Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan:
In the early 1980s I was riding in a friend's car and he goes, "Have you ever heard Dark Side of the Moon?" I was like, "Yeah, I've heard it." They were like, "No, have you actually sat and listened to it?" So we just drove around and around and listened to the album. I had listened to albums and I was crazy about music, but that thing was from some other level. You had to acknowledge, "This is weird." There is some experience here that is distinct from, say, Sgt. Pepper or Pet Sounds. That's when I started going back and really looking at Pink Floyd in a much more serious way.

From a geeky audio perspective, Dark Side of the Moon is a landmark. But when I was a kid it wasn't so much about the sound. It was about the emotional experience. It was kind of an out-of-body thing. It taps some inner loneliness and alienation, but it does it in this way that sort of has a humanity to it. That's what I think is so brilliant about it. It both alienates and isolates you, but you don't end up feeling bummed out when it's over.

When the Beatles would talk about Sgt. Pepper being a concept record, Lennon would shit all over it and say it's not a concept record. He'd say, "It's a fucking lame idea and we just stitched together the songs to go together." You can project a concept record on Sgt. Pepper, but it's not really there. Pet Sounds has a similar thing with alienation. But Dark Side of the Moon is a concept record. It has a narrative theme with a beginning, middle and end. It goes somewhere and actually makes sense. There's not a wasted ounce on the fucking thing.

The show last night was amazing. The setlist was the same one Doug posted above. The band sounded great, and Billy's voice was strong as hell. The new tunes are good and blended really well with the older stuff.

Also, the Nicole Fiorentino is fucking hot, and really solid on bass.

Hour long Billy Corgan Interview....from crestfallen.com a TSP fansite

good stuff!

On Friday the 13th (April 2012), Crestfallen.com interviewed Billy Corgan over the phone. The interview lasted for well over an hour and covered the reissue process, an in-depth look at the Lucky 13 project, the upcoming release of Oceania, and much more.

Well, it's definitely the best sounding record they've recorded since Mellon Collie....Especially through my studio monitors.
You can tell the songs were really well rehearsed as the band is super tight...

I'm holding out for a few more listens, but there are 4 songs that jump out right away. There is a "modern" element to classic tones. Some really different mixing techniques, synths, a glockenspiel, fucked up distortions, chick backing vocals, grandiose endings. There might have even been a tuba at one point. The drums are pretty huge and I don't miss Jimmy at all. Lyrics are corny at times, but that's to be expected.

encouraging...

So far, tracks 1, 2, 10, and Pinwheels are the standouts.
Billy's voice sounds awesome on this record, too.

I've hated the last couple albums but liked this one enough to say yes to a ticket offer for tomorrow.

On U.S. sales totaling one-seventh those of Justin Bieber’s just-​released Believe—Bieber’s fourth number-one album in under three years—the Smashing Pumpkins’ new record Oceania occupies the fourth position on this week’s Billboard chart.

Oceania reportedly moved 54,000 copies in becoming the sixth Smashing Pumpkins album to reach Billboard‘s top four. It is the seventh album of songs principally written by Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan to chart that high.

It's really sad that only selling 54,000 copies of an album in the first week of release is good enough to get #4 on the charts.
