I think Billy Corgan is the worlds best songwriter and no one else have written so many great melodies as him.

TFE was the greatest thing to come from Billy since Adore and this song would surely have made it onto both those albums. Once again great great song

Oh and by the way Mina Loy and TheCameraEye is the best thing Billy have written since Crestfallen and Behold! The Nightmare.

Be more open to different music all you haters!!

Examples of music I like

Pet Shop Boys
Justin Timberlake
Bruce Springsteen
Bob Dylan
The Beatles
The Beach Boys
..And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
Phil Collins
Bad Religion
Blink 182
New Order
And many many more

And yes I'm new here, I'm drunk and I'm from Sweden.

Yes my spelling sucks, so please don't complain about that.

/Melack lover not hater...

i like all of those except bob dylan and the beatles and bad religion and i think tfe sux.

This song = LOL and WTF. Weird. Not really my cup of tea, but I still could not help but be slightly amused.

How could I be upset about it, though? Billy is a self-confessed appreciator of that 80's electronic pop stuff and he's always experimented with those sounds and textures. (Even dating back as far as The Marked you've got half the songs being rock, while the other half is just really weird electronic goth pop experimentation.) It's not exactly the first time that he's released some weird ass "quirk factor" songs in his non-album output. Personally this one just reminds of a song created with a mash up of elements from the likes of Sinfony (especially the synth-guitar sound) and most especially Bugg Superstar (it sounds like it's using the exact same drum sequence!)

I think this song was a very deliberate and self-conscious statement, providing a kind of counterbalance of the musical style of Zeitgeist. The Zwan/TFE-ish, "cheerful" musical ambiance too, just seems very deliberately ironic in its juxtaposition to both the title and lyrics.

What is happening? I was laughing at this joke of a song yesterday, now its starting to grow on me???

I don't mind layered "death from aboves anymore"!

I think Billy has used the layering to hypnotise me.....

Jackbox · 07-01-2007, 06:04 AM

for shame billy corgan. for shame.

pepper666 · 07-01-2007, 08:42 AM

... i officialy love this song...

Thanks for the lossless RocketBabyDolls

__mercurial__ · 07-01-2007, 10:33 AM

dadadum.....dadadum.....dadadum.....

Hi-ho Tonto, away!

I think it's by far the worst song I've heard from Billy under the guise of SP, though not perhaps quite the worst of his entire output. Again, the loud layering destroys anything this song might have had, IMHO.

"what was I thinking" - indeed...

I can prove all of this too, if you'd care.

I make more money than you make every 5 years so bite off.

Best Buy sucks. Every time I've gone in there to shop this year, employees will basically interrogate me, asking me bullshit questions pertaining to my lifestyle to help drive the sale (I'm not stupid; I know what you dickheads are doing). Whatever pitch you are dumping on your sales people and forcing them to do is laughable at best. Get real.

I really didn't want to support Best Buy when buying Zeitgeist, and now, thanks to this crappy b-side, I won't have to.

Maybe if it was a dumb James song like "The Bells" or something, sure.

1. Starz

5. Death From Above
6. Bleeding the Orchid

top 3 are pumpkins. the bottom 3 remind me of zwan.

Does it really matter if it sounds like SP or Zwan? Who really gives a shit? Judge it by being good music or not. Billy has told us that their new music will go into a newer futuristic direction. With the being said, he will be making tons of songs going forward that dont sound like tradional SP songs, but that doesn't mean they are bad.

Mr. Mister · 07-01-2007, 01:26 PM

The beginning kinda sounds like the Bubble Bobble theme!

Great song I love it. Drumming is great throughout

devotchka · 07-02-2007, 08:45 AM

whoever, pages and ages ago, mentioned that it sounds a bit like the neverending story theme is exactly right. aside from being terrible, it also has glued the mental image of atreyu and artax galloping across one field or another in my head.

areyougaffney? · 07-02-2007, 05:11 PM

after listening to DFA above about 10 times now since I bought the cd today, I'm really impressed with it.
It reminds me somewhat of DIA, which is my fav of TFE and a really good song.

I'm suprised not many seem to like it. But that bodes well for me liking zeitgeist..i'm holding off until next Monday. If people say most (if not all) on zeitgeist is better than this...it'll be a treat. Can't wait

polyethylene · 07-02-2007, 05:28 PM

It pains me to say this but...

DFA > most of Zeitgeist

spidrr · 07-02-2007, 05:37 PM

DFA is great. One of my favorite Zeitgeist era tracks.

SaturnineMantra · 07-02-2007, 08:20 PM

it really, really pains me too...
but i must say i'm in the "DFA > most of zeitgeist" camp.

werideatdusk · 07-02-2007, 08:58 PM

it's nice, but I think I like "Signal to Noise" more in terms of "TFE" sounding Zeitgeist outtakes.

Vocals are too loud. Gotta admit it.
