"Become the Enemy" is also great, but you forgot to mention a huge selling point: J. Mascis playing guitar, all over the record!

Wow, that's good to hear! I really liked their first record - some nice shoegazey touches - but had pretty much written them off as dead and gone…

The Master was actually so perfectly Buffy-esque that it was oddly… reassuring, I guess? "Ah, here's a madness I'm familiar with! Carry on."

Spin it off immediately, as part of a new programming block along with Vampire Hit Squad!

Because hacker reasons!

Yeah, I saw that, too… :(

Watched all three eps tonight… it's not bad at all, but yeah, it needs to fucking go somewhere soon.

Her?

Fair enough.

Ah, the perfect world…

You're absolutely right.

But why not write with your band? Iha tempered some of Corgan's worst qualities. And Corgan actually seems to respect Schroeder (he's nicer about him in interviews than he ever was about Iha), so why not use him?

To me, the division between old Billy (the fun one you might actually want to hang out with) and new Billy (the balding, humorless, pretentious grump) pretty much happened when they added the "The" to their name and dropped the equal parts incredible/bloated "Mellon Collie…"

Thing is, his new guitar player, Jeff Schroeder, is incredible - easily the equal of Iha, but he's not being utilized remotely well. Schroeder is as adept at screaming leads as he is at layering atmospheres, textured jangle and epic noise freakouts (not for nothing did his old band nickname him "Shredder").

Billy Corgan should, in general, shut the fuck up, unless he's writing songs this good: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Yeah, check it out, but beware: it may strain…

Eye dunno about all that…

Sprechen sie Rudolph?

You mean our anus, right?
