123 - The Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream

We recorded this episode exactly two months ago on July 1, 2023.
I still have seven more episodes to edit until I'm all caught up,
and I'm afraid it'll still take a while. But I'm still just gonna
take it easy, for if I work too hard then I'll just burn myself
out.





In 1993, a Chicago alt band was on such a verge of breaking up
that the lead singer Billy Corgan pulled a McCartney and
performed almost all instruments himself. What resulted is an
album so successful that it kept the band together, and with a
sound so big it influenced all the shoegaze, grunge, and
post-grunge acts to come after. The theater kids check out
