A: MCIS, it sounds most naturally to me.

Q: Which re-issue is the one you could live without the most ?

A: I really want all of them because of the bonus material. But in terms of the actual album, I probably wouldn't listen to Adore as much. I like it the way it is.

Q: If you could re-arrange the order of when each Pumpkins' album was released, what would be the order?

A: 1991 Adore
1993 Machina
1995 Zeitgeist
1998 Gish
2000 Siamese Dream

Post Break Up

2007 Teargarden
2009 Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness

Q: If you were a journalist, what 5 questions would you ask BC during interview?

A:Why did Darcy really leave?
Why did JC really leave?
Were you really as much of an asshole during the old days as they say you were?
Why have you lost the ability to put soul into SP these days?
Do you still know the original Machina Double Album tracklisting?

Q: Do you think BC is actually gonna go back to releasing Teargarden song by song?

A: Interesting. I assumed he would, but then nothing's guaranteed these days. I can't believe he pushed Oceania's September 1st date further ahead, totally casual-like too. Annoying

Q: Which of the following makes you a bigger SP fan:

A) Owing more SP original CDs, Vinyls, posters, T-shirts and rarities
B) Going to more SP shows
C) Liking SP2
D) Hating SP2
E) Your name is Bally Corgan
F) Logging into thepumpkins.net 20 times a day

A: F!

Q: Do you think BC is a morning person?

Apparently he is! During the Zeitgeist sessions, him and Jimmy got up at 8 every morning and had cereal!

Would Adore exist in any form had Jimmy not been kicked out of the band?

I believe it would have assuming that BC's mother still passed away in this alternate reality.

Who's more talented, BC or JC? How close is it?

A: BC is way more talented than JC.
What BC brings to songs - atmosphere, lyrics, direction and heart goes way beyond what the best drummer in the world can offer.

That said... I never heard the Jimmy Chamberlain Complex.
Sounded too complicated

Q: Predict the Obituary Dates for all of SPs members, present and past...

Eh, I am horrible at predictions but I think D'arcy is the safe bet to go first given her apparent drug issues, followed by Jimmy because he lived the life of a hard core rock and roller for so long. Billy I think goes next due to a combo of anxiety and depression, and I think James lives to a ripe old age. Then I think Jeff, Melissa, and Nicole in that order, with Mike going last (he is only 21, right?). I hope my abstaining from giving dates does not ruin the question...

Because he had to cover his eye-lasers, that were more powerful than those of Billy.

BLASPHEMY!

Most likely he wore glasses and the goggles prevented him losing his vision if he got too erratic drumming. Either that or just a style thing.

What is the one unforgivable affront that Oceania better not have or else?

A: Stupid as shit lyrics and Billy choirs.

Q: Do you think Oceania will need to grow, or it will it blow your mind first listen?

The best of them (SD/MCIS) took a long time to grow on me, 10~ months and 4~ months respectively. So if I'm not stunned at once, I'll consider it a good sign.

When the fuck is Billy gonna throw us a bone and post an old demo or something?

A: Not Until The Re-Issues Come Out
Billy Loves Keeping Us Waiting

Q:What Is So Wrong With "Disarm"?
It's A Great Track On Siamese Dream
A Definitely Not Over-rated
Bleed That Fucken Heart Out Billy

A: I agree nothing wrong with it, haters gonna hate, y'know?

Q: What will be looked upon as the Pumpkins crowning achievement in 20 years? Whether it be a song or an album.
