BC: Thank you very much, thank you. ... Thank you very much, like to introduce the band to you. On the guitar, from Southern California, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. (Jeff plays a short solo) Where are you from, Mike? (Mike shrugs) Portlandia or wherever the hell...Hipsterland, Hipsterland USA, Mike Byrne. (Mike plays a short solo) From Ludlow, Mass, Nicole Fiorentino. (Nicole does a “swoosh” on the bass) [unintelligible 2-3 words].
Nicole: [unintelligible 2-3 words].
BC: I am every man, every person and everyone. I am me and I am you.
Nicole: Well, who are they?
BC: Heh heh heh heh, heh heh heh, well, we’re approaching the end of the concert. We’ve got drugs to do and uh....
Nicole: [unintelligible]
BC: We gotta go crash at Bob Ludwig’s house.
Nicole: I don’t know who Bob Ludwig is.
BC: He has a pizza. But before we go...now we’ve played it, uh--we had a newer song, meaning post-Oceania song. It was--that was called Black Sunshine and uh, Nicole said that she’s been getting many Facebook requests for this one.
Nicole: No, tweets.
BC: Tweets, you’re getting a lot of tweets.
Nicole: I am [unintelligible word] tweet...so [unintelligible few words].
BC: So of course we stopped playing it...because people wanted to hear it, that’s the way I do things. But now it’s back...
Nicole: With a new new name.
BC: ...with a new title, new name.
Nicole: A better one...which is what?
BC: Uh, Portlandia? Is this Hipsterville East? Now I see a lot of beanies out there.
Jeff: That’s because it’s actually, it’s really cool and not what you think it is.
BC: Oh okay.
Guy in crowd: Portland loves the Pumpkins!
Nicole: Oh my god.
BC: So, we’d like to debut our new version of this song for you tonight, which is why I’m cheating here with the lyrics, I just want you to--I wanna acknowledge my weakness right here. For those of you who like longer, jammier, darker Smashing Pumpkins songs, this is one of those. What do we call this now?
Jeff: Sex Machine.
BC: What’s it called?
Jeff: Sex Machine.
BC: Sex Machine? (laughing off mic)
Nicole: I’d like to second that new one.
BC: And it’s called The Dream Machine, The Dream Machine.
Nicole: Dream Machine.
BC: So we’d like to debut The Dream Machine for you tonight.
