    Good piece. Glad to see I am only the only midly obsessed Pumpkins fan. For other fans, I have linked my last Pumpkins related pieces. The first is a song by song piece on the amazing Siamese Dream, and other is a piece I did on getting to meet Billy and thank him personally for Saimese Dream.

    hmmm, i didn' know that the dude from Slint was in Zwan...i may have to pick it up.

    as far as the Pumpkins go, i always liked the layered guitar sound but could never get past Corgan's voice...which always sounded to me like he was in the middle of taking a dump.

    sorry.

    Thanks for the extensive story on this band. I missed most of the Pumpkins' radio era, but heard quite a bit on mix tapes sent by my brother.

    I Am One was a clear standout on one of these tapes.

    Thanks again for the history!

    I'm glad I am not the only one who loves the Smashing Pumpkins today I heard that they just got back together the other week I wonder how this CD will go and if there is any way they can live up to their prior success. Oh and another thing you never mentioned The Aeroplane Flies High!!! that is the only S.P. CD I lack. Thanks a lot for writing it down it has drawn my attention for at least 30 minutes reading and that my friend is hard to do...
