Richard Hell / Voidoids St. Etienne, excellent ! Your best of the bunch is that comp Smashing Pumpkins.. Hold the door ! 😊 Gish and Siamese Dream ? Pretty good 3 fer 🎵
It's never-ending ! I just got back from Bill's, and I'm enjoying all of the records I picked earlier. I blew it, though, Steve.. I flipped by Cherrie Curry's debut over there ! Big Ouch !! 😖 I will go back for it ASAP 👍
Your new grand daughter is lovely Steve. So, so proud you must be! Her name is terrific. This might be the sunniest sunshine EVER on the Early Morning Sunday Show - not a coincidence with this new blessing to your family ☀️ And thanks again for joining on SURFACE NOISE with us knuckleheads. You classed up the joint and it was a blast! 🙌🏻
Chance, that is a nice group of people you have on Surface Noise, it was definitely an honor to be asked to join. I see you dropped a video, well done, something to watch at work tomorrow lol. Yes that was a sunny Sunday show. Damn I wish I had thought of that. Evie came home today. I am so excited and she is going to be spoiled by Ba Ba That was not my choice of name for grandpa.
Steve, congratulations 🎈. Chance, concert buddie delivered your hello. Super cool to meet him. Great VCLT from Ron. Oh wow killer all the smashing pumpkins. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Glad you got to meet Chance. He is a great guy that I hope to meet sometime soon. Need his picture on my wall. Ron really sent me a great group of records. The kindness of the VC Zonkman
I got to meet Chance yesterday. It was a pleasure. Good dude. Siamese Dream is and always will be my favorite Smashing Pumpkins album. I used to have a 1993 pressing but sold it because it fetched so much money. Well, it fetches 3 times what I sold it for now. 😞 Congrats on the grandbaby! Hope everything else is going well and you aren’t working too hard in retirement. Lol ✌🏻
Chance is great. I told him the NC vinyl contingent is a great bunch of people. Now I have to meet him. Isn’t that something on the Pumpkins. I congratulate you for being able to give that album up. Most collectors won’t give up their most expensive albums as it is hard to bring them back in again. Jon, life is great, it is so wonderful to see my grandkids several times a week and watch them grow. I feel extremely blessed
Hello Steve; Congratulations to your family on the birth of grandchild Evelyn. Crows, some music to Crow about, in addition to your grand daughter. Ozric Tentacles relaxing progressive sound. Always nice to receive VCLT from a friend. Some good LP's. Saint Etienne soft pop. Smashing Pumpkins, alt.rockers. Take care, Tina & Pat!~
Bobby, the Crows album was top notch especially if you’re a post punk fan. I keep looking for something new coming out. I just got in a brand new shoe gaze album that was atop notch band. Hell was a huge surprise , his first album is essential punk in my book
Steve, another grandkid lucky man. A granddaughter wow! Good news. Nice generous VCLT package. It's great getting unknown music. St. Etienne l love. Well described. I've never heard Smashing Pumpkins 😮 mental.
Mike, I am surprised you never have heard the Pumpkins, they must be more of a North American thing. Stream their greatest hits and see what you think. They really rocked incredibly hard but also had a soft side. A new grandbaby, I feel blessed Mike. I hope one of them like music
grand daughter! all your teams winning. everything is coming up Steve!!! ( Simpsons reference ) loved ozric tentacles for years. they remind me a lot of GONG. thank you for the shout out! you are most welcome. now that you have blown my cover i,ll have to find a new you tube handle!🙃
Sorry for blowing your cover Ron, luckily most of us have short term memory lol. That was some amazing records. They will slowly filter into my Sunday show My grandkids are my everything I hope one of them will like music
Hi Steve, Many congratulations to you and your family on the new addition, wonderful news. Hope everything is going well. Loved the room tour, really liked the human, emotional touches you have added to raise it above a basic record room. Total treasure trove in the side room also. Think it may need a bit of an expansion though.... 😊. Best wishes to you all.
Thank you so much Cliff. The pictures are my favorite part, so many great memories with each picture. A lot of people I met I didn’t get a picture of sadly
Steve, Congrats on the lovely addition to your family! I enjoyed the Smashing Pumpkins segment. You might want to add Pisces Iscariot to your collection. It's been reissued. "Frail and Bedazzled" is right up your alley. That album has so many beautiful songs on it. Take care🙃
Mark, you are a fan of SP. there albums go for a lot of money. I would think you would have some originals from them. I met my granddaughter Sunday, she was wonderful
Congratulations on getting Ozric Tentacles and Smashing Pumpkins on vinyl. Cool VCLT from Ron. I got that Lonely Is An Eyesore comp when it came out (on CD.) I think mostly because it was a 4AD record. Congratulations on the new granddaughter! I hope you have a great week.
Randy, I am super excited to have another grandchild. She is a new ray of sunshine. I was so happy to find that Ozric album. It blew me away in 93 and it still sounds great!
Hey Ba Ba! congrats on the beautiful grand daughter! The world just became a little bit sweeter. The Crows looks interesting, gonna definitely check it out. Ozric Tentacles is a band that I always see their albums but never pick them up. I never see that Richard Hell album, but I need to get it in the collection. Nice Smashing Pumpkins pick ups, love Siamese Dream and Gish, the Greatest Hits comp looks cool too. I've read that Billy Corgan was a control freak and a perfectionist, which of course can cause a lot of strife! Cool pickups this video Steve, have a great week.
I had bought men a newer Ozric Tentacles but this is the one I really wanted Michael. Definitely spacey music. The Hell album was on my want list. I still had my vinyl from the flood so it was wonderful to get it. One more album off the list
Steve, My Grandson was born at 4:04 this morning on the 6th. We both have one of each now. We just got electric after 10 days we were in the path of Hurricane Helene in Augusta Georgia. The whole town was was pretty destroyed. Awesome Video!!! Congrats!
I did not know Augusta got hit that hard. That is a place I have always wanted to visit due to all of its history. 10 days no power, wow, we really learn how much we need the juice to run our lives So sad about your city. Huge congrats on your new grandchild. Are they not the most special part of your life I am so excited to be so close to my grandkids that I can watch them grow now
Congratulations Steve on the new addition to your family The Zulus..wow.They're A Boston band,,dude.. And have been since the seventies/Formed by former Members of the Band Human Sexual Response ..................................................................................... I've picked up some CDs recently Megan McDonough/Blue Star Highway And a fine album by a band by the name of The Infamous Stringdusters........
Isa, the stuff you find and listen to is always amazing. I can not believe the music you find, I have no idea about a lot of it. I got another Boston band, someday I should do a video of Boston bands as I seem to have a lot of them. Evelyn comes home today, super excited about it
So that's what Ozric Tentacles sounds like, not what I expected, thanks Steve. All my Smashing Pumpkins is on CD, nice finds on vinyl there. You know you want Mellon Collie too though lol. I actually found a later album of theirs I enjoyed more than I thought I would, not a fan of the noisier stuff but I like the more melodic side of them. Congrats on the new arrival, the family is growing. Cheers and have a good week
Doug, being a grandparent is something very special. You have a ways to go but it truly is something special. Yeah Ozric has made 30 trippy albums, all instrumental. Kind of prog, space rock, electronic … kind of hard to classify. I am in the noisy side of the pumpkins but that is my shoegaze side of me Doug
Congratulations on your granddaughter Steve . Exciting times ..,🎉saint etienne are named after a French football team , I think you described them pretty accurately.. liked 1979 by the pumpkins but I never checked them out properly. Cheers Steve 👍
A French football team, I wondered where Saint Etienne got the name from. There music fits perfectly with a French sounding name. I would recommend you Strega the Pumpkins greatest hits Rob, their music would probably fit into what you like to listen to. My granddaughter comes home today, I am over the moon excited to hold her and say hi. Always a joy to hear from you Rob
Congratulations to all of you! I keep umming and arring about that Crows album and telling myself I've bought too many records recently. One of these days I suspect! I have Jurassic Shift, the same version, I think. And three or four other Ozric albums. Definitely a bit of prog in there!! Saint Etienne is a smallish city in central France which was famous for having a football (soccer) team that punched above its weight back in the 80s, reaching the European competitions most years, and I believe the band named themselves after the football team with some tongue-in-cheek irony. Interesting overview of Smashing Pumpkins. I have Melon Collie on CD, though it was my wife's. It's one of those bands I really ought to check out more. I believe they have a new album coming soon. Great video again, Steve. And congratulation again on the arrival of Evelyn
Andy, I have noticed in the comments that the Pumpkins did not seem to be that big in the UK. They were massive in the states. I know what you mean about too many records. I visited a new store yesterday and walked out with The Cure Disintegration. I had a repress and OG vinyl but I dropped a load of money for this. Self Control is not my middle name Andy lol
First off, congrats on becoming a grandfather again❤. Regarding the Smashing Pumpkins, I would add Mellon Collie and Adore, but beyond that, nothing is up to scratch. I am still trying my best to tackle the rest of their catalogue, but it has been a lost battle thus far. Greetings from Sweden
Most of my relatives live in Sweden. I spent a couple weeks there, love that country. Smashing Pumpkins is a tough group to collect, their albums go for a lot of money at least in the US. Best of luck on your quest
Congratulations Steve, on the birth of your granddaughter! Ozric Tentacles...30 albums?! Saint Etienne is a band I've heard of, but never heard. I like the sample. The Smashing Pumpkins, sometimes yes, sometimes no for me. I do have a couple of 12" singles. Have a great week, thanks
Ralph, a lot of people seem to feel that way about the Pumpkins. The Greatest Hits really is quite good especially the first LP. Very catchy tunes. Ozric Tentacles have been pretty prolific in releasing music but not as much as King Gizzard
To think I still don’t have that Saint Etienne album and now you said its the best?!? I feel like a shmuck! Hi hi. Mazeltov and tillykke grandpa Steve. Lovely scenery at the start and very interesting music. Enjoy your Sunday.
Always trying to keep the music interesting Morten. Breckenridge was amazing, I have a lot of video from that trip to show. Yes Morten- So Tough is the album to have, let’s get cracking on that lol
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Breckenridge looks amazing. Would love to have been there. I got a Saint Etienne relared video comming on Wednesday and another November 3rd. Last nights video is a very VC inspired video I hope people will find interesting, not least the one who inspired who seems to have gone under the radar a bit lately?
Hi Steve - Loved the cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Saint Etienne & enjoyed Smashing Pumpkins 🎃 & Interpol on tour last summer. Tigers 🐅 are banking on their Cy Young pitcher winning Games 2&5 & sneaking a victory in game 3 or 4 to claim the Cleveland series.
Yeah Cleveland is going to be tough to beat David. We have been trying to watch when we can Siamese Dream is a special album, packed with great tracks but not an easy group to be in.
Steve, the Carlson family is exploding! I had never heard of Ozric Tentacles until while visiting my parents in Alabama I went to Sunburst Records (sadly, they burned down years later), and saw Ozric Tentacles so I started buying a few during the mid-1990s. Mostly CDs. Melon Collie is the only Smashing Pumpkins that I have. Thanks, Chris
Pretty funny how I learned about it was from one of my college employees. He introduced me to a lot of the new great music that was coming out, especially from the UK. This is the one Ozric that I really needed back in the collection
Many congrats on the granddaughter Steve. I want the Lonely Is an Eyesore 4AD comp, expensive over here. That Pumpkins hits sounds like a good idea. I had a French gf who came from St Étienne so I’ve actually been there ; ). The football team is actually called AS Saint-Étienne, cheers
Thank you Steve, I got to meet her today. I had no idea on that 4 AD comp, I need to spend some time with it. Steve, I love greatest hits comps. I only have so much room so the comp is the way to go for me. So great to hear from you
I always thought it was pronounced Et-yen. Huge and in all other ways, congratulations on the new family addition. If your family gets much bigger, you might have to move to Utah. Parts of that Crows song reminds me a lot of The Butthole Surfers. I have that Jr. Gone Wild album. I think I picked it up in L.A. Really liked it. Agree about the Smashing Pumkins. I saw one of the more recent albums on Amazon and check out some of the songs. I thought it was pretty uncreative stuff. Didn't buy the record. Congrats again. Perhaps you could secretly teach her to say "You should buy that record, Grampa." Everyone will think it's so cute.
Lmao Darrell on the proper phrases for our grandkids to say. Who could say now if my grandchild told me to buy that record! Yes once again I called upon you for your expertise in the French language. Et Yen sounds good for me and now if I can remember I will go with that pronunciation. As usual I bow to your infinite wisdom
Such beautiful fall colors, again you make me homesick for Colorado. Congrats on Evelyn, the newbie to the family! Great sound on those Crows tracks, there's another one to add to the list. Finally, an album by Ozric Tentacles not shown by me. I never seen them shown in the VC. I do have the "Strangeitude" album on vinyl. Are you sure it was right side up when you thought it was up side down or vice versa? That's some cool VCLT from Ron (Brucey....I thought that was his name too lol). Great choices with picking up the early Smashing Pumpkins album. Of course, if you have Smashing Pumpkins, you gotta have "Siamese Dream". Such a classic album. If you love that "Wall of Sound" sound, you should check out some Devin Townsend sometime. He's one that gets a lot of accolades, but no one seems to have heard of him. He's Canadian BTW and has a ton of albums out there. I recommend starting with the album "Terria". Anyway, that's my pointer of the week. Thanks for putting up with the long comments.
Mike thank you for the recommendation, I will listen to some of his music. When I got this Ozric album back in 93 it was so different and new to me so it was exciting to see it was reissued. Colorado can knock your socks off with scenery. I have a ton of footage in my phone to share
Congratulations Grandpa, Evelyn is such a nice name too, can't see any grand kids on my horizon for a good while yet. Good review of the brilliant CROWS album, my Dinked version is on blue vinyl but still sounds amazing. Not much love for them being shown yet in the comments, hoping they get some more recognition in the future, they've not released a bad album, their 2016 12" EP/LP is still one of my favourites but is hard and expensive to find. I don't know why but I've never ventured into the Smashing Pumpkins world, perhaps they were too big at the time - I never followed the crowd - but if a man who appreciates Crows recommends them 😉 then it's time to give them a go, it's not as if I need much prompting to buy more records! Not a Lions fan but want them to win it all this year, such an historical franchise needs it.
I saw and watched you videos with Crows but couldn’t comment. Everyone that I know who bought their last album loved it. This is another strong effort. Best thing I can tell you about the Pumpkins is stream their greatest hits. First LP is backed with great songs. I have what I need from them now I hope one of my grandkids decides to like music
Nice great outdoors footage grandpa Mike. So the Crows, not The Crows...got it 👍A bit Joy Division which is a good thing. Ozric Tenticles took me a while to realise it was upside down because of that trippy artwork. Sounds good. That 2nd Richard Hell is great. What's A Few Men was my intro to H&C. Listen to their song Talking To A Stranger and you won't consider them country rock. Punk funk weirdness & damn good. Saint Etienne's So Tough is a fun record. Gish & Siamese Dream were so good and then Billy Corgon thought he could sing and it got soooo bloated musically. I don't mind the song 1979 after those two but that's about it. Nice work Mike...Cheers Mike
lol Mike on Billy Corgan. Yeah Smashing Pumpkins had some more hits but I really find no need to look into them in further. Crows are great. This is my second album from them and they just tear it up. Definitely some Joy Divison happening in their music. Ozric Tentacles has put out 30 instrumental trippy albums. I’m probably the only one that has listened to them without any other types of stimulants lol. Hope your doing well Mike
Steve for 8 seconds I thought me or Jeff had turned you on to some noise , not Noise Rock but some real pure noise. Nope, you went to a waterfall. That's cool
Hearty congratulations are in order for your new granddaughter 🎉. If you've been catching the ends of my videos you've known we now have one more thing in common besides 🍺 and music...an Evelyn in the fold. So happy for you Bud.
Isn’t it a special time Greg, I couldn’t be more excited. My grandson has been having fun wearing me out lol. Evelyn comes home today so I finally get to meet her, so excited
I love that Ozric Tentacles album, definitely a classic! Hey, as a Smashing Pumpkins completist, you know you need Mellon Collie!! You could trade that Greatest Hits album in towards credit towards Mellon Collie. Or maybe as a completist, you need that. One thing I would recommend is on your pronunciation of the original bass player’s name. Congratulations on your new granddaughter!
My granddaughter is wonderful. Already spent time with her I have a newer album for Ozric but this is the one I really wanted to have. Get the colored lights going and crank it up
Good morning Steve! Crows sound interesting never heard of them. Ah the Pumpkins love their first two albums and some of the third one but lost interest after that So far I’ve resisted the urge to buy Mellon Collie Congrats on your new granddaughter!! Take care Brian ☮️
So you have the same Pumpkins issue as I do Brian lol. Greatest Hits is the way to go though those first two really show a lot of creative energy. Crows, well worth checking out. The 2 albums I have from them are excelllent. Evelyn comes home today and I will get to meet her, I am so excited Brian
Hi Steve. So Tough has a beautiful style! Loved it! Corgan’s whining screaming voice immediately turned me off from TSP. Gish is a melancholy masterpiece. I just love that album. 30 albums is impressive. I’ve always found the word tentacles too easy to mispronounce 😂. Digging their album cover! Great instrumental sounds! Nice VCLT from Ron. Have a great week.
Smashing Pumpkins had such a hard sound at times but that is what caught my attention. Their later albums just didn’t do it for me. Ozric Tentacles is such a spacey sound, I only need a couple of albums from them, I got the one I really needed Thanks for dropping by Steve. If you head to Toas let me know If I can make a trip there I will
Not much in my wheelhouse today, i'm afraid, Professor, but that's cool, as always - I love listening to what you have to say about each band, even if they're not my cup of tea. Did you know Billy Corgan has a side gig these days as the owner of NWA Wrestling? I'm still convinced the only reason they got back together was so he could make enough money to continue to prop his wrestling promotion up, heh heh. Congrats on the new granddaughter - is she Aiden's sister or his cousin? Either way, I'm sure you'll have fun with both of them. Have a great week, sir!
I did not know that about Corgan. Of all things to invest in he chose wrestling. Oh a boy and his money. I got to meet Evie yesterday. I could not be more excited TC
You would probably dig Ozric T, great spacey trippy music. People talk a lot about Fountaines DC but I don’t know much about them Eric. I need to listen to some of their music
I used to have an Ozric Tentacles CD, and now I am wondering what happened to it. Jr. Gone Wild is a Canadian band I haven't thought about in years. Smashing Pumpkins! I have nothing from them on vinyl, which is odd.
Richard Hell / Voidoids St. Etienne, excellent ! Your best of the bunch is that comp Smashing Pumpkins.. Hold the door ! 😊 Gish and Siamese Dream ? Pretty good 3 fer 🎵
Yeah, I said I only needed the Pumpkins greatest hits and then I buy 2 more albums. When will the insanity end JT lol
It's never-ending ! I just got back from Bill's, and I'm enjoying all of the records I picked earlier. I blew it, though, Steve.. I flipped by Cherrie Curry's debut over there ! Big Ouch !! 😖 I will go back for it ASAP 👍
Congratulations and welcome to the world Evelyn. Hooray!
Thank you Scott. I could not be happier What a joy
Your new grand daughter is lovely Steve. So, so proud you must be! Her name is terrific.

I met her Sunday, perfect in every way!
I got to meet Chance yesterday. It was a pleasure. Good dude. Siamese Dream is and always will be my favorite Smashing Pumpkins album. I used to have a 1993 pressing but sold it because it fetched so much money. Well, it fetches 3 times what I sold it for now. 😞 Congrats on the grandbaby!

Congratulations, Steve! Enjoy the extra grandparenting.
Thank you so much. I could not be more excited. My grandchildren are everything to me and I am blessed to be living so close to them.
Congratulations to you and your family, Steve!
Thank you, I am so excited to have a granddaughter. I couldn’t be happier
Great Video! Welcome Evelyn! Nice packaging on the Crows album. Love that Richard Hell, and the Smashing Pumpkins. Cheers
Bobby, the Crows album was top notch especially if you’re a post punk fan. I keep looking for something new coming out. I just got in a brand new shoe gaze album that was atop notch band. Hell was a huge surprise , his first album is essential punk in my book

And have been since the seventies/Formed by former
Members of the Band Human Sexual Response

I've picked up some CDs recently
Megan McDonough/Blue Star Highway
And a fine album by a band by the name of The Infamous Stringdusters........

The Crows was great, just like their last album Jeff. Some wonderful post punk music Jeff

To think I still don’t have that Saint Etienne album and now you said its the best?!? I feel like a shmuck! Hi hi.
Mazeltov and tillykke grandpa Steve.
Lovely scenery at the start and very interesting music.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Always trying to keep the music interesting Morten. Breckenridge was amazing, I have a lot of video from that trip to show. Yes Morten- So Tough is the album to have, let’s get cracking on that lol
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Breckenridge looks amazing. Would love to have been there.
I got a Saint Etienne relared video comming on Wednesday and another November 3rd. Last nights video is a very VC inspired video I hope people will find interesting, not least the one who inspired who seems to have gone under the radar a bit lately?
Hi Steve - Loved the cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Saint Etienne & enjoyed Smashing Pumpkins 🎃 & Interpol on tour last summer. Tigers 🐅 are banking on their Cy Young pitcher winning Games 2&5 & sneaking a victory in game 3 or 4 to claim the Cleveland series.
Yeah Cleveland is going to be tough to beat David. We have been trying to watch when we can Siamese Dream is a special album, packed with great tracks but not an easy group to be in.
congrats baba...
peace..rocky
I am a very happy baba Rocky
Steve, the Carlson family is exploding! I had never heard of Ozric Tentacles until while visiting my parents in Alabama I went to Sunburst Records (sadly, they burned down years later), and saw Ozric Tentacles so I started buying a few during the mid-1990s. Mostly CDs. Melon Collie is the only Smashing Pumpkins that I have. Thanks, Chris
Pretty funny how I learned about it was from one of my college employees. He introduced me to a lot of the new great music that was coming out, especially from the UK. This is the one Ozric that I really needed back in the collection
Congrats on the new Grand Kid Steve. That's two of them now. Take lot's of pictures bud because they grow up real fast.
Bobby, I am so excited to live so close to them that now I can really watch them grow and change
Many congrats on the granddaughter Steve. I want the Lonely Is an Eyesore 4AD comp, expensive over here. That Pumpkins hits sounds like a good idea. I had a French gf who came from St Étienne so I’ve actually been there ; ). The football team is actually called AS Saint-Étienne, cheers
Thank you Steve, I got to meet her today. I had no idea on that 4 AD comp, I need to spend some time with it. Steve, I love greatest hits comps. I only have so much room so the comp is the way to go for me. So great to hear from you
I always thought it was pronounced Et-yen. Huge and in all other ways, congratulations on the new family addition. If your family gets much bigger, you might have to move to Utah. Parts of that Crows song reminds me a lot of The Butthole Surfers. I have that Jr. Gone Wild album. I think I picked it up in L.A. Really liked it. Agree about the Smashing Pumkins. I saw one of the more recent albums on Amazon and check out some of the songs. I thought it was pretty uncreative stuff. Didn't buy the record.
Congrats again. Perhaps you could secretly teach her to say "You should buy that record, Grampa." Everyone will think it's so cute.
Lmao Darrell on the proper phrases for our grandkids to say. Who could say now if my grandchild told me to buy that record! Yes once again I called upon you for your expertise in the French language. Et Yen sounds good for me and now if I can remember I will go with that pronunciation. As usual I bow to your infinite wisdom
Such beautiful fall colors, again you make me homesick for Colorado. Congrats on Evelyn, the newbie to the family! Great sound on those Crows tracks, there's another one to add to the list. Finally, an album by Ozric Tentacles not shown by me. I never seen them shown in the VC. I do have the "Strangeitude" album on vinyl. Are you sure it was right side up when you thought it was up side down or vice versa? That's some cool VCLT from Ron (Brucey....I thought that was his name too lol). Great choices with picking up the early Smashing Pumpkins album. Of course, if you have Smashing Pumpkins, you gotta have "Siamese Dream". Such a classic album. If you love that "Wall of Sound" sound, you should check out some Devin Townsend sometime. He's one that gets a lot of accolades, but no one seems to have heard of him. He's Canadian BTW and has a ton of albums out there. I recommend starting with the album "Terria". Anyway, that's my pointer of the week. Thanks for putting up with the long comments.
Mike thank you for the recommendation, I will listen to some of his music. When I got this Ozric album back in 93 it was so different and new to me so it was exciting to see it was reissued. Colorado can knock your socks off with scenery. I have a ton of footage in my phone to share
Congratulations Grandpa, Evelyn is such a nice name too, can't see any grand kids on my horizon for a good while yet. Good review of the brilliant CROWS album, my Dinked version is on blue vinyl but still sounds amazing. Not much love for them being shown yet in the comments, hoping they get some more recognition in the future, they've not released a bad album, their 2016 12" EP/LP is still one of my favourites but is hard and expensive to find. I don't know why but I've never ventured into the Smashing Pumpkins world, perhaps they were too big at the time - I never followed the crowd - but if a man who appreciates Crows recommends them 😉 then it's time to give them a go, it's not as if I need much prompting to buy more records! Not a Lions fan but want them to win it all this year, such an historical franchise needs it.
I saw and watched you videos with Crows but couldn’t comment. Everyone that I know who bought their last album loved it. This is another strong effort. Best thing I can tell you about the Pumpkins is stream their greatest hits. First LP is backed with great songs. I have what I need from them now I hope one of my grandkids decides to like music
Nice great outdoors footage grandpa Mike. So the Crows, not The Crows...got it 👍A bit Joy Division which is a good thing. Ozric Tenticles took me a while to realise it was upside down because of that trippy artwork. Sounds good. That 2nd Richard Hell is great. What's A Few Men was my intro to H&C. Listen to their song Talking To A Stranger and you won't consider them country rock. Punk funk weirdness & damn good. Saint Etienne's So Tough is a fun record. Gish & Siamese Dream were so good and then Billy Corgon thought he could sing and it got soooo bloated musically. I don't mind the song 1979 after those two but that's about it. Nice work Mike...Cheers Mike
lol Mike on Billy Corgan. Yeah Smashing Pumpkins had some more hits but I really find no need to look into them in further. Crows are great. This is my second album from them and they just tear it up. Definitely some Joy Divison happening in their music. Ozric Tentacles has put out 30 instrumental trippy albums. I’m probably the only one that has listened to them without any other types of stimulants lol. Hope your doing well Mike
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 30 albums!!! You would need stimulants to get through it.
Steve for 8 seconds I thought me or Jeff had turned you on to some noise
, not Noise Rock but some real pure noise. Nope, you went to a waterfall. That's cool
Lmao Shawn, you try so hard lol. Don’t give up on me yet
Hearty congratulations are in order for your new granddaughter 🎉. If you've been catching the ends of my videos you've known we now have one more thing in common besides 🍺 and music...an Evelyn in the fold. So happy for you Bud.
Isn’t it a special time Greg, I couldn’t be more excited. My grandson has been having fun wearing me out lol. Evelyn comes home today so I finally get to meet her, so excited
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 many special times ahead
I love that Ozric Tentacles album, definitely a classic! Hey, as a Smashing Pumpkins completist, you know you need Mellon Collie!! You could trade that Greatest Hits album in towards credit towards Mellon Collie. Or maybe as a completist, you need that. One thing I would recommend is on your pronunciation of the original bass player’s name. Congratulations on your new granddaughter!
My granddaughter is wonderful. Already spent time with her I have a newer album for Ozric but this is the one I really wanted to have. Get the colored lights going and crank it up
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 do you got some colored lights for the music room?
Good morning Steve! Crows sound interesting never heard of them. Ah the Pumpkins love their first two albums and some of the third one but lost interest after that
So far I’ve resisted the urge to buy Mellon Collie
Congrats on your new granddaughter!!
Take care Brian ☮️
So you have the same Pumpkins issue as I do Brian lol. Greatest Hits is the way to go though those first two really show a lot of creative energy. Crows, well worth checking out. The 2 albums I have from them are excelllent. Evelyn comes home today and I will get to meet her, I am so excited Brian
Hi Steve. So Tough has a beautiful style! Loved it! Corgan’s whining screaming voice immediately turned me off from TSP. Gish is a melancholy masterpiece. I just love that album. 30 albums is impressive. I’ve always found the word tentacles too easy to mispronounce 😂. Digging their album cover! Great instrumental sounds! Nice VCLT from Ron. Have a great week.
Smashing Pumpkins had such a hard sound at times but that is what caught my attention. Their later albums just didn’t do it for me. Ozric Tentacles is such a spacey sound, I only need a couple of albums from them, I got the one I really needed Thanks for dropping by Steve. If you head to Toas let me know If I can make a trip there I will
Not much in my wheelhouse today, i'm afraid, Professor, but that's cool, as always - I love listening to what you have to say about each band, even if they're not my cup of tea. Did you know Billy Corgan has a side gig these days as the owner of NWA Wrestling? I'm still convinced the only reason they got back together was so he could make enough money to continue to prop his wrestling promotion up, heh heh. Congrats on the new granddaughter - is she Aiden's sister or his cousin? Either way, I'm sure you'll have fun with both of them. Have a great week, sir!
I did not know that about Corgan. Of all things to invest in he chose wrestling. Oh a boy and his money. I got to meet Evie yesterday. I could not be more excited TC
The Crows sound similar to Fountaines DC. With some smoother vocals.
Never heard of Ozric Tentacles, but that sample sounds cool.
You would probably dig Ozric T, great spacey trippy music. People talk a lot about Fountaines DC but I don’t know much about them Eric. I need to listen to some of their music
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 check out their first album. The Song “ Boys In A Better Land”. Brilliant song.
I used to have an Ozric Tentacles CD, and now I am wondering what happened to it. Jr. Gone Wild is a Canadian band I haven't thought about in years. Smashing Pumpkins! I have nothing from them on vinyl, which is odd.
Weird thing about Pumpkin albums is that they really jump up in price. I think I now have what I need. Sounds like famous last words haha
Glad you didn’t say Saint Etienne was trip hop again 🤣😹
Sometimes or often shall we say words come pouring out of my mouth lol
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 words are overrated
