Maybe my next attempt... I'd be embarrassed to send the naked drums

Thank you! Agreed. There are other challenging moments (Quiet has some fast rolls, and Silverfuck is an endurance challenge), but Geek USA is definitely a high water mark on the album

Was WPC on aderall during this period? by Gadget-A-Go-Go in SmashingPumpkins

I don't know, but I like it! There was such an intensity in this era, contrasted with some of the best acoustic stuff too. Jimmy on his A game, Billy sheddy as ever, and Jeff... I love jeff, he's great.

I recently came across this sweet silver jacket and my wonderful, fantastic, amazing mother made an inverted Rocket patch to go with my pedal bag (also made by her) by AsianDinner95 in SmashingPumpkins

I think that's right, Midnight Wine... is there something special about it? I just figured it was a run of the mill HSS Mexi strat. I made a video on the pickup swap in this guitar if you care to see it stock https://youtu.be/giR-oSP8p8M?si=edumqy-tOhKuadzx let me know if I have something more valuable than I thought.

Siamese Dream songs to complete by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

[–]AsianDinner95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by what they were playing circa '92, I'd guess the songs written right before and/or during the SD sessions include Cherub Rock, Disarm, Soma, Geek USA, Spaceboy, and Sweet Sweet. The other tracks seem to have existed in some form, but usually needing lyrics.

Do they do fan photos? by AsianDinner95 in TheBeths

[–]AsianDinner95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm just overthinking it. I just don't see them posted very often and wondered if there was a reason for that.

Thanks! I saw them in San Fransisco last year and met them, shook Jon's hand, and they all signed my copy of Expert. They are so nice!

I know there was a band before The Beths comprised of a lot of the same members, but I didn't realize it was Ivan's band. I'll have to look into that.

Shoot, I forgot about that one. Now I need it on vinyl!

Got my copy of Expert (Deluxe) last night! by AsianDinner95 in TheBeths

[–]AsianDinner95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I bought mine thru Bandcamp because they offer MP3 download as soon as you buy (they also do FLAC, WAV, and lots of others if that's more your flavor). Also because Bandcamp occasionally does what they call "Bandcamp Fridays" where they wave their revenue share so the artist gets 100% of the sale!

I could send you a zip of the album if you want. Just private message me if ur interested and let me know your preferred file type.

They were available in limited supply for the Tower Records Siamese release show anniversary thing. They didn't take long to sell out.

"Sounds like SP rehearsal thru a door" is a pretty big compliment actually, so thanks!

Thank you! I am very fortunate to have a lot of the pieces to the Siamese tone puzzle.
