I've never really heard much mention of the pumpkins from sherri or the others. I did a quick search and found a super old interview from the MOSS eisley days that mentioned them...... PT: Which discs from the shared Dupree Family CD case get played most on the road? SD: Right now? All Radiohead discs, both Coldplay discs, Midlake, Kent, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Flaming Lips, Travis, Avril Lavigne (you think I'm joking)...over the summer, it was all the above plus Jimmy Eat World, Ben Folds, Smashing Pumpkins, Sunny Day Real Estate and many others. http://www.tollbooth.org/2003/features/mosseisley.html _________________ nothing takes away the past like the future. |

I think it would be kind of silly to consider it not possible for the Pumpkins to have some kind of influence on Eisley. They're not really far off from Sunny Day Real Estate genre-wise, and they have a wide range of styles from basically heavy metal to dreamy acoustic pop. I also like how Eisley have the ability to be influenced by bands (notably SDRE) without sounding like they ripped them off. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

ne'er 'eard of 'em. i remember liking every single song on Mellon Collie except that one screaming distorted one on disc 2. i wish he'd do a whole album like the last 3rd or 4th or so of Disc 2. almost Vaudevillian or whatnot. a whole different side that i don't think he showed before......or since? i never got around to getting that Aeroplane Flies High box. i remember seeing it at Circuit City back in the day. should have bought it. Firstly, the song is "Tales of a Scorched Earth" that you refer to...and I totally agree, it is the toughest listen on the entire album, but a completely necessary track. Also, I ended up obtaining the Aeroplane Flied High box set at Value Village for $50...it merely contains extended versions of all the singles from Mellon Collie along with a bunch of B-Sides from the 666 Sessions (which includes a plethora of Iha songs that rule!). Worth getting if you ever see it again. |

If you guys are lucky enough to find the Mashed Potatoes Box set prepare to have your socks blown off; it's jammed pack with bootlegs and whatnot. |

The Boy i know he put out some solo albums after the Pumpkins. did you like those? He put out a Zwan album, "Mary Star of the Sea"...which is essentially a super-poppy medium between Siamese Dream and a few of the gentler songs on Machina. Some very catchy tunes, but I could never really get into the album as much as the earlier Pumpkins works. However, later, Corgan put out his only solo album to date, "The Future Embrace", which most people didn't even give the time of day, due to their bitterness about the Pumpkins and the previous disappointment with Zwan...I, on the other hand, really loved the record. It is definitely not a Pumpkins album, but a lot of it reminds me a lot of Adore, mainly because all the songs have very similar arrangements, which are predominantly electronic. Lyrically, it is definitely a lot less personal than most Pumpkins albums. Instead, its very imagistic and abstract. From what I understand, all of the lyrics on the album were written through stream of consciousness. Like I said, don't give it a listen thinking that it is going to be anything like a Pumpkins album, but definitely give it a listen...you might really dig it! P.S. There was a really cool and artsy video called "The Future Embrace" that contains excerpts from the album mixed with an interview with Corgan that came out around the same time as the album. Worth checking out too. -Brent W |

I have his albums, but it's not something I can listen to all the time. I have to be in the mood for "James Iha". |

i was talking about Iha. according to the 'ever faithful' wiki it's possible there is a new Iha solo album on the horizon. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |
