Delusions of Candor

"Delusions of Candor" is a song by Starchildren, a side project of The Smashing Pumpkins member Billy Corgan. It is the only original song officially released under the Starchildren name, and features drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and former Smashing Pumpkins tour manager Bob English on bass.
The song received a limited release of 1000 white vinyl records and 5000 black vinyl records. The record was a split 7" featuring Starchildren on one side, and "Chante des chansons sur les filles! (Songs About Girls)" by the band Catherine on the reverse.
The cover of the record states "Delusions of Candor" was composed by "Mr. Lemon" and produced by "Johnny Goat," both pseudonyms used by Billy Corgan.
== Background ==
As Corgan recalled on the Thirty-Three podcast, the song was at the request of TVT Records who wanted to put out an original Corgan song. The writing and recording happened one night when he was drinking a lot of tequila. Corgan wrote the song "on the spot" and considered it "a complete mess, but kind of fun."

Do You Hear What I Hear?

"Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a 1962 song written by Gloria Shayne with lyrics by Noël Regney, made famous as a Christmas song by Bing Crosby. Billy Corgan covered it during the Madame ZuZu's Christmas Show on December 18, 2021.
The songwriters Shayne and Regney, who were married at the time, wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Regney had been invited by a record producer to write a Christmas song, but he was hesitant due to the commercialism of Christmas. The song has sold tens of millions of copies and has been covered by hundreds of artists. The song was first recorded for Harry Simeone Chorale before Bing Crosby made it a Christmas hit.

Drown

"Drown" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins from the soundtrack to the 1992 Cameron Crowe film, Singles.
==Release==
The song debuted during the Gish tour and was written not long after that record was released. The first take of the song was recorded at Waterfront Studios, which belongs to Lenny Kravitz, who was also signed to Virgin Records. The song became a moderate radio hit in mid-1992 and gave the band significant exposure just before work commenced on Siamese Dream.
"Drown" was to be released as a commercial single, but, as Billy Corgan explained,
Nonetheless, the song was given a promotional single, and became their highest-charting single at the time, peaking at number 24 on the U.S. Alternative Songs chart.
The song has also been released publicly as an early demo through SPRC, which is 8:58 in length.
===Greatest hits release===
The song was also released on the band's official greatest hits compilation Rotten Apples in 2001, though the length of the song was reduced from 8:17 to 4:30, cutting off the extended feedback and E-Bow solo at the end. "Drown" was considered for Pisces Iscariot, but Corgan decided against it.
===Gish (2011 reissue)===
The complete version of "Drown" was included with an alternate guitar solo on the bonus CD in the 2011 Reissue of Gish.

Drum + Fife

"Drum + Fife" is the third single from The Smashing Pumpkins' ninth studio album Monuments to an Elegy. The track was premiered through NME on November 21, 2014.
==Background and recording==
In an interview with the NME, Billy Corgan said "'Drum + Fife' was originally a folk song. We really had a problem getting it off its almost dour Irish balladeer aspect. And I must give a lot of credit to Tommy Lee, because he's the one who turned the corner. Without saying it he was reacting in a way that told me he thought it was a bit boring. Tommy loves energy. Tommy wants to feel excitement. So he's playing the song and he's like 'I know this is a good song but it's just not working.' And he said to me 'Do you mind if I tinker around with it?' And so he got on the computer and used his experience in dance music and kind of turned the corner and found some loops and some beats and suddenly I was like...'wow'. It's almost like mid 80s new wave or something and it reminded me a little bit of early U2 or Big Country. The open strut made the Irish ballad part of the song come alive and have more of a expansive quality and from there on it got a lot easier."
The cover art shows a young Billy Corgan playing a drum, believed to aged 13 months based on the date of the photo. However, the UK single apparently states "And yes, that is Billy Corgan on the cover! Aged 5…".
==Reception==
The song was received positively. Consequence of Sound described it as "a melodic, yet rallying rocker", and went on to describe Corgan's vocals as "tenacious". Radio.com stated "Our latest taste is track 'Drum + Fife', a mid-tempo, melodic rock song, structured and accessible like all their best work. Essentially, the Smashing Pumpkins are not still in their experimental period. They are back to crowd-pleasing—and many are, appropriately, pleased."
== Music video ==
The music video was directed by Jimmy Alhander and Robin Antiga, and produced by Good Company. It takes place in a rocky desert, with a group of boys carelessly playing a drum, before being interrupted by exploding mines. This serves as a metaphor to post-traumatic stress disorder and the after-effects of war. "I asked, albeit in an allegorical way, for the video to represent what our returning soldiers are going through with PTSD, and I feel that the directors [Ahlander/Antiga] captured that with poignancy", Corgan said. "I couldn't be more proud of the message we’re sending that we care what happens to those that are out there hurting."
The directors said in a statement, "Our aim was to create a film which was poetic and yet made a very direct statement about war, conflict and how we acclimatize ourselves from an early age to this course of action".

Early 1989 Demos

Early 1989 Demos is a commercial bootleg album. An identical bootleg called Sounds Of Turnips was released the year prior under a different label. The latter release doesn't mention the band anywhere in the packaging.
== Track listing ==
The four "spoken" tracks are in Spanish, with English translations as follows:
* Spoken #1: I always wonder, who am I? Why do I do it? I don't know. It's because there's no other way. Sometimes I ask God and he answers. The simple answer for simple questions. That's how I see God. As a question.
* Spoken #2: My sacred heart. I speak of my heart as if it were an entity seperate from me. I think the same thing about pain. It's like an evil spirit outside of me that's always with me. The pain that I feel is like a weight that guides me. There's no way to destroy it. It's my eternal opera.
* Spoken #3: I want to triumph over you. I want respect. I want it all. God will help me to help myself. I don't know. Dreams and wishes become reality. Peace and love for humanity.
* Spoken #4: The surreal and suspect dream -- I want to clearly remember it, but I can't. The dream lives in me. My desires control me. My thoughts follow. What is it that stops me from killing, from thinking, from recognizing my destiny? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Early 1989 – Schwa Productions

The Early 1989 Schwa Productions sessions were for the first demo tape, aptly titled The Smashing Pumpkins. Also included on the tape was a live version of "She" and a remixed version of "Sun" from the previous Ignoffo sessions. A reproduction of the tape was included in the 2012 Pisces Iscariot remaster. An alternate mix of "Jennifer Ever" featuring just guitar and vocals was found on a bootleg mixtape that at once belonged to Mark Ignoffo (hence the name of the bootleg is The Ignoffo Tape).
Recordings at Schwa Productions were done on an 8-track reel-to-reel over the course of three days (which may not have been consecutive), at the rate of $20 an hour. All band members were present and recorded their own instruments, except for "Nothing and Everything" which did not feature guitar from James Iha. The master reels have apparently been lost, as they are no longer in the band's possession. Consequently, the release on the 2012 Pisces Iscariot reissue was remastered from an original demo cassette.

Earphoria

Earphoria is a live album by The Smashing Pumpkins. It is the soundtrack of the band's Vieuphoria video. While the video has been widely available since its initial release, the CD was initially released as a limited number (under 1000) of promo copies in 1994, and was subsequently heavily bootlegged.Dahlen, Chris. "Smashing Pumpkins: Earphoria: Pitchfork Record Review ". 2002–12–12. Accessed on 2007–12–30. In 2002, Vieuphoria was reissued on DVD and Earphoria finally earned a commercial release.
The CD contains the audio for all the performances in Vieuphoria, and includes extended versions of the music used in the video interludes. An exception is the performance of "Silverfuck" – Earphoria includes the tease of "Over the Rainbow" while Vieuphoria edits it out, possibly owing to prohibitive licensing costs.
== Critical reception ==
The compilation was well-received by critics. "While a live document of the Pumpkins' farewell tour would have been very palatable," opined Classic Rock, "this mix-and-match collection of (mainly) live material from the full breadth of their career is far more imaginative. It's also vastly superior to their previous odds-and-sods compilation Pisces Iscariot."
AllMusic wrote "it's no wonder that the Smashing Pumpkins transcended every genre and pigeonhole they were shown, cruising past their peers with reinvention and pluck and forever leading where others could only dream of following. And it's discs like this one that really drive the point home."
