spfc.org : tour history - dates : 2010/09/30 (http://www.spfc.org/tours/date.html?tour_id=1451)

In The Arms Of Sleep though, that's pretty special

Honestly....I think it's kinda boring. But I WANTED to like it..does that count?

Good God his lyrics are so apallingly transparent now.

and he's basically calling himself Jesus.

^i was just thinking that

Actually there's no "basically" about it. Keep working on those lyrics Bill!

What other entities would work better? My vote is for Orpheus.

When Bill cusses out of nervousness he shows his true self.

It must be awkward for Claire just sitting up there, hanging out while Billy cusses.

and his scarf.

Making Spanish language jokes.

Making Spanish language jokes.

:banging:

at least he sang with emotion

at least he sang with emotion

You can sing twinkle twinkle little star with emotion...but it just makes people want to stab you.

I just cannot believe how bad this is

I need a fucking hit too after listening to that

Shit, that was classic Bill comedy gold.

awkward tuning/song intro
awkward Jesus reference
awkward internet reference
classic bill fuck up
awkward swear fest to distract from fuck up
awkward silence
finally song comes.....awkward boring song
the end

here's in the arms of sleep

YouTube - Billy Corgan - In the Arms of Sleep - Librairie Atout Livre, Paris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzwsEe7dRoc&feature=player_embedded)

if anything this proves he needs to play more solo shows/material

Fucking stupid song.

Thanks, I needed that!

Am I the only one who likes this song?

It sounds really good to me...

Also... a sign that things are moving in the right direction... he played "In the Arms of Sleep" - probably the best song he's ever written

As happy as I am that he played In the Arms of Sleep, I don't really like that thing he does when he rushes syllables... the pacing of his delivery on the album is perfect... that's the one thing he just shouldn't fuck with when he plays live (for all songs, not just this one)

Probably. How does this prove things are going in the right direction? Which part of this song can make you think his song writing/lyrics have gotten better?

yeah, i was thinking the same thing.. He's been doing that for the last 3 or 4 years now. It's almost like he doesn't trust his ability to sing like he did on the older albums anymore.

this is the same guy who wrote porcelina? really?

Jesus needs a shit.

i like it up through the first sentence. as soon as he starts the second sentence it sucks

I want him to go back to playing Spangled!! XD

sounds like he purposely threw in that dissonant chord to say 'hey look i learned a new chord and i canz be creative with it!' why oh why has his song writing turned so cheesy and tacky?

I want him to go back to playing Spangled!! XD

OMG LOL!!!!

here is corgan, hitting his absolute 'highest peak of creativity.'

Themes that Billy should stay focused on when writing new material: Love, his shitty childhood, being depressed, and empty party afternoons.

how does the o-board like it

and empty party afternoons.

they wont come back.

sounds like he purposely threw in that dissonant chord to say 'hey look i learned a new chord and i canz be creative with it!' why oh why has his song writing turned so cheesy and tacky?

Hmmm, sounds like a C#7/Ab ?

EDIT:
It sounds like a 7th chord with a lower 5th bass note, but there's some oddly tuned open strings in there.

I like abortion

how does the o-board like it

pretty mixed, although I'm surprised that some of the usual gushers think it's an abortion.

a bunch of you guys really loved the acoustic residency songs that I thought were mostly rudimentary, so I thought there might be some love for this.

Arms of Sleep just blows away all the new crap he's written.

How the hell am I a gusher? I like abortions after everything that has to do with Billy Corgan.

Haha ANTI corganist

I actually didn't mind that song too much. I didn't try to pay attention to the lyrics.

but then listening to ITAOS afterwards made it seem not as good

and holy crap billy actually sounds INTO these songs.

why wont he just go solo? :(

I see "to Sheila" on the setlist... do we have a recording of that?

this makes me sleepy:

YouTube - Billy Corgan & Claire Fercak musical reading @ A Tout Livre book-store, Paris Sept 30 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB0uAR9cbaA)

you know what? I am fucking demanding a recording of To Sheila. chop chop

Song stinks, but I like the vocals on this and ITAOS. Especially the latter, he's putting actual emotion into it.

I haven't listened to lyrics and the song is surprisingly okay.

of course we get a high quality jesus needs a hit and ITAOS sounds like it's being played inside a bowl of mashed potatoes.

Haha ANTI corganist

YOU DON'T EVEN GET THE FUCKING JOKE

ugggh

Of course I do..that's why it's funny. Just cuz I just started POSTING doesn't mean I haven't been READING for a while. There are options in life, sir.

Don't mind him he didn't start listening to Tool until after 2000.

And he still likes it.

YOU DON'T EVEN GET THE FUCKING JOKE

ugggh

Why wouldnt he? I've been here longer than you think too.

And he still likes it.

hahaha

ahahahaha Eulogy I was just yanking your chain. See you next Tuesday!

are these videos from different sources? anyone have any intel on if they are going to hit the web? (downloadable, not youtube) :D

Hmmm, sounds like a C#7/Ab ?

EDIT:
It sounds like a 7th chord with a lower 5th bass note, but there's some oddly tuned open strings in there.

it's a C7/G. nothing crazy happening there. if anything, he's leaving the B string open, which turns it into a C7add7/G.

I can't believe how shockingly AWFUL the song is.

He officially went from writing mediocre songs to writing shit songs now.

it's a C7/G. nothing crazy happening there. if anything, he's leaving the B string open, which turns it into a C7add7/G.

That's still pretty neat.

Ha, that chord caught my attention too. Bolls actually used it in another song like that, though...erm...Terrapin? But then again, that's not really his song, is it? ;)

Even BLUE SKIES blows the new stuff out of the water. Who would have thought? Especially this version:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cd1b5DE33c4?fs=1&amp;hl=de_DE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cd1b5DE33c4?fs=1&amp;hl=de_DE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Alright, gonna see how far I can make it through this.

One minute, longer than I thought.

What a terrible, terrible songwriter. You keep thinking there's nowhere to go but up, and he surprises us once again.

Barrett was probably just was playing random notes in the first place.

That's still pretty neat.

it's really not. been done a bazillion times.

it's really not. been done a bazillion times.

You're saying I don't think it's neat? Who the fuck are you?

90% of all the music you listen to has already "been done a bazillion times."

I don't know, it isn't good, but I think it is actually a big step up from both Spangled and WWMM.

I like abortion

I know a good joke....check your messages...:D

not pausing Saturdays = Youth for this. I officially don't care anymore

what a coincidence. I was just listening to M83 - Skin of the Night. I cant stop playing that track.

And he still likes it.

LMAO :rofl:

I know a good joke....check your messages...:D

what? :smoke:

What a terrible, terrible songwriter.

Well, that's a bit over the top.

what a coincidence. I was just listening to M83 - Skin of the Night. I cant stop playing that track.

song is weird.

i'm not too stoked about the jesus needs a hit song, but that version of blue skies bring tears RULES

Billy, you are one naive motherfucker if you thought it was bright to name a song "Jesus Needs a Hit" and believe that people will associate it with your preoccupation with popularity rather than an awkward Proposition 19/hippy battle cry.

Shit, that was classic Bill comedy gold.

awkward tuning/song intro
awkward Jesus reference
awkward internet reference
classic bill fuck up
awkward swear fest to distract from fuck up
awkward silence
finally song comes.....awkward boring song
the end

so true.

pretty meh.

which is a guarantee that he'll record it for the next EP.

after all, for this EP he was supposedly bringing out the "A" material.

not pausing Saturdays = Youth for this. I officially don't care anymore

except for like 2 songs that album is really bad. not as bad as jesus needs a hit though

"encore"

except for like 2 songs that album is really bad. not as bad as jesus needs a hit though

Is Skin of the Night one of the two songs that you like from it?

This sounded out of tune... emabarrasing.

emabarrasing.

!

hey M83 fans, what do you guys think of Dead Cities? I think it's my favorite M83 album

hey M83 fans, what do you guys think of Dead Cities? I think it's my favorite M83 album

By far my favorite. The first three tracks create a little electric orgy in my mind.

I like the Run into Flowers EP - great remixes.

nursery bones and catacombs
i wanna run into

what a coincidence. I was just listening to M83 - Skin of the Night. I cant stop playing that track.

I actually just discovered this band as a result of a post you made in the social network soundtrack thread, so this apparent coincidence is actually causal in nature


thanks for the recommendation

I need a fucking hit too after listening to that
