Que saque los conciertos en video! por audios no pago nada hamijo!

[Dagger]

Ahí ahí, mucho video. Yo lo prefiero también a los audios.
De todas formas, lo de la caja es bastante inteligente. Yo creo que todo Dios se queda más contento que con un rollo de suscripciones que se puede quedar abandonado en un par de meses.


Sobre lo demás... Pues veremos. Como siempre estas cartas no dicen nada de nada. xd

[darkestfears]

Conciertitos en vídeo joer, que ya va siendo hora...

Vaya comentarios de su twitter, se le va la pinza al hombre xD A mí me da que taaanto proyecto, que si los pumpkins "soy" lo más, que si tengo para meterme en 2 bandas pero también quiero hacer cosas en solitario personalmente creo que justamente demuestra lo contrario: que no tiene ni pajolera idea de por dónde tirar ahora mismo, en plan no me apetece realmente mucho nada pero "lo quiero todo", como los niños pequeños xD... Céntrate, Billy! :S

Friday message from Billy Corgan

Good Friday y'all...

Just wanted to take a moment to say hello to everyone, wishing you well from here to there. Still working hard on getting these darn songs together. This past week has been trying to take the best one's and get them ready to record, which means some kind of realized arrangement and lyrics, which requires some teeth pulling and self-flaggelation to get me to say anything at all. Whatever happened to me during that poetry tour of 2004 has made it quite difficult for me to open up the channel to speak freely. Working on it.

I recently got to visit C Love in the studio and she looked and sounded great, as she is still working hard to complete her album. Also got to go to game 7 of the Lakers-Rockets series. I even went to see Star Trek which I thought was quite good. So you see, even I go outside sometimes. I am thinking quite hard of writing a book, had a meeting about it. Still looking for the right guidance on what I'm trying to really say. Again, refer back to 2004 for the root of where the obstacle comes from.

As I said recently, I am still on target for putting out new music in October. There certainly is no shortage of ideas to choose from. And I think I have my drummer of the future. I've worked with him so far for one week and all indications are really good that he's the man for the job. Going to work with him some more before it becomes official. Whoever takes the job has quite big shoes to fill, no doubt about it. I see Jeff every once in awhile as he's been busy with work. I hear there is a Lassie Foundation gig coming up I think this week so anybody in LA try to check out Jeff's band. Spoke to Ginger the other day about maybe getting together and playing. This I have to see because she is so tiny and all the reports I'm getting are that she is the cutest pregnant woman ever so I guess she'll be playing sitting down? I've never played with a pregnant woman before so I'm not sure how it all works. Guess I should have paid more attention in biology.

Keep those prayers coming, I need 'em...

God bless all the SP fans. Its a life of suffering, I know

L, BC Sent by a lost soul...

Resumen: que ya tiene medio-elegido el bateria nuevo, que hay uno que le convence mucho pero que esperará un poco antes de hacerlo oficial. Tambien dice que está elegiendo sus mejores canciones y puliendolas un poco antes de ponerse a grabarlas, pero que piensa que para octubre ya habra sacado algun temita. Por otro lado esta pensando en escribir otro libro xd.

Ademas, cuenta algunas chorradas como que estuvo viendo a courtney love y suena y se ve muy bien xD, o que estuvo en el septimo partido entre lakers y rockets. Tambien habla de ginger, que esta muy preñada ya, y de jeff, que tocará con sus lassie foundation en los angeles la semana que viene.

Bueno bueno, al menos sigue contandonos cosas de vez en cuando xD

[Waznei]

Da la sensación de que anda bastante perdido, y lo de escribir un libro da miedito. ¿Más poesía? Aaay, Billyto, billyto, hazle caso a darkest.... Céntrate!

[molul]

Coño, ¿no quería centrarse en una canción a la vez para sacar lo mejor de cada tema del próximo disco? ¿De qué sirve esa metodología si se pone al mismo tiempo con el proyecto de los archivos, con un libro nuevo, y blablabla?

En fin, suscribo lo que suscribe Waznei que dijo darkest. Billy parece totalmente "lost"

[Dagger]

En fin, suscribo lo que suscribe Waznei que dijo darkest. Billy parece totalmente "lost"

Y la prueba está en lo del libro, que lo quiere escribir pero... No sabe qué es lo que quiere contar.

A ver si se centra en algo.

[r0dia]

Que se centre en las canciones y no en el libro a ser posible. De todos modos, hasta que no podamos oir cosas nuevas tocará esperar y suspirar XD.

[molul]

God bless all the SP fans. Its a life of suffering, I know

Ya te digo, Billy XDD

[THE IMPLODING VOICE]

Estoy de acuerdo. El libro sobra. Que lo haya cuando se retire. Que se dedique a los Pumpkins y si cada mucho tiempo quiere hacer algún proyectillo en solitario o en paralelo que lo haga, pero si él es el único Pumpkin, que se deshuese con ese nombre y que haga lo que sea mientras sea bueno.

Más sobre el mítico... ARCHIVO PUMPKIN. 


Hello SP World,

I hope everyone is doing fine. We've been burning the midnight oil with the SP Archives. We've been able to track down a few things from the early days that will excite you all. The project is coming together very nicely. The biggest thing that will keep this project alive is your support. You are the audience. You are the ones reading this. You are the ones who are interested in the archives. One of the ideas we've been kicking around is to offer a pre-order for the box set. Other artists do pre-orders when they have new releases like Prince and Pearl Jam. We would need to sell a certain number of pre-orders in order for it to be a success. If we don't have enough pre-orders in a designated period of time, then the project would probably be shelved. I know that there are going to be some people out there that might wait until the set gets released to decide if they should buy it or not. We would reward those who pre-order by offering an extra disc in their set. This way there is an incentive for you to jump on the pre-sale and show us that you support the archives project.

Here are some more of your questions:

Chris Morin asks: Does SP record (video and/or audio) for EVERY show they do? If so, when did they start?

The band has recorded a lot of shows. Billy even recorded the very first show at Chicago 21. There is quite a bit of material from the early days of the band. The band really started getting aggressive about recording shows and rehearsals around the time of Mellon Collie. Pretty much every single show after that has been recorded and there are also quite a few shows that were videotaped. There is video footage from many shows from the Adore tour in the archive from the Adore Documentary project.

Tom Woo asks: Are there many demos, instrumentals, or Billy solo recordings from Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie, and Adore that aren't circulating?

There is a ton! The amount of demos that are in the hands of the fan community is a very small fraction compared to what is in the archive. Just browsing through, I've seen different acoustic and alternate versions of songs that nobody knows about!

Dylan Hill asks: Is there or isn't there a live recording of Tales of a Scorched Earth?

That's a question that has been floating around the fan community for many years, but to the best of my knowledge they haven't played that one live. I've looked through the archive for a live recording, and I have yet to find one.

Thanks for your questions

Lo del Archivo Pumpkin me lo imagino ya tipo Indiana Jones. Seguro que hay que poner el logo de corazon de smashing en una vara para que a las 3 y 33 minutos el sol lo atraviese y te indique el lugar exacto donde está enterrado ese tesoroooo.

Lo del pre-order me fastidia, soy más de ver el producto y que me de por comprarlo así rollo impulsivo.

Lo mejor eso, que haya muchas demos por ahí ocultas. Aunque casi que lo mejor es una selección en doble cd y sacar un Lost Songs 1988-2000.

Quien quiere oir "Tales...." en directo?? puede ser la hecatombe. Eso sí, que no la toque ahora que el Billy ya tiene más de 40 y no se yo si la acaba o le da un jamacuco antes.

[molul]

Pues a mí lo del disco extra por preordenar me ha convencido, me tiraré a la piscina. Y si luego me disgusta, pues nunca mais me fiaré del archivo.

[wasempty]

Joder que pesaos! que saquen cosas ya y se dejen de especular tanto... aburren mucho

[Waznei]

Es tontería resistirse. Si yo ya me conozco y sé que lo voy a comprar antes o después, asi que sí, soy carne de pre-order, pueden contar conmigo ya. Además lo que dicen es bastante interesante, promete mucho. ¿Dónde hay que apuntarse?
