy, James, and Jimmy is that D'arcy is not around, then he must have a hugely favorable opinion of whatever she contributed to that band.
Btw I always liked the funny Scott Weiland impression after the STP line.

Keep in mind that Billy hit Pavement hard when they reunited in 2010: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/nov/16/billy-corgan-pavement

apparently they streamed their seattle show last month on twitter in case anyone wants to live/relive this show
i skipped right to "porcelina" and damn
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 21 September 2018 22:40 (five years ago) link
yeah actually i recommend anyone who likes this band do what i just did
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 21 September 2018 22:46 (five years ago) link
same
and yeah when that video went up I did the same thing. Porcelina was the highlight of the show for me.

they sound really really great
shame Corgan said that Australian promoters aren't interested in bringing the tour here

James is looking sufficiently embarrassed during the Mark McGrath portion of the "Silvery Sometimes" video. As he should!
― Sam Weller, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 14:20 (five years ago) link
that video is very dumb but also still pretty fun, glad billy gives a shit again
“silvery sometimes” is the sp song i wanted after “untitled”
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 17 October 2018 14:51 (five years ago) link
it's a really good song. definitely get early 00s vibes (maybe it's just that "we're in the middle" hook)
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 17:01 (five years ago) link
I'm not sure Corgan could ever be accused of "not giving a shit" when it comes to his music - if anything he has the opposite problem: he gives too much of a shit. Even in the periods considered to be his worst, I'm sure he was doing what he felt was his best at the time.

if you could avoid ever referring to one of my posts again that'd be great thanks

That "Snail" performance with Chino Moreno is cool.
― jmm, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link
just realized yesterday that the end of "Window Paine" is a direct reference/rip/reprise of "Rumble" by Link Wray. just two chords - D to E - but the strumming pattern and Jimmy's drumming make the reference explicit.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 21:21 (five years ago) link
My neighbors are always blaring Rush through the walls and I swear there's a part in one of their songs that's almost the exact same as the end of Window Paine.
― Fetchboy, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 18:17 (five years ago) link
Man, I love your neighbors. Now I have to dial up Window Paine and see if I can solve this mystery.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
Reminds me a bit of certain passages toward the end of 2112
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 18:37 (five years ago) link
Yeah, there's definitely a Rush track that it reminds me of, but I can't think of what it is. Great to see Brad being his usual charming self, too!

also don't misgender me you shithead
Okay, then just pretend that I wrote "their" instead of "his", since I ain't psychic. Still FP'd you anyway for calling me a shithead, trying to start an argument and generally being aggressive. I think you need to calm down.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
i asked you not to address me and you persist in doing it!!!

fuck you for this btw
Brad, since coming back I've been posting sporodically and without incident until this sudden and to be honest totally unwarranted bout of aggression from you. Again, calm down, because you're acting like a twat.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 19:04 (five years ago) link
feel like turrican should've been banned longer, perhaps forever

Okay well, I'm going to get on with talking about music and I'll leave you to talk about me and Brad to yell at whatever cloud he doesn't like the look of today.

you misgendered me again

Ah, sorry, that wasn't intentional.

can't think of a precedent in their catalogue for this tbh! maybe some of the Teargarden singles? oh boy...
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 20:05 (five years ago) link
lmfao at Billy's "woah oh oh whoaa whoaa whoaaaaa" vocal being put thru a Leslie
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link
this reminds me of ELO and Magnolia Electric Co. (!!)

Talking about Teargarden - I know that he's pretty much given up on it and junked an entire recorded albums worth of stuff in favour of his solo LP and the "reformed" Pumpkins, but it's such a shame that he hasn't seen it through to completion. As much as I didn't rate it on the whole, there were still a couple of things I liked on Monuments... and the pre-Oceania standalone singles.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
I'd love to hear what that canned Monuments... follow-up sounded like. A Zwan box would be the ultimate, though!
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 20:26 (five years ago) link
in 2009 (lol), he said Teargarden would be 44 songs documenting "the Fool's Journey," which I always thought he followed through on, perhaps unintentionally: if you add up Monuments, Oceania, and the singles, you get about 44 songs, and as far as documenting "the Fool's Journey" - well, Billy definitely followed through on that one.
One track from the scrapped Monuments followup (Day for Night) was used as an instrumental intro to some wrestling show. "Roustabout":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeTG0gMkdNs
Also keep in mind that "Solara" is a Monuments/DFN holdover - he wrote about it quite a bit when he was doing that SP Nexus blog in 2014.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:08 (five years ago) link
wasn't "the spaniards" also supposed to be on day for night
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:13 (five years ago) link
if you add up Monuments, Oceania, and the singles, you get about 44 songs
34 by my count, so I guess Day for Night was supposed to be 10 tracks?
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:18 (five years ago) link
yes and yes
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:23 (five years ago) link
So, he was >< this close to finishing the thing and chose not to! Weird.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:29 (five years ago) link
Was there ever a tracklisting for Day for Night out there before the release got canned?
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:34 (five years ago) link
no, just a long list of songs and song fragments worked on. not sure if it's still up but you can find all of them on the Nexus blog. it was 30+ titles at least, but that's including Monuments stuff
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 22:21 (five years ago) link
"alienation" is really good
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 12 November 2018 16:32 (five years ago) link
in fact the last four songs are generally really inspired
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 12 November 2018 16:40 (five years ago) link
how does it flow as a record? three singles so far are all pretty different
― flappy bird, Monday, 12 November 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link
it doesn't really flow at all, it's definitely a rebranded ep
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 12 November 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
right, so not even the jarring but thought through sequence of MCIS? just a collection of songs?

yep
