Thread for posting in every time you're listening to The Smashing Pumpkins

[SunnyB]

Things I am less a sucker for:

• drum solos
• spoken word sections about crows
• realising that I am live-blogging listening to an obscure Pumpkins B-side in my dressing gown at 21:30 on Saturday night

5 minutes left - first half probably impressed me more, but will find its way into my regular playlists I reckon. On to Siamese Dream next (but not now).

I can’t imagine starting a Pumpkins exploration with Gossamer, a tune that polarized even their staunchest fans live…but I sincerely applaud you. I personally enjoyed seeing Gossamer played live because it afforded me a chance to really zone out and just go all SP zen and I’m all about that.

I am listening to Pale Horse (same playlist as before).

I am listening to the rat in a cage song

ooh, just remembered they played the current hit dingle on the radio on my drive to work this fair morn. I’d have posted then but although I would have been willing to risk the lives of everyone else on the road, i didn’t want to face the wrath of any police.

sorry didn’t see this thread but here to report I was listening to selected tracks off of Siamese Dream the other night, inspired by this post from yer man @TAFH33 :

What music is good for your mental health?

Also “Mayonaise” by The Smashing Pumpkins. It’s such a sad song and you can really hear the pain and desperation in Billy’s voice, but there’s this underlying hope too and it’s really kind of the most beautiful thing ever written. I’d consider the song itself a reason to live.

I’m listening to an average fleetwood Mac cover. I prefer listening to the smashing pumpkins. When they play their own material they’re still pretty fucking great

[Avery]

I was momentarily listening during and as part of a History Channel advert

You’ll be perfect just luke WPC

I was just listening to the smashing pumpkins’ new album. Could not register it here as my phone was in a faraday cage (pouch)

Busted are listening to smashing pumpkins (1.20 mark)

[spiritofjazz]

Just listened to their new one (Knights of Malta).

Quite like it now, ok cheers bye.

I hate it so much, reminds me of that kind of bloated post britpop era where people were adding string arrangements and soul backing vocals all over the show

[pinkybrain]

It does sound a bit like be here now

[Choccy1983]

Here we go…
