We love having the boys from MACHINA II in the lounge space and on this episode they tell us all about the new EP, The Jazz Tape, Volume 1, which they did with producer RECTITUDE, and we get into other interesting topics like if they had ever heard of Drake or if a Michael Jackson instrumental was cancelled - or not. The Jazz Tape, Volume 1 is streaming everywhere.
Episode Notes This time I'm joined by friend of the show Kim to talk about the next 3 episodes of the Legend of Vox Machina! It's a terrible cartoon. Also she didn't watch the first 3 episodes. Boogie when he pops the phantom idk i didnt watch the show

Fall is right around the corner, but Machina Summer ain't over yet! Today we're covering the Machina II EPs, starting with EP One (CR-01). Joining us to talk about all three EPs is musician, writer and longtime Pumpkinhead Alan Passman (author of When The Pain Starts), who tells us about the "Stand Inside Your Love"-inspired poem and artwork from his new graphic novel and what the song and band have meant to him over the years. In addition to lots of great insights on the Pumpkins and the Machina era, Alan reveals that he was an extra in the "Perfect" music video, making a plea to Billy/Santa Claus to release the “Perfect House Show" on vinyl. He also shares a paper towel-related interaction with Billy that didn't go so well. We all discuss the satisfying wail of a Corgan and Iha solo, the Black Sabbath fog of "Saturnine" (and how that song title inspired Frank's high school alternative band), and the thick, concrete-building sludge that is this version of "Glass' Theme." All that plus bands that "ripped off" the Pumpkins and the joy of mishearing "widows" as "weirdos." “If you can't stand the heat, get off of Mickey Rourke's sex grill." Enjoy!

Aaaand.... we're back! We continue our in-depth discussion of the Machina II EPs with Alan Passman (When The Pain Starts), covering EP TWO (CR-02). This installment takes us into the spiritual connection of "Soul Power," "Lucky 13" gets us going about Jason Takes Manhattan and we ponder a "Speed Kills"/Monuments To An Elegy connection. We also discuss the misguided criticism of the grandiosity of the band's visual aesthetic, which versions of songs we prefer and the Machina II Acoustic Demos. All that plus one simple wish: For the next tour to involve Billy performing Madonna-style costume changes to showcase the fashion of the Pumpkins over the years. “Glass wrote this song!” Follow us on the socials!

Well, we always get a little melancholy on the last day of summer... but the last day of MACHINA SUMMER never felt so cold! We conclude our discussion of the Machina II EPs with Alan Passman (When The Pain Starts), covering EP THREE (CR-03) aka "the alt/counter-versions EP." We talk about the epic bones of “If There Is A God,” the "1979" and Fountains of Wayne-like quirk of the alternate version of "Try, Try, Try" and the strange charm of this version of "Heavy Metal Machine." All that plus some appreciation for the DIY aesthetic of the EPs' artwork (we want a flame/drop shirt reprint, please!), and our own Glass-like greater meaning behind loving the Pumpkins. Though we may not have lost our virginity by the end of it, there's no denying it's been One Crazy Machina Summer! Follow us on the socials!

Released for free on the Internet (ever heard of it?) in September of 2000, The Smashing Pumpkins' sixth and "final" studio album, MACHINA II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music was an unconventional release, born of resistance from the record label to the idea of a grand Machina double album and an instinct to lean into the new phenomenon of digital file sharing rather than fight it. Despite its bootleg nature and sub-Pono audio quality (sorry, Neil) Machina II is chock full of fan favorites and steeped in a retrospective and introspective view on fame. In this episode, Frank and Pat delve into the proper, official Machina II album (we'll cover all of the EP tracks in upcoming episodes), discussing everything from Billy's throwback, child-like coo in "Innosense" to the stone-cold, undeniable spank-ass rock of "Dross." We also get into the the aerial view of the Machina project as a whole and pray to the Almighty Lord Santa for the deluxe reissue. All that plus Frank embraces a wrestling persona and becomes the heel when talking about "Home," and we answer big questions like: Which song reminds Pat of a clown funeral? Is this version of "Here's to the Atom Bomb" a subtle nod to Courtney Love? And IS "White Spyder" the Pumpkins' "Ace of Spades"? We say it's natural/magic, kid! Follow us on the socials!

Jon and Jason wrap up the “I”’s this week, with album tracks from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Oceania, and Machina II, two Adore demos, a song that only appears on the vinyl version of Mellon Collie, and a song by Billy Corgan’s short-lived power trio: The Backwards Clock Society.
After a busy few months, Jon and Jason are finally back this week to finish up the “H” songs, including: standout tracks from Siamese Dream and MACHINA II, a b-side released by Sub Pop, and the very first Zwan single. They also give their first impressions of “Solara,” the new Smashing Pumpkins song featuring the return of James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin.
“SP: A to Z” has its first special guest host this week, as Jon and Jason invite their good friend Jem (a musician and songwriter, with mixed feelings about the Smashing Pumpkins) to bring a fresh perspective to the podcast. The three of them discuss album tracks from Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie, and Machina II, and two live songs from the Hideout in Chicago.
Jon and Jason wrap up the D’s this week, with tracks from Machina II and Monuments to an Elegy, a classic Pumpkins song from the “Singles” soundtrack, a not-so-classic Zwan song, a “cyber metal” epic, and more.
Eventually this will be a monthly punk*-only show of remixable Creative Commons music, brought to you my Doug of the Music Manumit Podcast. Many of the tracks will have been played on previous Music Manumit shows, but eventually I'll run out of punk songs from that show.Download ogg* (let me know if you want an mp3 version. I can make that happen, it'll just take more of my time. :) )"Uppkomlingen" - by Gråsuggorna - (punk) - CC-BY-NC-SA - Website"Punkpolice" - by Predator - (punk) - BY-SA-NC - Website"frustrator" - by NO SE (punk) - BY-SA-NC - Website"Punk Chicks" - by The A.G's (pop punk) - CC-BY - Website There's not likely to be a lot of pop punk on the show, but I like to reward groups that don't use the -NC. Also, this is a song *about* punk, so I feel it's relevant."Glass" by The Smashing Pumpkins (punk...just listen to it) off MACHINA II (an "unreleased album") - CC BY-NC-SA - WebsiteIf you have a better genre for this than punk, I'd be curious as to what people think of it."Something's Wrong" by Loudog (skacore) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website*punk, skacore, hardcore and the punkier post-hardcore. There will be very little, if any of what most people think of "post-punk". There will also be very little, if any of what is commonly known as "Emo-core" or "Screamo" (old-school or 'real screamo' may be a possibility)
