[paranoid]

This forum was losing its shit cause BC announced his intentions to renew and revive SP via that full page ad.

Also, TFE was released.

Kind of strange to think how long SP 2.0 has been around. Comparing 2007-present to 1993-2000 and the output during that amount of time.

bill didn't fail. it was his shitty fans that let him down

That is such a billy thing to say

[MyOneAndOnly]

One cool evening, I run into someone I see regularly out and about…we get to talking, and one thing leads to another, and she invites me back to her apartment…she makes me some soup, and after I am fed full, pulls me into her bed…the lights are turned off, and we start kissing…each time I try to touch her ‘down there’, she moves away from me and tenses up…this goes on for about 10 minutes until I finally ask if there is a problem…she says “there is something I have to tell you”, and proceeds to tell me that she is a he…I jump up and flip on the light…she/he says “look, it’s not a big deal, I won’t tell anyone, please stay, I’ll do anything you want me to do”…I beg off politely, saying it’s not really my trip, and I’m *boom* out the door, on the street laughing to myself (how could I not know! Oops…) it occurs to me that I always thought she was a kind of weird looking girl anyway…I walked the 20 minutes home in the middle of the night, and was relieved to get back safe…I go inside, walk to the bathroom and throw on the light, and gasp when I see the massive hickie on my neck…of course, the next day the band is rehearsing, and when they see the mark, ask who I had ended up with…I lie and say it was a tourist type girl who had already left town…after a few weeks, friends start coming up and asking me if I had slept with the he/she…I feign ignorance at the whole matter, but I start to get angry because I felt I had been duped innocently, acted honorably, and now some sort of revenge was being played out…after a couple more weeks of this, I finally pulled “her” aside and said not so politely that if he didn’t stop telling people what had happened, that I would break both his arms and his legs…and that was the end of that…

Man, TFE sure sucks, huh

[teh b0lly!!1]

haha what a great thread

supreme business model material

[Slurpee]

Old threads make me miss all the great assholes that used to be here. Now it's just lame douchewads.

Punk rock mindset

It's a little sad that post-reunion Pumpkins will soon have been around for the same length as the original band's duration, but will still be thought of as a pale attempt of a past-his-prime musician recruiting a rotating door of randoms to reignite an old brand, when it is thought of at all.

Seriously, I've been thinking of post-reunion Pumpkins as a recent reformation that's just finding its groove for the past decade.

10 years, wow, FML

I liked the album because it had a distinct feel and resonance and seemed like a great starting point for Billy's post SP career. Then he shit on his own album when he announced an SP 'reunion' the day of his solo release. bizarre.


anyway, TFE and Adore don't sound out of place at all today, while even the great SP stuff of the 90's sounds dated to me at times now.
