Anyone else love the Pumpkins?
My favorite albums are probably Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and Machina II: Friends and Enemies of Modern Music.

What's the new album? I never picked it up. They were such a great sound when they came out (back in the day) but I really haven't been to interested in picking them back up. Dunno why.

I thought Disarm was a cool tune when it was on the radio, but overall they never did much for me, I know they have alot of fans & alot of material, I was just listening to other things when they were big.
If you stay ready.....you never have to get ready!!!

That would be "Zeitgast," I haven't heard it yet either.
Machina II was their last album before they originally broke up 9 years ago, released exclusively online.
You can download it here if your interested, production isn't incredible since it's ripped from the vinyl masters, but there's still some killer ideas on here:

I liked them live or live on TV etc... I never bought a Cd by them though. The bald mellon was into producing for awhile No?

I'm not sure to be honest.
He had another band going awhile ago fairly well known for this song:
Other than that, I know he's released a book or two of poetry.

Zeitgeist is a decent album. Someone turned me on, but my box crashed and I lost it, so I haven't heard it in a while.

He sorta helped out with some hole songs and a little on some Marilyn manson stuff. He also put out a pretty good solo album.
Haha, I completely forgot Billy and Courtney Love were an item.

That sounds pretty straight forward, but I don't remember hearing anything about it. What was the deal with that again?
The no more albums, only singles thing? This is all that's really been said:
"The listening patterns have changed, so why are we killing ourselves to do albums, to create balance, and do the arty track to set up the single? It's done."

By the way, check out this tune dude:
Produced by Rick Rubin, it's a travesty it was never released as a single.

Haha, sorry, not much to watch although I'm sure there's some live performances on there somewhere.
