A proper release of Machina II and all the Zwan stuff would be amazing.

My brother and I were looking at The World is a Vampire tour tickets because 1: Pumpkins and 2: woah I can't believe they're coming to Australia with the wrestling and everything but General Admission is 200 bucks! Sorry Billy, not happening.

Yeah part of the reason I quit on the 33 podcast is Billy has no loving idea of what getting cancelled is and also how the internet works

Adore is my favourite SP album by a mile but it took me a long time to get there. Hearing songs like Blank Page and Shame played live at a Triple J gig really helped me "get it". It's an album I have to sit down and listen to all the way through though. I didn't know about LMGTWTY being an Adore track initially, it does make sense though. Ava Adore was a good single pick for Adore, and I love Perfect but wasn't a good single choice to represent the album. And tying the video to 1979 would have pissed people off even further. Now, Appels + Oranjes wouldn't have represented the rest of the album well either but would it have been a banging single? Sure!

Baron von Eevl posted:If you think A+O would have been a better single than Perfect you're insane. Oh it wouldn't have been, but it's a fun thought experiment. You could pick 5 different songs for singles and given people 5 different impressions of the rest of the album.

It was an early favorite, reckons me a bit of Stars Fall In from the early SP days. "Glorious" and "What Have They Done to Me" got me super excited listening to bootlegs. I still enjoyed MSotS, but those given the studio treatment would have been

Also trashing Gish and Adore invalidates that list massively. And Whir is great, crazy stuff

In the early 2000s I was messing around with some audio programs (there was some top flight audio editing software that had a bug with it's 30 day trial where you just got to keep it forever). I used it mostly to record live gigs off of the radio - it's how I've got mp3s of a Pumpkins gig at Sydney. What I'm getting at is I found Machina 1's wall of sound not enough. Not sure if it's just a bad rip but I felt like my copy of Age of Innocence was too quiet so I tried to increase the amplitude in that app and distorted the gently caress out of it!

I always put the quality of Machina II down to being distributed in the dial up days. Easy to imagine people passing it on, reuploading it in places and not knowing/caring about the mp3 quality.

Guess old Bill knows when not to be an overbearing blowhard, and that time is when he's on a date. Didn't he date one of the Veronicas?

Noise Machine posted:Honestly his NWA purchase makes a ton more sense when you find out him and his brother bonded over wrestling as kids. Dude had money and wanted to buy the thing that made them both happy, why shouldn't he? Plus he owned/was involved in Revolution Pro in Chicago before that. Dude loves wrasslin'

CherryCola posted:Dealing with airport stuff and listening to Zwan and yes this album holds the gently caress up. I feel like it would benefit from a slight remaster but considering how badly remastered Glynis was…I’m afraid. As long as Spotify and other streaming services have both versions eventually then all good. It only sucks when they replace the originals with the lovely remasters.

Not to start a big religion argument but how you can be a big Christian and also believe in lizard people doesn't make sense to me. If man was made in God's image then what does that make lizard people? Anyway, I watched about two minutes of that video and shut it off. But then some of Adore came up on shuffle and I listened to it all last night so just ignore anything Billy says and listen to the good tunes imo

Nah, the mix on Mary Star of the Sea was way better than Zeitgeist. quote:'Untitled', aside from being a fantastic song, is how all modern pumpkins tracks should be mixed. gently caress I love that track.
