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 Mellon Collie sessions were The Smashing Pumpkins' first to use computer technology. Pro Tools was ran on a Macintosh 8100, which has less computing power than mobile phones have today.
- ...that Billy Corgan briefly worked with basketball superstar and rapper Shaquille O'Neal? Corgan began work on a track loosely inspired by Dr. Dre, but the collaboration fell through. The drumbeats that survived were used in "Eye", which appeared on the Lost Highway soundtrack.
- ...that the compact disc version of the Pisces Iscariot cover depicts a blurry Polaroid photo of Billy Corgan's ex-wife, Chris Fabian?
- ...that The Smashing Pumpkins contributed to a various artists compilation album that parodied the hideous 70's and 80's K-tel compilations? Each participating band was to cover an obscure 70s song. The Pumpkins went with "Jackie Blue" by Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
- ...that "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" contains approximately 70 guitar tracks, while "To Forgive" consists of only one live guitar take?
