Default where do the Pumpkins stand in 2017?

this year has been rather quiet after all the events and announcments last year...

so what on earth is really going on or what will we see!?

there was that Pumpkins record being announced for the past 3 years. Still nothing.

there was a Billy record announced. Still nothing.

there was a reunion tour being announced. Still nothing.

I don't recall in years we were this much into the year with no news here or there...

This year -on D'arcy's birthday- Billy is greeting his dumbest fans through his teashop to get rid of his oldest, tiny and corny digital moistered CD's from ordinary classics. But from worldwide travels. Each for $4.







GeoF**kers could still grab some SP-stuff at this occasion...

Billy is really into setting some arbitrary rules to his ventures instead of going into a room with Jimmy or whomever and jamming out music.
30 days, 44 tracks, 11 hour synths, 1 track release at a time, one Ep release at a time etc.
Either he is on the autistic spectrum, is completely flailing to create PR moves in todays market or he seriously need crutches just to simply write music or approach anything creative.

So even for less than half of the original price no more than 250 people are interested in his ShitArtHa-project...

My brain is not working that well today, but either one of us really sucks at math, or reading, or both.

They sell half of the pressings (total of 500) as half-price-no-autograph sets - these 250 copies - you can still order 244 of those, therefor only 6 copies sold - so not even 10 people are interested in this, right, wrong?

I was talking that only 250 copies of the 500 got sold, though you can get the box now for less than the half price -unsigned.

ah okay. that the signed boxes are almost sold out for that price is actually mind blowing to me.

there are over 200 people out there who spent almost 400 bucks to get this on vinyl, with a wpc hat and a "stylophone synthesizer." that's a lot more than I would have expected. I'd like to see a living room with a signed boxset of this insignificant recording bullshit sitting around, I can't imagine it.

you can buy a ton of shit you don't want to bury in your basement for 400 bucks.


because I'm easily amused today, did anyone calculate what they charged for his signature this time around?

the entire thing is 375, that's LPS plus hat plus pocket synthesizer - plus signature.

oh wait this is easier than I thought, the not signed box has all this stuff, too, for 160. so they charged 200 bucks for his signature? this can't be right.

Someone has to help Billy Corgan's brain to develop new strategies to get rid of the still nearly 250 unsigned boxes:

He could now put out the hat to lower the price again. He already sold the hat separately.
http://www.madamezuzus.com/shop/wpc-...d-availability

I doubt that someone would buy the "synthesizer" separately. So this has to stay until the final end.

He could add an autographed postcard, but leave the record itself unsigned.
This could work great when selling them on the next tour. Doing it on the website would make too much people who bought the signed box feel pissed off...

This implies he's doing this for the money, but like the wrestling, he's doing this because he wants to. And this is far more in line with music, btw, than the TNT venture.

It's not like he's pulled a Jimmy Page and bought the mansion Aleister Crowley once lived. Billy's hanging with the likes that hung out with the Lilith Fair crowd. It's not much a deal one way or the other.
