What do you guys and gals think of Billy Corgan. Are there ANY Pumpkins fans on this board? I am interested to know as I think he is a brilliant song writer...

My guitarist is a huge Pumpkins fan. I think he sounds a lot better than Corgan though. Seth's voice doesn't make me want to break my five string over his head.

Yeah, I'm a pumpkins fan alright. I sacrifice goats to Billy every saturday. Seriously though, he's an excellent, excellent songwriter and even though his singing is a little bitone, it just makes the pumpkins more unique.

Just listen to Set The Ray To Jerry (The Aeroplane Flies High and Judas O.) and you'll see what I mean.

On a side note, if anyone can show me where I can buy The Aeroplane Flies Lower (also by the pumpkins, it's quite rare), please tell me. I've been looking for it for ages.

If you're talking about the boxed set, I just saw it today at Coconuts. It usually seems to be there too.

But find some freakin' Ani DiFranko though? Hell no. I had to go to Borders for that. Luckily they had a lot of Zappa stuff, so I did pretty well for myself.

Are you sure the box set was called The Aeroplane Flies Lower, not higher? The one I'm looking for is a German import and the only company that had it went out of business.

The Aeroplane Flies High (damn, these are confusing) I have already, it has a black spiral cover and a handle, the other one is just black with writing.

Yes, if we worship The Bald One.

At the moment I am obsessed with Slow Dawn and Whirl, I think they are both brilliant. How about you guys?

Hey, there is one on ebay right now for about $150 bucks. It's only got about ten hours to go though so you better hurry. I'd get it myself but I'm broke.
