i've been listening to this album, and it's overflowing bsides companion
called "the airoplane flies high" for over a month now and i can't think
of any reason why i thought i'd outgrown it from the time in 1995 when i
first bought it. these songs are as good today as they were back then, in
fact, some of them have aged so well i like them more now than i did back
in 1995/6.

anybody else have especially fond memories of this album and the time it
was first released?

my absolute favorit tracks from it are:

Tonight,Tonight, Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Fuck You (Ode to No One),
Love, Where Boys Fear to Tread, Thirty-Three, In the Arms of Sleep, 1979,
X.Y.U., We Only Come Out at Night, Beautiful, Lily (My One and Only) and the
beautiful By Starlight.

that's half the album, but that's how good this album is. everything is good
and more than half of it is absolutely perfect. more than anything they did
before or after this album, i love the smashing pumpkins right here.

as amazing as the albumtracks already are, "the airoplane flies high"
contains even more good stuff. 28 bsides.

TWENTY-EIGHT B-SIDES FOR 1 ALBUM


among them the 23 minute "pastichio medley" which is just a stich up
of song ideas, mainly riffs and short solo's from what i think are a
whole bunch of unreleased tunes.

the pastichio medley also contains one of my favorit smashing pumpkins
moments of all time from 0:36-0:52. just what in the holy hell is that?
it sounds like something recorded in outerspace, lol. hardrock with an
intergalactic twist.

anywho, the box contains many many many gems and some of the ones i've
enjoyed over and over since 1995, even at the time i didn't even listen
to the album anymore, are:

Destination Unknown, Ugly, God, Mouths of Babes, Pennies, Rotten Apples,
Jupiter's Lament, Medallia of the Grey Skies, Transformer and Dreaming.

it took me forever until i found out it's D'Arcy singing on Dreaming

Tonight, Tonight



Bullet with Butterfly Wings



Zero

1979



Thirty-Three

Yes. Love it. And Aeroplane. At the time it was my favorite of theirs, and I've since gone back to preferring Siamese Dream a wee bit, just cuz it's so tight and so ferocious. This was their artistic peak though.

Putting on "Bodies" right now.

a double album, five video's, five singles, twenty eight bsides.

even prince would call that fucking productive

this makes me miss those days when an album would be an event and
a single would be more than a pixel on the itunes website. when a
part of a project was it's visual artwork still.

i was never quite sure what to think of their artwork or visuals
but i can definately relate to the sadness in all their stuff.
not a depressed sadness but a nostalgic sadness like looking at
old pictures of your parents and you when you were a child. no
other band managed to capture that feeling so well for me.

i totally know what you're saying Isty (may i call you that? lol). i rediscovered this a few months ago and was like.."what? why did i think this was tired?"

such a great record!

yes it was but indeed, Siamese Dream is so tight! there's nothing on
there that doesn't belong on it.

listening to "mayonaise" and then "space boy" coming right after that.

so much beauty

sassybritches said:

that's what i said to myself too. i basically always kept listening to the
thirty-three single and it's bsides but put the album way out of sight.

i'm kind of glad i did though because i'm enjoying this soo much right now.
perhaps a little too much, lol.

someone combined one of my fav movies with one of my fav songs



the song is 3 minutes too long tho. toward the end it just gets
too insane for me but the first 4 minutes are flawless.


disclaimer: yes, i like keanu's acting in this movie. forgive me

I haven't listened to it front to back in a while, but every now and then the songs come up on shuffle on my zune and I always get taken back by how great they all are. It is a great album for sure.
