I really love SP and I no them very well.
Have U take a listen 2 "The Aeroplane Flies High" box set?
That's wonderful how many feelings a record can describe...

I'm so happy Corgan's doing something - can't wait to buy it. I also hope James Iha gives it another go and actually makes emotional music this time - I liked his songs on the pumpkins records.

Yes, I have. It's awesome. If you put all the songs on 2 discs you have another double album. And it's nearly as great as Mellon Collie. I love how prolific SP were and how consistently great their songs are. They could put out 10 outtakes/rarities collections and I'd still be lapping it up. I miss them.

I was lucky enough to make it to the final show at the Metro but was unable to get tickets. They were going for over $1000 and I only had like $600 with me. But it was so worth it to be with the other fans outside, hear the music over the loud speakers and see the band after the show. The best concert I never saw.
