Surprised to see methuselah on that board. In an interview he said this about that song:

I would say of all the songs, the one that's always been very quizzical to me is a song called "Methuselah". There's a bootleg out there of it, but a really really rough copy of. And in fact at one point I even asked the fan to make me a copy because I thought that I had lost my original demo of it. I thought the tape was lost forever. So we have a fresh transfer of that song and a mix of it. And everyone who hears the song goes 'Wow, this is areally good song,' and I laugh and I say yeah, I never even played it for the band or Flood.

It was one of those things, I got up in the morning, and I cut the song, and I just wrote down… I think the song deals very directly with my relationship with my father, and I think I just avoided the topic altogether. So it's a song that probably should've been on Mellon Collie and Flood would've been all over it. And no one ever heard it, so it just sat there in the corner somewhere.

I'm not. As you might notice, all those songs in red all hail from Corgan's acoustic home demo tape.

What's with the whiteboard. What is this thread even about.

I'm out of the loop. Are we just looking at SP song titles written down?

smashingjj · 03-18-2018, 07:26 PM

disco king, you can do better than this

smashingjj · 03-18-2018, 07:27 PM

I feel like if I were your father, in this moment I'd say I'd be a bit disappointed

Disco King · 03-18-2018, 09:26 PM

But I don't get it. MCIS-era song names written down? Okay, cool, he puts his songs on whiteboards and posts the images. WHY?

cork_soaker · 03-18-2018, 10:15 PM

not sure if you're trolling, but i think it's cool because it's a "behind the scenes" glimpse into the making of an iconic album by one of my favorite bands. at the time this was written, the album had yet to cohere; it was still just a mess of songs up for consideration, likely in various stages of development. the band is in the studio or the rehearsal space, working it all out. same way it can be interesting to view/read/hear early drafts/sketches/notes of anything one might admire. it's neat to see how works of art evolve.

yeah, it's just song titles on a board, not audio demos. but it's still an artifact of a "legendary" thing.
