Jeez! But In Utero 180 gram vinyl has been out a while now… I never really liked Nevermind. Think it’s a bit too polished and clean, although the material kicks ass. Also I prefer the early Sub Pop version of In Bloom with Chad Channing. Incesticide, Bleach and In Utero (with the typical Steve Albini-sound) kicks is for sure
I have some plans on buying the original In Utero clear vinyl at some point.
I’m with you Arthur! You don’t think Jimmy got upset about Billy’s partying with that porno star in Vegas has something to do with it?
So, how long do you think it will take until we get some decent information on the departure. Any guesses? Monday or earlier?
yeah, i like JCC!
i’m not sure what Billy’s plans are though or what will become of all of this.
[/quote:wyhw70ym]Yeah, the JCC is way too underrated
I really don’t know what Billy has in mind other than he is constantly making things hard on himself.
One day all the things he says makes perfect sense. The next day it don’t. It’s just impossible…
I just can’t see how he can’t drop the SP trademark (perhaps it’s worth to many $1000000?) and just settle for a new one. Zwan were awesome in every aspect. In the long-torm this will severely damage the trademark as it already has. This is a very sad \"ending\" to it all… You just have to let good things rest and not dig up the rotten corpses… I think Jimmy is going to do a kickass project now that he is finally \"free\", as he did with his solo work!
………… How this guy always manages to shoot himself in the feet, and continue doing that forever amazes me…. This is how I feel.
I so much regret still to this day that I missed Jane’s Addiction in Stockholm when they playe Oct. 3rd 2003.
Yeah, definately Reggae. Couldn’t agree less! I would love for them to releasing very limited 7-inches. In my fantasy…

.I always loved the way Pearl Jam release an xmas 7” every year for fanclub members. It’s only,like $25 and you get 2 magazines and a record every year.Always previously unreleased music and exclusive stories/interviews and stuff.Why not do something like this,but more often,say,a new record every 3 months on pre-order.
Just a thought.[/quote:2jbsvfua]
Yeah, I think so too! I’ve had thoughts joining PJ’s the Ten Club as I’m a big fan of theirs as well.
But let’s get serious, I don’t think SP would be doing that?^^i first heard this version when my acoustic melon songs boot came in the mail. and fell in love

That’s quite cool, Mayo!
On that cd there is a Disarm/Soothe sticker?
So i was zapping when i find out that VH1 is passing pumpkins top10 videos with a message in the corner "Happy birthday!"
I’m happy to see all these videos on tv again
Oh… Honestly from Zwan right now, at number 4 ! wow
[/quote:1tzmk08w]Oh yeah, William is like a 42 (?) year old man now huh?
I know Jimmy is even older as he is born -64.They are starting to get old, man!
But of course; they still rock like hell.here it is:
Hello SP World!!
Welcome to the first edition of the Archives Newsletter! I’m planning on writing a blog and newsletter once a week. The first thing that I want to talk to you about is my job and what we’re doing. As a fan of the band for many years, I have always hoped the band would release old shows and demos. There are a lot of misconceptions out there that it would be so easy for the band to release (insert title here) show or demo. Now being on the other side, I can see that it is a lot more difficult to do that. There is a large process that we have to go through in order to get a recording ready to release. Looking through the archive, there is an overwhelming number of live and studio recordings. The first thing we have to do find something that is worthy of release. Since Billy has been focused on new things, work with the archive has been slow. This is where I come in. My job is to work in the archive and work on finding the best items to release. There is a lot to choose from. Some of the items being discussed are the 12/2/00 Metro show and the unfinished Adore Documentary. Aside from those two things, there is a mountain of great stuff. In the coming weeks, I’m going to be giving updates on the treasures I find.
The next subject that I want to talk about is the process on how to deliver this stuff to you. I want to expand on Billy’s idea of a subscription service that I mentioned in the blog. Going through and finding material that is suitable for release is a very in-depth process. The idea of a subscription service is where you can sign up for a yearly subscription, and in return you will receive a guaranteed number of tracks and releases. These releases will be from all eras of the band. Some items may not be up to the quality of a professional release, and may be rawer sounding. This could mean a track of the band rehearsing that might not sound good enough for the general population, but Billy might say that it would be good for the subscription service. We would put it up because that is the only version of that song. This is for the type of fan that is interested in getting unreleased live and studio tracks. This is the Holy Grail. One example is that you’ll pay $300 for the subscription, and we’ll give you 200 releases. For those of you who don’t want to sign up for a subscription, we’ll still sell some material to you, but the subscription members will get it first. If you don’t want to purchase anything, we are also looking at distributing some material for free. Basically, if you want to get everything, you want to take a look at the subscription service.
The reason why we’re talking about a subscription model is that if the band just releases individual shows for sale, we wouldn’t have a budget to work with to make it a long-term project. The subscription service would automatically give us a budget to prepare and distribute material to you. If you have any ideas or comments about the subscription service, please let me know. My e-mail is frank@smashingpumpkins.com. If you’re on the message board, please voice your opinion on the SP Archive Project Forum in the Live Recordings/Collecting/Trading forum.

[/quote:1i00p3n2]so $300 huh
hmmm, yeah *cough* SP fans aren’t millionaires. [/quote:1i00p3n2]Right
I thought this as well. Its been ages since i heard the Zwan cd, so i heard it today and i forgot all about how Ride a black Swan kicked ass.I think thats the best song on Mary Star for sure.[/quote:2j1ky72v]
Yeah! Chamberlin’s playing on the ride in the refrain is the whole records crescendo for sure!
