@williampcorgan is finally throwing open his voluminous archives! We here at SP corp have been busy scanning and photographing thousands of items to share. This collection will cover everything from his earliest days as a musician in 1984 to the present day. Coming tomorrow to @smashingpumpkins and @wpccodex. All posts will be archived over at SmashingPumpkins.com.

And by Friday Corgan will have closed/abandoned it after reading a stray Facebook comment.

i fear you may be correct here.

that said, perhaps it would hearten us all to think back on those wise words from frank "rat bastard" quinto "if we all work together, it will be a great year"

:beatup:

Opening their archives... of photos and visual media.

Just what I want from a band with a vast and highly guarded audio archive.

its just pictures or sound ?

I was excited but then read that they're PHOTO ARCHIVES

PHOTO ARCHIVES

HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU COULDN'T WRITE A PARODY THIS GOOD.

FUCKING PHOTO ARCHIVES

FUCKING PHOTO ARCHIVES

AND OF COURSE THE SHITTY SCRIBBLE IN THE MAIN POST JUST SAYS ARCHIVES

FUCK YOU BILLY

FUCK YOU

I’ve only listened to a couple SP songs over the years. I’m only really interested in the photos and pictures. Most people are like, “hey Machina reissue! How many versions of BSBT are there?”. Me I’m like , “more pretty pictures of Billy please!”

Probably 85% of the fan base agrees I’m sure....



Fuck....

WAIT!! Don’t despair!!!

Billy may pair certain photos in the archive with scented candles we can buy!!!

People and their cars!
People and their cars!
People and their cars!
People and their cars!
People and their cars!
People and their cars!

I wonder if they are going to release that one picture from the archive , you know, the one where Billy’s taking a shit on his career?

Operative word is never before seen, not “heard”



Wtf

Wasn’t there like a limited edition inkjet printout of a rare picture from the pisces era that was tantalizingly teased for us at one point — was that part of ppl and their cars or what — memory fails at the moment

photos need to be double baked before scanning

I don't get it

is this music or just photos?

who gives a shit about photos

want to hear some treasure from the past

Absolutely groundbreaking

Music would be nice, but, new photos are still better than no photos right? If anything, the infinite pics guy probably has a boner.

sp was always more of a photo band

they SUCKED when it came to music

Wonder which turd is working on this for free

ok

twice-baked pictorials

Breaking news: after this thread the photo archive has been abandoned

lol

First photo has been released

wait, it’s not even music? hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

It is not clear ....billy look at neil young's archive. He knows how to do it

Stick your photos in your mouth

ininite pictures site ....

I don't mind seeing some old photos from the Gish or SD era, especially if they are in studio shots.

If there was like 20 run-throughs of Tristessa on the other hand, I'm not sure I'd really care at this point.
