There is some background here from Barry Waterman: http://www.lightintodark.com/history.htm
he says
‘As the records themselves were not ready (what a surprise…), I instead gave out the now semi famous cassette sampler tapes with one song from each of the six bands on the record. ‘Sounds like the tape was given out at the party just before the show, so the invitation would have been sent out earlier.
Cool to have that invitation with it. So SP played that Light Into Dark release show on Billy’s birthday
hmmm papier mache? Or real?
that is awesome! – I like the idea of a currency away from the centralised banks. I know some places have ‘time-banking’ where you donate your time, eg. babysitting/lawn mowing/hair cutting services, and get a credit to use for someone else to do your lawn/hair or babysit for you. And other places have alternative currency used within a community.
Now the important question: when can you buy SP vinyl using Bitcoin?
‘it was a magical time’
this is why a lot of people (SP fans and other 90s alternative music fans) hold onto that time – those bands were ‘breaking out’ and being promoted by the big labels. This doesn’t happen anymore
Apparently some of the white vinyl pressings of the new Crosses album has brown or grey smudges on it (those darn pressing plate changes!) I was able to explain to some fans who were perplexed about their vinyl colour as to why they were that way.
After I had explained…I don’t think it changed anyone’s ‘dilemma’ of the poo-like marks on their nice white vinyl….
my EU one was right way up.
I had put the insert inside the box to keep it from getting lost or ripped, but it is slightly too big to fit inside the box without creasing, so I cut it to size.
I think it might be picking up searches for SP, or that we are using other SP sites….hmmm gotta like that tracking…
so what exactly are you saying about income tax? i’m getting mixed messages here.[/quote:erhithtw]
I actually think it’s worse now, more poverty, more wars, and more inequality – thanks income tax!
Not all humans, I wouldn’t blame people like the Dalai Lama, and those working to help others. Snowden and Manning too!
I blame corporations, they run the world, but it’s very difficult for most of us to avoid supporting them – for example if you have a car, it’s impossible!
I was reading today about income tax not existing before 1913 – gotta wonder how we (or the govt) survived before then….hmmm
True! Very awesome – although I wasn’t that excited as he already said he was working on ‘a pair of albums’ back in September….now he needs to give us some snippets of these songs

Page won’t open? Probably because I don’t have a Facebook account… What is it?[/quote:1cpcgtmc]A cartoon of 2 people in a museum – the paintings are just QR codes and they are holding their ipads up to see the actual paintings on their ipad screens. hehe – that would save museums a lot of transporting art around!
the corporations corrupt minds you mean?

I think it’s all about controlling the market for certain products (big brands) and profits.
More reason to support local products and services!
Just from a look at MCIS era cassettes in the SPfreaks collection:
1979 – UK, US, NZ
Tonight, Tonight – UK, US, Australia, NZ
33 – US, NZ (but UK only had a promo?)
BWBW – UK, US, Australia (there must have been a NZ release too – the song was very big here)
Zero – US onlySiamese Dream:
Today – UK, NZ, Australia ….wait, no US cassette?
Disarm – UK onlyThere could be some gaps to fill in with these cassette releases – or not
Oh Cool as Ice Cream, there’s a NZ release of the 33 cassette – so you better check yours!
I think the point is that they are items that are hard to find ONLINE and in 2nd hand music stores etc…rather than in our collections. Duh.
hey look everyone what i found in my collection the other day i was just going through it and i found this a sealed pisces iscariot vinyl numbered seven out of two thousand yes the one with the bonus seven inch these are hard to find even if you’re in belgium like me also it is number seven and it comes with a seven inch and one day i had seven biscuits so i was like this can’t be a coincidence it’s a sign! i did very well to find this[/quote:1i60ubc0]
is the Pisces Iscariot vinyl on the site?
everyone who has any Today cassettes should check them perhaps?
They are difficult to find even in NZ, I remember a friend had the Siamese Dream cassette in 1993 but has since thrown it away or lost it – which is what most people have likely done with these other cassettes too -so the very few ones that are left are difficult to find
you mean this?
Billy Corgan @Billy Jan 30
Excited to announce I’ll be playing a special show at @ZuZusTeahouse ‘s on 2/28 (A music only performance, i.e. no singing) Details soon…[/quote:fuqbtdq6]
Yikes, there are some youtube vids of these virtual concerts showing the crowd going crazy- they use a ‘vocaloid’ for the singers vocals. My ears can’t take it

well, not exactly the govt, see here for an explanation: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s0csb3
still not good – but like the post says – accountability (and transparency) would help a lot
