I suppose all this is a necessary evil over time, nothing worthwhile in life seems to run smoothly forever.
I’ve always felt indifferent to what people say about Corgan and the band, or Corgan without them.
A lot of people are quite upset over the recent Interview, Fans have invested a lot of time, emotion and sometimes money into their following SP.
One of the reasons I’ve never really said much is; because I mostly agree in part with everybody!
As an actual band, they’re pretty much over and out now, too much has happened. Billy Corgan, indeed, will probably be an amazing talent until the day he drops. There’s the dud tracks – as with everybody – and also the greats, you can’t be all-out awesome 100% of the time.
Collector-wise I’ve been feeling that the whole process is a bit depressing: Fighting over a CD on eBay lost its appeal a long time ago for me. I’ll probably always dabble from time to time, who can resist that…
So much happened recently that I don’t really know what the future holds… After the American Gothic release I wasn’t following along too much and haven’t since, just the way I felt at the time.
I’m probably not as passionate about it all as I probably could be. Whereas I used to defend Mr Corgan against the jibes and all, now I just accept that people will think what they want.
The one thing I always notice, is how the complaints don’t stop people discussing Corgan and/or Co. In ‘normal’ life we’d say, \"Ah bleep that,\" to something that’s upsetting.
Somehow, no matter what, those bitten by the band seem to stay infected for a very long time.
To self-categorise myself, if I play an album to fall asleep to, it’s usually Gish and I don’t see it changing in future.
I just hope Billy continues to stay healthy and creative and wish everybody else the same.
To play with (stir up) people who go to the point of arrogance, I’ll often bring up James Iha; who I feel has maintained a sensible angle on the whole thing long-term.
As ever, I doubt anybody can top ‘the Siamese Dream days,’ however for all we know something amazing could be just around the corner.
I weep for the past that’s lost now, yet smile for the future still, it’ll always be a great ride while Corgan’s creating and releasing. IMHO.
OOOM EVERYTHING WILL FINALLY BE RELEASED ON MARCH 30TH!

I cancelled my pre-order this morning.
Once this thingamajig’s actually in stock, I’ll try again and hopefully grab one.
Arthur mentioned versions and such in another thread: I believe it’ll just be 10,000 US items and nothing more.
* Shrugs * Who knows though.
I’m hoping the Blobalisks piece together to form a Stargate, I’ll be booking a one-way trip.
Definitely be yourself, that way people can take you or leave you.
The ones who leave aren’t worthwhile, the stayers probably are.
looks like the q101 seller is back with another copy. no mention of a number this time.[/quote:3rs8edla]
They look real to me… Not that I’m interested though, at the moment.[/quote:3rs8edla]
Oh, I agree, they look real. I would be surprised if these were fake.But this is clearly the same seller, and all of a sudden, he’s selling unnumbered copies. This proves the theory that he somehow got his hands on a pile of unnumbered copies, and has been numbering plenty of them himself before, in order to get more money on eBay.
It seems like he got smarter now though: he waited a couple of years, then sold #1/1000 for $405, and is now no longer going to risk his neck by selling more low numbers (too suspicious), so he’s simply selling unnumbered copies.
I expect another low number (#4/1000?) in a couple of months.[/quote:3rs8edla]hey bram, i have another theory. maybe he just got his hands on like 20 copies or something, all numbered, but has figured out a way to remove the sharpie on the back without compromising the intergrity of the paper itself. i don’t know, just an alternate theory. otherwise, one of these unnumbered copies would seemingly be worth some money as well. but i think you can "make" these if you know how.[/quote:3rs8edla]
All you need is Cotton and Methylated Spirit (Denatured Alcohol), it easily removes any ‘permanent’ marker writing from a shiny surface – without visible damage… I often used it in Medical work for different reasons! The chance someone’s doctoring numbers can sadly be very high. I’ll guess my high-numbered one’s genuine, simply because it’s high and I trusted the European supplier.
Edit: Received one of these yesterday as a gift, just the sleeve and disc only: http://spfreaks.com/default.aspx?page=C … S&item=210
I like SFAS okay.
WWMM’s one of those I’ll probably never warm to.
ASIT has something to it also, so 1 & 3 so far for me.

I’ve had some small comms with Miss der Maur recently, she’s a sweet person and all.
I’m going to tell her about this, I believe she’ll be really pleased. -_-
people come
people go
it’s what I know
it’s what I have seen
lies, deceit
the scars left behind
coming back to haunt me
sadness turns to tears
pushed aside
to continue on
yet, forever attached
Will they leave?
How can I find my blue sky again?
Why did it have to leave me?
feeling done
no longer want to play the game
life..it is what it is
it’s the card I was dealtdarkness of the universe
inviting us in
lighting the path
with star shine
nothing to fear
fly or walk
destination where?
gaining speed
the chaos ends
beware
the doubt you create
understand it’s presence
black and white
yin and yang
night and day
balance begins
we choose
to feel
to see
to believe…
love
it’s thereReturning to what was
to subside to unhappiness
painstaking memories
what once was is no longer valid
brings darkness to light
and light to dark
switching on and off instantly
chaos filled with sadness and smirks
who has the upper hand on emotions?
depressing thoughts
who needs meds?
get in line
I’m torn
do I, don’t I
feel it or push it away?
temptation to not feel
ever present
I choose to feel
the sun will smile againI like the first video..the music is cool..the lyrics are so so, but I the actual video itself…I’m skipping white stripes for now
my friends new guy..well I guess he’s not so new now, but he’s in the army and has killed someone, I asked her if it effects him, but he has the mentality that it’s the duty/service he has to provide…but yet he’s religious…so I am guessing he’s not spiritual? Anyways he’s about to be shipped to Afghanistan for a year coming up here this Spring, hopefully he won’t have to kill anyone this time around…There’s just no way I could ever do that job. I’m so glad my son thought about it more so and decided against any military joining once he’s 18
it’s still early and I see vampire hell has continued to rule this thread
can’t imagine Johnny Depp being a vamp, but anything is possible and a much better choice than Brad Pitt playing one
where do we buy said vowels manilla?
and you’re right they’re someone elses opinions, you know what’s good for youTwo continue to play
games of the heart
back and forth
your words are tossed like playing catch
time in between phrases
a muse for both?
discouraging, yet encouraging
thoughtless thoughts
words are your power
knowing how to consume them
sucked into your black hole
of nothing more than
imaginary care and heartfelt
with no meaning behind them
no feeling
for they are…
just letters
conformed into
empty wordsI came in
not knowing why
just to know more
now, I feel I am in too deep
I never expected that
I was just being
secrets I do not know
still unaware
I’m in the dark
it all appears like a game
being played so well by the unknown to me
hidden behind this and that
I have nothing to hide from
I am only me
just sharing a few words
led to more things I can’t explain
nice gets you nowhere, but taken for granted, I see
so why do people want to take advantage of me? those were hilarious, If that’s what you deal with lol…that would drive me nuts after a while, but then it would be more like when’s the next one coming in and what goofy thing will they conjure up
good stuff blue
Hope she doesn’t decide to mysteriously ban the site for you…Gosh that would suck.I just froze my ass off talking to my neighbor, wasn’t expecting her to be outside when I went to say see ya later to the kidling…so now i get to freeze for a while.
And best Friday for me, I get to sleep in tomorrow, no school end of the quarter
I don’t have to wake up to the alarm clock until Monday..I’m so happy
