[Raskolnikov]

Think the setlists for these shows will remain fixed the whole tour, like shiny again?

But keeping true to Corgan tradition, every album is it's own little unique island onto itself, heartfelt powerful somewhat feminine vocals that I can totally get into without feeling awkward, and yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit I do love a bit of melodic punk on a Tuesday night They even have a handful of new wave & electronic songs that are pretty solid.

Black Sails in the Sunset, The Art of Drowning, and Sing the Sorrow are all solid. All of the newer albums have a handful of good songs as well.

Yeah I agree, but I personally would extend my list to in-clude Decemberundergound & Crash Love. Their pre Black Sails work is good but kind of repetitive, it's like I'm listening to the same song 30 times, but Daveys voice + lyrics keep me interested enough to enjoy it.

And I hope including the All Hallows EP into both of our lists goes without saying.

Really enjoy their side electronic band as well, well the first album at least, haven't heard the others.

So I assume Kitty Kat and WOCOAN will be new additions to the set?

[Ramdust]

I'll be at Camden. Eh, it's not that bad of a venue, other than being near, you know, Camden.

I once bought a baggie of salt in Camden. Boy did that hurt my nose.

[Corgan's Bluff]

WTF is this, how did it happen?

Nice. I'd rather hear Jimmy's takes on some of those songs rather than the same old hits again.

that's what you get for dabbling in dirty drugs

[NovaFritz]

Looks like they are trying to re-enchant (and re-sell) the immense beauty that is Oceania

petition to rename Oceania as "TIBTIO" on this board

They deserve to be on a shirt too:

are you also responsible for that shirt?

[topleybird]

It's literally the only thing in the portfolio I show prospective clients

[FoolofaTook]

that shirt's got a wide-ass neckline. like some dude with a wide-ass neck wore it out, or something.

you know what im saying?

[FoolofaTook]

or maybe he had a big-ass head. that would also explain it.

[fuzzyroes]

Maybe George Costanza had it on

[Funbags]

Better than the album cover.

[Raskolnikov]

Think I said this elsewhere, but I would pay GOOD money for sales figures on that shirt. I mean, really - how many do we think they've sold? 200?

Wish there was a Zuzu's style hack a la Siddhartha...

This tour is so strange. I wouldn't think fans of these bands would intersect. You'd need to be somewhat of a new music listener to be into Noel's solo project.

I think they're banking on the 90's star-power to be a draw. The 90's are super hot right now. I saw the Pixies and Weezer at the big arena in town a week ago and the place was packed in like sardines. Top rafters were all completely full, even the very back. I initially assumed that they were crazy to play such a big venue but it was a massive draw.
