^^^ this album rules, there are arguments for me cutting more bc it's 56 minutes long but most of the classic pumpkins albums sail past 50 so whatever, wanted to give this a proper arc and make the sequence feel intentional and atmospheric (the full album sequence is... pretty arbitrary)
genuinely surprised at how much i like the whole thing tho

I listened to the new Smashing Pumpkins record. It's like Corgan decided to make all four Kiss solo records and all of them sound like the one made by Peter Criss.— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) May 7, 2023

Someone joked that Stephen Malkmus should audition.

Why is it big music news that the 2024 Smashing Pumpkins are looking for a new third guitar player(?)
― Wooly Bully (2005 Remaster) (morrisp), Saturday, 6 January 2024 02:20 (three months ago) link
because they're making it an open audition along with a janky graphic that was thrown together in 2 minutes on Microsoft Paint? I thought the humor in this situation was readily apparent but you never know with ILX

It’s being reported everywhere (example)

I mean I guess it’s somewhat unusual for a band that still fills large venues (even if they’re decades past their prime) to hold an open audition, but I’m surprised even SP fans would care much about this.

It’s a Smashing Pumpkins thread tbf

Yeah I didn’t mean this thread, but never mind me. (Like former guitarist Jeff Schroeder, I will be watching and listening!)

I have tickets to see them in July, in Gliwice, Poland of all places. Twenty-eight years after my last SP show…
