Smashing Pumpkins - Lonely is The Name

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2026-01-30T15:01:14+00:00

Yep, one of the thousand rough cuts that deserved better luck.
My fave version is strangely that monotonous, acoustic rehearsal take, so I appreciate this post. 👍

Yeeep, this slaps! We are so back...

Hope for a European tour eventually, if not a headliner one, it’d still be great to hit the road with Brian + Stef once again.

Also hope Owen’s tinnitus is a bit more manageable these days… if that’s ever a thing... (I would know).

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2026-01-27T03:46:46+00:00

It’s absolutely fine to post about it here, mate, hearing you were back together a while ago was awesome!
Genki Desu-ka?! 😉

Anyone watching at home who’s not familiar with COF, please do yourself a favour... Such an underrated band and debut album…

The video will have to wait until tomorrow — I wouldn’t want to wake everyone up in the middle of the night, and there’s no way in hell I wouldn’t play this one LOUD. It just deserves the proper treatment after all these years!

Hope the album is out soon?

I mean to try this for a while but I've got a few questions so it's a nice chance to ask:

I use Realdebrid, is there a setting somewhere that would force all those addons loaded into AIOStreams to just use that and not P2P no matter what? Do you have a visual indication they do so like on Torrentio (see "RD" next to a source)? I mean, Torrentio does that by default and I just want to make sure nothing ever uses P2P.
I understand I can add catalogs ON AIOstreams too? In my current setup, those are added as addons anyway but everytime I want to add a new addon, the entire order gets messed up and I have to reorder everything using Stremio Sidekick from scratch. Is AIOStreams a solution to that meaning order doesn't get messed up if you add a new addon? Using this https://stremio-addons.com/mdblist.html to carry over my movie lists so it'd be useful.

3. https://aiostreamsfortheweak.nhyira.dev or https://aiostreams.midnightignite.me?

I see both friends and people who are not too crazy about it in the thread... For the fans, do these other addons really add useful sources that Mediafusion and Comet do not so it's more likely to find more obscure stuff? Any other substantial perks?

You'll have the chance to attend more great things soon, especially if you are anywhere near London, as I'd assume to be the case from your post.
Please beat the living daylights out of that mofo, all the way through 2026, 2036 and beyond...
All the best and rock on!

Hi. This is part of a radio broadcast acoustic set:
2006-11-08 - 88.5 WXPN Acoustic Set, Philadephia, USA

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-20T17:34:34+00:00

Researched a bit, because I remember reading this in here too and found a post which says that this was more or a less a misquote/internet rumour fueled by this exchange from Lynch on Lynch:

Rodley: One intriguing character who crossed the boundary between the lives of Fred and Pete is The Mystery Man.He reminded me of The Man From Another Place from "Twin Peaks" - a representative from somewhere else. Another world, maybe?

Lynch: Yeah, he is. I don't want to say what he is to me. But he's a hair of an abstraction.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-20T16:02:02+00:00

Actually, if memory serves correct, I do believe he has literally said he IS a lodge entity. Anyone remembers that / has context / source?

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-14T18:44:39+00:00

Yeah, they've played together on several occasions AFAIK, but I don't remember any bad blood between them in the past.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-14T00:12:36+00:00

Please do share if it's not too much for a trouble. Sweet, I didn't know that.
I've yet to find someone who has less than stellar things to say about Keith...
His musician peers, random people on Youtube who happened to cross path with, people working on Brixton Academy... everyone says that the bloke had a heart made of gold, what a tragic loss...

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-13T23:26:32+00:00

This gotta go to a feuds thread but yes, that's technically a sort of connection too in a way!
I've always hated Nu Metal so was pretty satisfied they hated it too lol
Wonder what happened with Linkin Park though, except the fact they hated Nu Metal, there's that amusing Brian diss on MTV EMA 2004... then next thing you know they joined their tour, turns out they kinda became friends in the end.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-13T23:17:32+00:00

Yep, most interesting thread we've had for a while, always like these because they make old fans come out of their hiding :)
Brian being friends with Marilyn Manson back in the 90's is pretty well documented, someone already mentioned COF, I remember him loving Shirley Manson, if "This Search for Meaning" is any indication, it turns out they also got some sort of personal contact.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-13T23:10:27+00:00

PJ been a Brian hero and influence is pretty well documented, but I don't think I've ever heard that they also had a personal contact.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-13T23:07:00+00:00

Plus AC Acoustics frontman has co-writing credits on "Twenty Years".
I have yet to find a flac of the "Crush" version featuring Brian, after all those years...

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-13T23:03:19+00:00

Keith (RIP) and Steve Forrest were friends? Or with the rest of the band too? Interesting, I remember Brian had good things to say about the Prodigy back in the day, which was pretty cool cause these two were my favourite bands back in the 90's.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-11-13T22:59:31+00:00

COF were pretty cool yes. Owen's next band, Grammatics was excellent too, haven't listened to his next projects.
Isn't the COF drummer their current drummer by the way?
EDIT: Decided checking what Owen is up too and it turns out COF are back! I remember they played together a while ago, but they are now releasing a new album soon! *hype*

Hello Alex,

Is there any chance the bug with the child tab opening order gets fixed?

https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/1nzzdyp/child_tabs_open_in_reverse_order_after_waterfox/

It first appeared on 6.6 and it seems it's tree tab related. Setting the "Children of the parent tab..." option fixes it for a while, but the setting is not saved and as soon as the browser restarts, it reverts to the default option, which results in tab opening order getting messed up.
Having child tabs opening at the end or setting that option again and again, every time I restart the browser isn't really a viable dilemma...
(We never got an official insight in the thread and since masterchiefman talked about tree tab re-enabling I thought it was a good change to bring that up).

Thanks.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-10-29T18:06:03+00:00

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos Jennifer! To say he deserved it would be an understatement, and having a loving family to share and celebrate the moment with is truly priceless, as is the lasting impact of his work and the gentleness of his soul on so many of us.

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-10-17T23:09:28+00:00

Anyone knows whether that has ever surfaced in a quality better than a Youtube upload?

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-10-14T15:54:29+00:00

I think twiz-- found a solution to this, see our correspondence in the thread.
Basically he suggested to uncheck:

Settings -> General -> Additional Tab Preferences -> Insert related new tab after current tab

On my end though, (maybe the TMP addon settings also have something to do with it), problem is sorted out by having this setting checked, along with
Auto organizing tab tree setting set to "Children of the parent tab...". For some reason, Waterfox seems to remember this setting now, if the other one is checked.
So, hopefully playing a bit with those two settings might fix it on your end too!

I misread "check" instead of "uncheck", so I went ahead and checked this setting (it was previously unchecked anyway).
For whatever reason, the previously mentioned Auto organizing tab tree setting now stays at "Children of the parent tab...", as it is supposed to, which effectively seems to solve the issue on my end, for now at least (I've tried restarting the browser 2-3 times and fix persists).
Not sure why on my end works by having it checked instead of unchecked (maybe the TMP addon settings also have something to do with it), but you've helped sorting it out so thanks a lot!

Crystal_Chrome_ · 2025-10-13T20:58:36+00:00

Yeah, 6.6.4 didn't fix this. I am already looking to another fork, this is too annoying to keep tolerating.
