Billy is planning to put out three to four archival releases a year
The Pumpkins were known for recording a lot of material. How much unheard music is in the vault?
Excuse my indulgence but when I look in the vault, it includes stuff that’s not Pumpkins-related, too. I’m trying to set up a schedule where by this year I’m releasing archival stuff every three to four months. I’m talking about an album’s worth every three to four months basically to infinity. I started heavily documenting what I was doing musically in ’94 and so there’s so much stuff there that could be released. And I think what’s cool is with streaming, you can put stuff out and people can participate in it without making a financial choice; it’s already included in the package they’re paying for. I think the vinyl market sets up versions for collectors but we’re back in a democracy where if people want to listen they shouldn’t have to feel they can’t. We want to reward people who want to listen to our music — my music — by giving them fresh stuff to digest and share. We don’t see any reason to sit on that stuff anymore. I really am not kidding. If I get what I want in terms of schedule, we should be able to put out three to four archival releases a year for the next 20 or 30 years, easy. And that’s not including what we’d produce from this point on. So basically to infinity. Whole interview https://torontosun.com/entertainment...mething-to-say |

thought this bit was interesting:
Is this the best incarnation of the Pumpkins we’re seeing live? I think musically right now, we’re very proficient. But I think it’s hard to dismiss what the band had in those other years because we could play a 45-minute improvisational song every night. There’s a lot of things that band could do that this band can’t. I think what this band represents well is every period of our music with great articulation and grace. We’re able to play everything from the smouldering ballads to the ferocious rockers. I think that’s pretty cool and I don’t think the old group could do that. |

The old group COULD do that, but it's sorta refreshing to hear him give props to the original magic of the band. But also, fuck him.

Corgan already seems to fail in releasing the Machina reissue at the twentieth anniversary.

Meanwhile, Sonic Youth share 11 concert recordings via Bandcamp (thanks for the link Tyler).

Key question: When will we get some music that doesn't suck balls?

Yeah, the last time Billy put out good stuff was 2000 IMO. But I'm going to give Zwan, SP2 and his solo stuff another chance at some point.

I haven't listened to them enough to pick tbqh. The only one I have in my iTunes library is Houidini, but I think I might have liked Ozma the best? I have seen them live too, it was a great show. Buzz came out in a robe with weird psychedelic eyes all over it. Do you like L7, Took?
