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

"Clones (We're All)" is a cover of the 1980 single by Alice Cooper, performed by The Smashing Pumpkins and released on the 1996 box set, The Aeroplane Flies High. The song was written by David Carron.

“

A fairly obscure Alice Cooper song from his early-eighties New Waver period. It was rehearsed and recorded in about an hour. I first heard this song when a Chicago band called Radio Fashion used to play it in the late eighties.

”

— Billy Corgan, Guitar World, January 1997

Did you know...

...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 "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" contains approximately 70 guitar tracks, while "To Forgive" consists of only one live guitar take?
...that Matt Sweeney's (of Zwan) former band Skunk helped inspire the composition that became "Frail and Bedazzled"?
...that "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" was one of 165 songs strongly recommended to be pulled from radio following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks?
...that the In Ashes animated series was named after Sumerian Records CEO, Ash Avildsen? The joke was that by signing with Sumerian Records, The Smashing Pumpkins and Sumerian are "going to go up in flames … and end up in ashes."
