Knights of Malta

"Knights of Malta" is the third single by The Smashing Pumpkins from their 2018 studio album, Shiny and Oh So Bright - Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun. The song differed from other Shiny Vol. 1 and much of previous Smashing Pumpkins material in that it featured a gospel-infused choir along with catchy pop sensibilities. Both Q magazine and AllMusic listed "Knights of Malta" as one of the standout tracks on the album.
Although released to digital stores on November 9, 2018,https://www.discogs.com/release/12785242-The-Smashing-Pumpkins-Knights-Of-Malta the song was first shared secretly on November 7, 2018. On the band's Instagram account, two photos were posted containing a lyric from the song. When the Instagram "Slumber" filter was applied to the photos, a hidden message was revealed. The first read "www.knightsof" and the second read "malta.live". Combined, it formed the URL of a site where the song could be heard via an embedded private YouTube video.https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp49sOmHLdD/https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5CWWNnSo0/
== Song title ==
The song title likely is a reference the actual "Knights of Malta" – a modern Catholic lay religious order. The Knights Templar, affiliated with Freemasonry, contains several degrees of Order, one of which is Knights of Malta. This order puts emphasis on morality, and is based on the teachings of the Order of St. John and the battles they experienced in the Medieval times.

Landslide

"Landslide" is an acoustic arrangement of the Stevie Nicks song that The Smashing Pumpkins covered on the Pisces Iscariot compilation. It was was first featured as the B-side to their 1994 single "Disarm".
The group's arrangement went on to be one of the rock band's most-beloved tracks and even had the approval of Nicks herself. As she told fans during a 1998 online chat with SonicNet, "There's nothing more pleasing to a songwriter than [someone else] doing one of their songs. ['Landslide'] also led me to being friends with Billy [Corgan] and the possibility that we'll work together," she said of the Smashing Pumpkins frontman. "Over this song, there's been this incredible connection ... he reached out ... I believe that my poetry is really meant for everyone, no matter what age."
The new version was a hit, making it to the top three on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States that year and number 30 on the US Airplay charts. The song was also featured on the US version of their greatest hits album Rotten Apples. It was later used in the TV show Alias on season 1 in the episode Page 47.

The Late 1998 Sadlands sessions included acoustic demos for the Machina/The Machines of God album, recorded at Billy Corgan's home. The tape includes two lyrically different versions of "Blue Skies Bring Tears", one of which contains the lyrics from the arrangement of the song performed during The Arising! tour in April 1999. "Soot and Stars", "Satellites" and "Joy" were leaked on the Adore Demos II bootleg, but sound as if they date from this period, with "Soot and Stars" being slated for the Machina reissue.Billy Corgan.

Let It Come Down

Let It Come Down is James Iha's first solo album. It was released in 1998, during which Iha was still with The Smashing Pumpkins, before the release of Adore. AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Iha's handful of songwriting contributions to the Pumpkins suggested that he had talent, and he proves it here", and adding that it is "a refreshing little gem that begs for a sequel."
Iha took on a more acoustic country-ish sound reminiscent of the songs he contributed to the Pumpkins, notably shying away from the darker sound of Billy Corgan's songwriting. He had said that the quieter tone of the songs reflected the fact that many of them were written in his hotel rooms during The Smashing Pumpkins tours, and he didn't want to disturb other guests by playing too loudly.
"Be Strong Now" was released as a 4-track single, featuring the bonus studio tracks "Falling", "My Advice" and "Take Care", and as a 2-track promo single where the other track is a 12-second call out hook. Both versions of the "Be Strong Now" single feature the same cover. There is also an extended promo version of the single called "Be Strong Now (With Intro)" lasting 3:35. Additionally, the song "Jealousy" was released as a promo single, without any B-sides.
The album was remastered and re-issued in February 2012 with the three tracks previously released as b-sides added as bonus tracks. In November 2020 the album saw a vinyl reissue in Japan.

Lightning Strikes

"Lightning Strikes" is a song from the third volume of Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, released digitally on March 18, 2011. It was first performed during the July 9, 2010 soundcheck, under the working title "Zen Baby". In a Twitter update, Billy Corgan said the song is dedicated to Mark Tulin, who died the previous February, and "to all our great fans in Japan" suffering from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
The song as well as "Owata" were the first songs recorded with newly recruited bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne. Guitarist Jeff Schroeder told MusicRadar, "Oddly enough, it took what seemed to be a crazy-long time to do two songs. When you're working piecemeal, you can lose focus on the big picture. So doing Oceania was more in line from what I grew up with. I'm an album guy."

It documents the Mellon Collie record release show, which was broadcasted live at the Riviera Theater in Chicago on October 23, 1995. It was released through Delabel, which was the French division of Hut Records. The CD was packaged as a companion piece with some French pressings of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

The concert was held at the Riviera Theater in Chicago, originally part of a live FM broadcast across the United States to most alternative rock stations of the time, to promote Mellon Collie which was released the following day. A power failure occurred during the beginning of "Zero", the third song played, forcing the band to stop. After a brief delay, the band retook the stage and restarted the song, continuing into the rest of the set.

The exact release date and label information are unknown. The vinyl itself reads "Promo Use Only - Not For Resale", and with a 1.5 inch center hole commonly used on vinyl for jukeboxes.

This was the first installment of the archival series.https://www.instagram.com/p/CPe7H3HJD1x/ It shipped as a purple swirled double LP on 180 gram vinyl, with limited quantities signed by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin. The unreleased audio was sourced directly from the soundboard. The Blue Öyster Cult cover "Godzilla" was cut from the release, likely for licensing issues.
During the Gish-aversary event on May 29, 2021, Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin announced Live at Kawasaki (then known as Live in Japan – 1992), which later went on sale exclusively through the Madame ZuZu's website for 24 hours. Due to a worldwide shortage in vinyl manufacturing, units did not ship until late March 2022, making it the second archival release by shipment date, but first to be announced. Live at the Viper Room 1.15.98 was announced later and manufactured at a different plant and shipped in December 2021.https://www.instagram.com/p/CYeqBvopVtu/ In November 2023, the album became the first archive release to be offered on compact disc.
