Pumpkins Magazine Archive

[Zerospaced]

So I'm planning on getting rid of my boxes of music magazines with the Pumpkins that I've been moving around for 28 years. Before I do that I decided to re scan them all and share them for anyone interested. These are all the magazines I used for Infinite Pictures back in the day and the old scans are really bad and small compared to the new ones.

I'm putting them in PDF form and uploading them to my MediaFire. I'll add more as I complete them.

I was planning on throwing them all up on eBay when I was done.

thx!

Thanks. What was your process for scanning them?

I’ve got a bunch of Aussie magazines that have Pumpkins tidbits. Might scan them, then chuck them.

Am I the only one who thinks they made BC look like a 15 year old here? Or something. He looks weird af.

Nah, there were a few instances during the Adore era where he was skinny af

Um I scan them, then in photoshop I straighten and crop, then adjust the levels, colors tones etc. Then remove rips, scratches, blemishes, dust. Rebuild stuff if I have to.. which Aussie issues do you have? I'd be glad to take them off your hands and scan them if you're just going to toss them.

i'd love a full-size poster on my living room wall, personally

what're your thoughts on the classic "embryo shot" ?

[topleybird]

I think primarily I just admire the photographer for getting Billy to agree it was a good idea to get naked and pretend to be a fetus

It's a pretty good photo/concept, really, but mostly I just think "Man, what did they say to him"

[Joey Goldberg]

when you consider that "gorilla suit" story he told semi-recently, it really is quite a feat

Possible time travel aside, you just know the art director had fun pitting Big Willy against Fred there

Yeah. This photomakes me feel supremely uncomfortable

The article in that first Kerrang u posted there is awful. It seems intended to humanize the pumpkins or show how they are funny. But everything they say is not funny, it makes me hate them. Also, the author seems to think it’s so very wacky and crazy that they would dare to go to a gay bar. Or darcys “some lesbian” story

[NovaFritz]

Its in the Details folks

A lot of the interviews are pretty shitty. It seems that people did not know how to handle or interview Billy, or all they wanted was to ask questions that would get a soundbite remark out of him to sell magazines. The best ones so far IMO are the Guitar World ones where they talk about TAFH.

That has to be a misprint right? D'arcy was around at least until the end of April 1999 for the Arising shows.

OK yeah it's a misprint on the cover, if you look at the table of contents it says 2000.

Doubt he was actually naked but I'm with you still on this
