Just an idea, here. What other artist/band or such do you collect besides the Pumpkins? Or are you looking for a special item of a kind? Pictures, etc etc?
C’mon and brag people, i know you want to!
On my behalf it’s gotta be
Therapy?, Jane’s Addiction, Dinosaur Jr, Hole, Foo Fighters (stuff only from their debut album!), Earth, Hellacopters mainly.

I’m collecting Sub Pop Promotion CDs and Photos/press Kits.
Here are some Pictures
with cds i own (‘X’) or i have information about (‘-‘), but there are a lot catalog-numbers (‘?’) where i need more information.I also try to complete the Sub Pop Singles-Club #1 / #2, but that are pricey issues.

Wow…Those are phantastic bands… I like them also a lot… Back in the mid 90s i was also collecting Hole & Foo Fighters, but i sold the promos & vinyl (
) a few years ago. -

Hehehe, cool topic! Seems like everybody collects not only Smashing Pumpkins lol! Same here, I collect funny antique artifacts (especially Asian!), Dutch clay pipes from the 1500 – 1800 era, Dutch unused stamps, and music wise: 16 Horsepower (US), Noir Desir (FR) and Reboelje (Frisian band).
When I was young I collected plastic Pink Panther figurines. Shannen and her brother even gave me 2 Pink Panther dolls a while back, 1 of them to stick to the car window. Pink Panther rulez! Somebody remembers the cartoon where Pink Panther buys an \"instant hole\" and it even got delivered in a box, and then he starts using it, by throwing it on the floor and then jumping in it to disappear? Fucking brilliant!
Also the movies with Peter Sellers are brilliant…
Inspector Clouseau enters a hotel lobby and spots a dog in the hallway. He asks the guy at the desk:
\"Doezz your dog bite?\"
\"No.\"Clouseau tries to cuddle the dog.
…Wraf! Wraf! Bite!…
\"Uhm, I thought your dog doezz not bite?\"
\"That is not my dog.\"

I try to pick up pretty much anything David Bowie/The Cure related whenever I find something.
I think I might even have *gasp* more Bowie stuff than SP!!
To be fair though….he has been around slightly longer than Billy & co.
I used to collect Nightmare before christmas stuff too, but I ran out of space to put the stuff so I gave that up

we’ll forgive you
and i like Nightmare Before Christmas too. i love the imagery and art of it. i don’t have any stuff beyond my dvd though. i think that’s mainly because all of these dumb pre-teen/ teen wannabe goth emos kind of ruined that particular merch for me.
it seems every time i see it i always think oh, neat. then afterward i get a picture of your typical hot topic idiot with there pumpkin jack hoodie, dyed hair, too small pants, fake badges and and pins, and i want to look all emotional and individual by dressing up like the rest of the idiots at school and following the latest emo fad attitude. those bastards kind of ruin good stuff. it almost seems to cheapen it for me even though it probably shouldn’t. -

I am seriously considering becoming a Mew collector. They are such a great band, not so old as to be overwhelming, with a really weird but wonderful sense of aesthetics meaning their releases always look really good. Also, they rival the mighty SP in terms of b-sides, in both quality and relative quantity!

Superlord, yeah, the danish Mew definately has their moments. I like the Frengers album but also that track "Why Are You Looking So Grave?" featuring my great god of all times: J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr – the best band ever) from their 2005 release "…..And The Glass Handed Kites". Other than that I haven’t listened too much to Mew.

You should definitely check out the rest of ATGHK – it’s really good. Also check out their debut, A Triumph For Man. Their second album, Half The World Is Watching Me isn’t really essential – it’s good, but all but one of the songs on it have been re-recorded, and all of the newer versions are equal to or better than the originals. 5 our of 7 of the new ones are on Frengers, and the last 2 aren’t hard to find mp3s for.
But yeah, I <3 Mew, can’t wait for the new album
