Ill have to look at that closer, but this, omg! It like makes total sense why this was sent to me today! *Tear (haha btw, another frequently listened to SP track of mine!  ) "The Age of Innocence is fundamentally a story which struggles to reconcile the old with the new" Ok, battery dying. Later folks! |

Lol I'd be specific if it were anything more unique than just the regular machina disc.

My Smashing Pumpkins story is fairly unremarkable. Back in the 90s, I mostly listened to They Might Be Giants, The Offspring, Queen, Greenday, Jethro Tull, and whatever was popular on the radio.
I was aware of Smashing Pumpkins, and I always liked their songs when I heard them on the radio. But I never bought an album like I did with the above-mentioned bands. My favorites back then were Tonight, Tonight; 1979; and Disarm. And that's what I knew the Pumpkins for. I was the same way with Nirvana. I liked their chart-toppers, but I never bothered to get an album.
In fact, the first time I actually listened to a Smashing Pumpkins album was in 1998 when my brother got Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness for his birthday. (And he received it, not because he was known to be a huge SP fan, but rather because he was born in 1979 and that song was on the album). I got to hear it maybe once before he left town for college.
I liked it a great deal, but I was busy with my own stuff (both working and going to school) and didn't really have the time to devote to expanding my music collection.
Fast forward to 2006. I saw Clerks 2 and 1979 was included in the movie as part of the soundtrack. I thought to myself, "I really like that song." But I knew the Smashing Pumpkins had broken up (having not heard about Billy's efforts to reform it), so I added the song to my 90s mix CD and that was that.
Then, around 2012, I was going through a real rough patch and found the song comforting and it ended up in my regular youtube playlist. But I still wasn't really "in" to the Pumpkins like I was "in" to, say, the Offspring.
Well, more life happened (life really whooshes by when you're grown up, doesn't it?) and now it's 2017. I finally said to myself, "you know, YouTube's this pretty amazing thing. 1979 is great and all, but lets hear some more Pumpkins."
So I went back to basics (for me) and put on the first album I'd heard--Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, now available on YouTube.
First I said wow. Then, I kicked myself for not having bought myself a copy twenty years ago. Since then, I've been consuming everything pumpkin related, but mostly combing through their impressive catalogue to see what else is there that I like. And I like a lot.
With Monuments to an Elegy, I'm really glad to see they're still putting out quality material almost 15 years out from the 90s.

Yep. Every studio album, that is... I don't think I've heard all of Teargarden yet.
And I'm disappointed I missed that project (Teargarden). On paper it seems like a really good idea to release individual songs as they're completed given the highly individualized and eclectic way people consume music in the YouTube/Streaming era.

It was an exciting time. Patience was definitely a lesson with the song releases.  |

I used to have a SP story once...
And I used to have some of their records twice...
God forgive, but I no longer do.

If Corgan will ever have the guts and overcome his ego I probably will -
He spit enough on people I admire and love
God forgive his troubled soul also <3
