parts of Oceania are basically SD2. An SP5 SD2 would just be a bunch of Cherub Rock soundalikes, with some chugging thrown in

Question

Isn't the format of the podcast supposed to be, essentially, "play a new song, talk with a guest, play a classic song and talk about it"? Is he even doing that last part any more? I don't think I've seen anyone post some interesting new fact we learned about an old song — there's just zip in terms of cool stories, on any of them?

You're living in the past. Why don't you pay him a million dollars? He may then record a podcast in the style of the old podcasts.

Few years ago I asked Billy if there would ever been another Siamese Dream box with more stuff and he gave some super snarky reply about it. Well, maybe don't give us such a hodge podge collection of outtakes then my dude? It'll be interesting to see if there will be another 30th box released. Doubt it though.

i know ive made this complaint a lot, but i really wish billy would let stuff breathe. that breakdown chorus would have been pretty cool to just hear the noodling guitars riffing on top of each other instead of him saying alone alone alone alone alone lone lone alone alone lone lone alone s;dkghs;lhkd;ljkf;lj;lsdjgf

Do you think there's more unreleased, cohesive material from that era?

it feels futile to even try to analyze the songs musically at all. in the hands of 2023 corgan nothing will truly be good or moving or....pleasant again

The great rallying cries in SP songs:

1991: "I am one as you are three"

1993: "Today is the greatest day I've ever known"

1995: "The world is a vampire, sent to drain"

1998: "It's you that I adore. You will always be my whore"

2000: "You know I'm not dead!"

2007: "Revolution...revolution...revolution blues"

2010: (to the opening chords of "Widow Wake My Mind"): "Oh....oh...oh"

2012: "I will be Special K"

2014: "My love is strange"

2018: "She stabs the empty clock"

2020: "Swooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon"

2023: Alone, alone, lone, lone, lone

To be fair, I admit the Shiny and CYR lyrics work in context...but still

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six-four Impala

I think he can still sing in a way that would sound fine if he wanted to. That recent live version of Muzzle illustrates that. And there are certain parts song ATUM where he doesn't sound bad. It's more that the way he chooses to sing now often has some weird affectation and bad production. His voice should never be front and center and pushed up in a mix. It should be set back in the mix a bit. I don't know why he's always been obsessed with dry vocals, but the guy really could use some reverb/echo for some depth. It would just make things sound richer.

Uh have you met Netphoria? The whole point of the forum is knowing better than WPC. Has he sold millions of records from 2007-present? Maybe a couple hundred thousand of Zeitgeist but that’s about it. You don’t need to do the thing to have an opinion on the thing either.

No one believes he made a three star record, no one. We believe he made a 2 star record.

Springtimes probably ticked that box in his mind.

I couldn't even tell you what song "Swoooooooooon" is from.

Wouldn't it be "tangents vex the whorl" or Sah-main Sah-main
