Totally flattered by this initiative from https://www.instagram.com/ecscion_figur/ to produce an action-figure inspired by some of my noisy activities! It actually feels like getting a Bachelor of Arts at the Oxford University, thanks

The Smashing Pumpkins

Me: ... oh you mean like the condiment

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream #smashingpumpkins #siamesedream #billycorgan If you know me in real life, you know that for better or for worse old-school Smashing Pumpkins are probably my favorite band of all time (though I like to pretend that anything after Adore was but a fever dream). Siamese Dream is honestly tied with Mellon Collie as my favorite and most influential albums, probably of all time. I’ve been a guitar player for about 25 years and Siamese Dream was the album that convinced me to save money from mowing lawns $5 dollars a pop to buy my first piece of garbage Fender Squier Stratocaster to emulate Billy Corgan. I listened to this album repeatedly on a busted old cassette walkman held shut with tape while I mowed every day one summer and got to a point where I could imagine and hum every part to every instrument. It would be years before I had any form of technical prowess to play most of these tracks and even longer before I’d own a Big Muff or Les Paul or any of the requisite gear to pull of a big self-indulgent SP song, but I never stopped loving the songs on this album. They’re beautiful as-is, but they’re infinitely valuable in how they’ve shaped me as a musician. I’m spending the rest of today setting up my home studio that’s largely been in storage for the past 4 years and I’m hoping to pick up right where I left off in songwriting and recording. My soundtrack for the day? This album on repeat. #vinyl #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyligclub #vinyllovers #vinylclub #vinylrecords #vinylcollectionpost #lp #records #vinylexams (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLd40AgAVQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1byzdpsiszj3a
