A possible Christmas album?
https://www.spin.com/2018/11/smashin...qzE6915t088pKE
Look, I am a bit of a Billy apologist. I'll give anything he does a go. I really like Shiny. I quite like Monuments. I listen to Oceania quite a lot. I also LOVE Christmas music. Like, I could write you an essay on it. I reviewed all of the Christmas albums out last year for the Observer Christmas Eve issue and it was one of the most fun times I've ever had writing an article. But this is the worst idea I have ever heard. No-one actually likes Christmastime. No-one. It's a syrupy, horrible vomit of a song that seems to miss all the joy, fun or melancholy desperation that marks the best Christmas songs. This is an indefensible war crime of an idea. |

I want them to cover All I Want for Christmas is You, just to see Billy doing the diva hand and so much vibrato Christina Aguilera would be jealous.

Definitely needs to happen. Would certainly be better than Shiny.

It's funny you mention that no one likes Christmastime.
Literally every Christmas season, I hear that played in the mall or some public place atleast once. Sometimes up to 5 times or more. I once heard it at Walmart and Macy's on the same day. Other than maybe 1979, it has more public recognition that any other Pumpkins song. |

One thing you can say, his voice on Christmastime is great. I'd listen to him sing that 1000 times more with that voice than anything in his recent style.

Damn it, my words have had the opposite effect I intended
It's a bad song, people, it's bad and not good Also you just know Billy's gonna go overboard giving lil Jupe an explosively large Christmas every year Kid's gonna get one of those child-size motorized Jeeps that go 5 mph that only the rich kids in your neighborhood had, goddamn |

I think I've only listened to Christmastime once. I just don't think Billy's voice and style is suited to Christmas music.

Released to SPRC 23rd December 2011. Quote:
“As a thank you for supporting the Smashing Pumpkins Record Club (SPRC) this year, Billy went digging in the vaults and found this beautiful holiday song called “Have Faithe, Be Merrie.” We hope you enjoy it! |
