Podría haber salido hoy, perfectamente.
demsiada carga sentimental para un niñato enamoradizo con el pelo teñido de rosa xDDD
I was surprised when someone mentioned to me that today was the 10th anniversary of the Adore album...my first thought was surprise that it had been that long since, and how quickly time passes...it seems like a long time ago and yet, in some strange ways, not that far back either...
recently, when we went in to record 'Superchrist', it was the first time I had been back to Sunset Sound studios since the completion of the Adore album...some of the same people still work there, and spoke very kindly to me of the time spent making that album...we were working in another room for 'superchrist', but I did ask to go to peek inside the other room where many of the songs were cut, and it's funny how time can play tricks with your mind as far as the proportion of things...the tracking room was full of amps and guitars back then, and so empty it looked quite large...i could see in my mind's eye the three of us sitting in a small circle recording 'shame', a song I had just written that morning...and playing take after take after take of 'for Martha', the band in the main room and me at the piano in the isolation booth, trying to reach them thru glass...
the reaction at the time of the album's release, if memory serves me correctly, was overwhelming negative...it was a very naïve thing to try to do, to make an album that sounded little like the one before, and which spoke very openly about mourning and loss...D'arcy in particular was very critical at the time of the decision to even call it a Pumpkins album, saying that it really should have been my first solo album...then I didn't know what to think, because the hopes I placed on the album, mistaken as they were (that the band could be seen in a more open light that had more to do with artistry), were dashed in all the talk of what it didn't sound like and how it was a failure thru and thru...and secretly yearned that the embrace of it would heal some of the wounds of my mothers death and probably honestly the death of the band as well...but none of that worked, none of it came true, and it has been a circuitous journey ever since...it does seem to be the demarcation point of what was, and what became, and what might be...the fact that after 10 years the album has found it's warmer place here and there shows that it's birth and death and re-birth are very much in line with the themes of the album...which is one of hope, and taking a chance that the moment lived properly is ultimately more important than in what gets written down later...
i lived that album quite deeply, and maybe that's why I still can't listen to it...and I can no longer blame anyone if they don't either...it's one of 'those', an 'other', something apart...and the pun of the title, crude as it is, serves quite simply:
Q: "when is a door not a door?"
A: "when it is a jar"
...see, bad joke...
Q: "when is an album not an album?
A: "when it is a-dore...
D'arcy in particular was very critical at the time of the decision to even call it a Pumpkins album, saying that it really should have been my first solo album...
Muy, muy negativo Billy con 'Adore'. Sorprendente que *aún* no pueda escucharlo.

Pueees yo no le veo tan negativo. Yo lo que entiendo es que no puede oírlo porque le trae recuerdos, porque joder, si nosotros lloramos al oírlo, imagínate cómo se pondrá él, que lo ha hecho! xD
El chiste me ha recordado a un personaje que tenia en el wow que se llamaba Adore, y claro, los guiris me llamaban "a door" y el cachondeo con los amigos de mi hermano era bestial x__D.
Es "curioso" que siempre diga cositas negativas de james y ahora de darcy, seguro que también habría buenos comentarios pero no los dices xD.
Habia un documental de cuando grababan el adore en el estudio, alguien lo podría subir? no sé si eran 2 o 4 partes, yo no lo tenia entero y a saber donde lo tengo...
eterna pregunta: ahora que todo el mundo tiene el ordenador como con más aparatos que un avión, Alguien lo ha pasado a PC? Yo lo tengo en VHS pero por eso mismo no lo veo hace milesss. Anda a ver si alguien que lo tenga se anima, que se está apeteciendo que no veas! La actuación de To Sheila no tiene precio vamos... :roll:
