Welcome to SPCodex
Help us build the world's largest knowledge base for The Smashing Pumpkins and related acts!
We currently have 4,334 articles, detailing 1,323 songs across 150 albums and 85 studio sessions.
Album of the week
Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music is the sixth and final pre-breakup studio album by the The Smashing Pumpkins. Originally intended to be a double album including Machina I material, it is based on a loose concept telling the story of "a rock star gone mad". It was released for free on the internet on September 5, 2000 through Corgan's own label, Constantinople Records. Only 25 vinyl copies were made, a few of which were shipped to prominent fans with instructions to rip and redistribute it on the internet. AllMusic stated that "As a high-class artifact and a gift to a loyal fan base, Machina II is a winner," while the Michigan Daily called it "some of the best Pumpkins material to date."
Song of the day
"Siva" is the first single from The Smashing Pumpkins' debut album Gish, and was written by Billy Corgan. "Siva" was also the first music video filmed by the band. Corgan originally titled the song "Shiva", referring to the Tantric concepts of Shiva and Shakti as opposing masculine and feminine forces, ignorant of any further implications of the name. Upon realizing that the name was more readily connected with the Hindu god Shiva, he removed the letter "h" from the title to lessen this association. In January 2008, the song was made available as downloadable track for the video game Rock Band.
Did you know...
- ...that the original concept for the "Tonight, Tonight" video was for a Busby Berkeley theme, with "people diving into champagne glasses", but Red Hot Chili Peppers did a similar video for "Aeroplane", almost identical to what the band wanted to do?
- ...that briefly there was belief that one of the girls on the cover of Siamese Dream was actually former bassist Nicole Fiorentino? The actual girls were later found and reunited in 2018.
- ...that the compact disc version of the Pisces Iscariot cover depicts a blurry Polaroid photo of Billy Corgan's ex-wife, Chris Fabian?
- ...that Sharon Osbourne briefly managed The Smashing Pumpkins in late 1999?
- ...that "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" was one of 165 songs strongly recommended to be pulled from radio following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks?
