I know, and there are still a few that I want. If I only had the money…
Good luck selling, and I hope you are doing fine anyway, in a way? Just send you an email too!
Thanks Thom.
The 1991/08/04 Max’s On Broadway gig is really worthwhile to spread, and Sven will work on that soon. We found a good recording of this gig, with the band rocking the place, which was probably filled with 20 people only. The set consisted of several classics of that era, including I Am My End, Tristessa and Siva. A surprise was the very loud and rocking version of Terrapin! James Iha was sometimes hardly noticable singing this song!
The other tape was too bad to be worthwhile spreading, unfortunately. I sounded like it was recorded from the toilet or a concrete hallway close to the arena, but still with the mike hidden under a pillow, or something… Really, you don’t want to listen to this, it’s crap.
But besides this, it was a GREAT gathering, boy oh boy! 5 guys @ Sven’s place, with enough cds, beer, vinyl, coffee, beer, coca cola, art & music books, and more beer, to fill a whole day until it was 03:00 in the night somewhere. Sven, you’ve been a great host!
One of the guys getting goose bumps all over when I played Soma from the Smashing Pumpkins 20th Anniversary Tour cd set on Sven’s stereo for the group was a remarkable moment…
And we did another very remarkable discovery. The Cherub Rock Townhouse Mark Goodier promo (pressed 1 month before the Siamese Dream album was released) was brought to the gathering, and it was played several times… Turned out it is a different, but way better mix then the album version! They should have brought out the whole album in this \"pump up the bass club mix\" version, because it is so much more straight-in-your-face music now… Sven will provide me later with the more tech details what is different exactly, as it is not just a decibel boost-up mix, is what I only know so far. But it sounds great, let me tell you! Pumping Cherub Rock in this version from your stereo is really not a punishment…
Edit: and if this wasn’t enough, I got a present too. A French plastic FNAC window promo ad thing for Machina. It’s absolutely stunning, and believe me, the pic below doesn’t do justice to the real thing….
Yeah, finally…
All hyped up and ready to go! Fetching Milan from The Hague (Holland Spoor Station) in 1 hour, then another 1 hour drive to you guys. Let’s party! I’m bringing some goodies!
Just bought tickets to Dana Fuchs, August 13th.

Support act to her gig is Bas Paardekooper (a local Dutch guitar god, doing Jimi Hendrix etc. things. Not bad, actually. Watch him cut all the strings of his guitar, except 1, and still keep on playing the solo!

exhausted by you
never telling who
you gave up on you
before you ever met meso lay back and stare at the clouds
put your sword back in its shroud
i hope i’m not saying this too loud
don’t wanna be too scaryyou did this before when you were here
and you’ll do it again
yes you’ll do it again
over and over
it’s never about you
always someone else’s faultsbrings forth the tears
years after years
what sound do you hear
when the door slams shut[/quote:2824n6s5]
This one’s very good.Every time I hear this song, it brings tears in my eyes.
Hallo Venray – Tuck, The Man
Tuck is a man
and he likes to be a man
and he knows he can love a woman that wayTuck wants to be an actor
he doesn’t mention it that much
he says it’s a dream but it doesn’t payTuck was good at school
that’s where he met his first girlfriend
and he’s still with her up to this dayTuck has a job
and he likes to work hard
and he knows he can pay the bills he has to payOne day I’m gonna be an actor
and sing a song to the girl I’m after
I’ve been waiting so long I want to have her
and my love is so strong
I’ll die if I won’ t have herAnd when I get to her lips
we’ll give a kiss
and fill the emptiness
we felt so long in our heartsshe’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun with the sun with the sun in her eyesTuck is a man
and he likes to be a man
and he knows he can love a woman that wayTuck is doing the best he can
and he says doing less
would be wrong the wrong thing to doOne day I’m gonna be an actor
and sing a song to the girl I’m after
I’ve been waiting so long I want to have her
and my love is so strong
I’ll die if I won’ t have herAnd when I get to her lips
we’ll give a kiss
and fill the emptiness
we felt so long in our heartsshe’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun with the sun with the sun in her eyesshe’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes
she’ll be the one with the sun in her eyes

You send me some fine treats, that’s for sure, Voidhanger. I just love the spooky ambient black metal sounds of Amaka Hahina! I see myself running in a medieval church, playing this very loud on a huge stereo, and get a good adrenaline kick of it.
I’ll try to listen to that other bands very soon. Thanks, man!Are you from France, Voidhanger? I thought you are from Canada…
And with all that metal stuffs on your list, how did you get into Smashing Pumpkins, and eventually here on a Smashing Pumpkins forum?
Bram, we don’t hear anything about your London (or English, at least, if I remember well) girlfriend anymore. What’s the news about her? If you want to share…
And what’s the love for dEUS?
The Nits – Sketches Of Spain
The streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain
The war is rolling over Spain
Men and women running with sticks of dynamite
Storming stone buildings in the middle of the nightIn the window near the last ‘o’ of the sign ‘Hotel Colon’
Machine guns sweep the square for fun
The rich draw the steel curtain
The poor just lock the door
They don’t want this war no moreIt never never never never never stops never stops
It never never never never never stops never stopsIn the hills round Zaragoza we’re waiting to attack
A knot of dirty men that shiver round their flag
The boredom and the lack of sleep
The tin cans in the mud
Red is the colour of our bloodWe never never never never never stop never stop
We never never never never never stop never stopI have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt
I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter
I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt
I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatterThe streets of Barcelona are filled with blood and rain
The war is rolling over Spain
Men and women running with sticks of dynamite
Storming stone buildings in the middle of the nightThey never never never never never stop never stop
They never never never never never stop never stopI have seen the trenches and the blankets on dirt
I have seen the tears upon a farewell letter
I have seen the faces that no bullet can hurt
I have seen the spirit that no bomb can shatterKnives can cut fist can beat
Same issue here. Not to brag about it, but I can easily triple that list of Derek, and end up forgetting the other half anyway…

Please tell me this is not only classy, but also good, and worthwhile a listen!
Abigail (Jpn)/Ironfirst (Sgp)/Deiphago (Phl) – Holocaustik Metal Sexxxekution Whoreslaughters
I remember a documentary on Dutch tv of a year ago, or a little more, and it was about young metal bands from places where one wouldn’t expect to find them. So they came from Russia, China, Japan, and some other country… Kosova I believe. The Chinese or Japanese (sorry, can’t remember) metal band was very good! So I’m curious to see what is metal today in Japan, Singapore and Philippines…
And since I’m very fond of French rock bands (Noir Desir, for example) I want to try Amaka Hahina (Fra) – Aheah Saergathan! also…
Thanks!
