The best Pumpkins rarities in 5 years (make that 10!)

[amnesia]

Really. This has NEVER been out there before, as far as I know. And this is just too good to be missed.

1. Perfect (Oakenfold Electro Breakbeat Dub) (available on promo vinyl only, and on an extremely rare promo cd)
2. Interview Billy Corgan + Today (live) @ Kiss Halloween concert 1998.

Especially this last one is a MUST HAVE, listen to a version of Today that you have NEVER heard before. Fuckin’ awesome!

I was at that show and I have waited so long for any decent recording to surface. Very nice mini interview (oral sex? oh Bolly…) and Today is pretty good. When the band took the stage dressed as the Beatles… priceless…

[amnesia]

Lets check it out, thanks Arthur.

Here’s the only (audience) recording I know of that whole show. Enjoy!

http://www.sendspace.com/file/3jcfj7

01. Money (That’s What I Want) [Strong]
02. Zero
03. Ava Adore
04. Eye
05. Tear
06. Today
07. Bullet with Butterfly Wings
08. Thru the Eyes of Ruby
09. Cash Car Star
10. X.Y.U.

By the way, Money & X.Y.U. are available in soundboard quality also, from the "Friends And Enemies Of Modern Music (60m cassette)"* So here you go, both the FLAC (lossless) version and the MP3 version of those 2 songs (I just LOVE the way how the Smashing Pumpkins did X.Y.U.! ):

*Info copied from my text files:

"From a 60m cassette given by Billy Corgan to an online fan in April 2000, with instructions to "circulate these". The compilation was originally to be a 90m tape, but it got screwed up, so he dug up the Gravity demos instead, and made this 60m tape the next day. Two tracks were cut, on the end of each side… "Well, tough shit."

note: not to be confused with the band’s final self-released album, Machina II/the Friends & Enemies of Modern Music."

i can’t download it. since yesterday, i’ve been getting this message over and over again:

Sorry, the free service is at full capacity.

Please try later or upgrade to sendspace Max™ to enable guaranteed slots and instant, fast downloads.[/quote:vi5sbf13]

any chance someone could upload this to http://www.mediafire.com? unlike sendspace, they don’t try to sell accounts to their users by refusing service.
thank you very much.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

never mind. i finally managed to download it. and for those who also have problems with sendspace, here’s the mediafire link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4zdkninmnmi

Arthur, any chance you have that entire Perfect promo in wav or flac?

[Arthur]

Sorry, forgot to tell you, I will arrange that within a few days. I knew you would be asking for it someday…

[Cool As Ice Cream]

Thx.

This is just the live version of Today. I cut the interview, did some EQ’g and faded it out at the end before the DJ chimes back in. I did for a personal compilation and thought I’d share.

[blueczarina]

that’s nice of you thanks
