The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music is a Smashing Pumpkins non-commercial compilation album derived from a 60-minute cassette that Billy Corgan gave to a fan in April 2000, five months prior to the band's official release with the same subtitle, Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music. The fan was instructed by Billy to circulate the album, although it did not have any labeling. The tile for the compilation was based on a conversation they had.

The cassette did not include a track listing, leading confusion as to the title of the final track. The title for "Cinder Open" was not revealed until its official release on the 2012 deluxe reissue of Pisces Iscariot.
