Luna

"Luna" is the closing track from The Smashing Pumpkins' second studio album, Siamese Dream.
== Background ==
Billy Corgan wrote "Luna" in a hotel room in London, following a verbal fight with his ex-partner. The Smashing Pumpkins had a big gig that night, and Corgan was so upset he didn't want to perform. For the first time ever, he used meditation as a means to deal with his emotions, lending him the ability to "talk [himself] off a ledge." The song "Luna" is the response to this experience, describing his unrequited love. Corgan called it a "a beautiful song of fruition, forgiveness and acceptance".

MCIS Demos II

MCIS Demos II is a bootleg album of The Smashing Pumpkins that was the second set of Mellon Collie-era demos to circulate, following MCIS Demos I. It first appeared on eBay in March 2000. Billy Corgan was at one point presented with a copy, and he said he had lost his, and that the track listing suggests it was something he put together for the band to practice to, or for Flood to listen to.
The mixes here are not all complete by comparison to officially released versions, and some offer interesting differences. There are two takes on "Zero", one with a slower tempo and with notably different guitar work. "Tonight, Tonight" is much more raw than the studio version, while "Love" exemplifies the original riff action that's covered with flangers on Mellon Collie. Two songs from "Pastichio Medley" made their first appearance in full on this bootleg: "So Very Sad About Us" and "Depresso".
All songs are instrumental with exception of "Methusela", "Here Is No Why" and "Beautiful".

"Have Love Will Travel" was listed as "Unknown Instrumental", until it was formally given a name on the The Aeroplane Flies High 2013 deluxe reissue.

MCIS Demos III

MCIS Demos III (also known as Demos for D'arcy) is a bootleg album of The Smashing Pumpkins that was the third set of Mellon Collie-era demos to circulate. However all tracks except "Feelium", "God" and "Marquis in Spades" are also on MCIS Demos I. "God" is a slower, cleaner arrangement than what's on MCIS Demos II and the "Zero" single. "Marquis in Spades" is a different version with different lyrics. This bootleg is the first full appearance of "Feelium", which was featured in "Pastichio Medley".

Machina/The Machines of God (premaster)

Machina/The Machines of God (premaster) is the so-called "premaster" mix of the Machina/The Machines of God album. It had an alternate version of "The Sacred and Profane" with two bars of electronic drum beat at the beginning of the song, electric guitar instead of acoustic in "Age of Innocence", "The Crying Tree of Mercury" titled "The Mercury Tree", and a different, more lo-fi mix overall. It was likely intended as a promotional release for record stores to play.
== Track listing ==
=== Notes ===
* While copies had the same track ordering as the official release, some had peculiar track numbering in the insert, starting with track 16 instead of 1.
* "The Sacred and Profane" is about 10 seconds shorter than the final Machina mix and contains a different drum intro.
* "The Crying Tree of Mercury" is listed as "The Mercury Tree".
* "Age of Innocence" is about 11 seconds longer than the final Machina mix and has electric guitar instead of acoustic.

Madame ZuZu's

Madame ZuZu's Emporium is Billy Corgan and his wife Chloe Mendel Corgan's own tea shop and largely vegan restaurant which also serves as an art studio and music venue. It is located in Highland Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. It originally opened on September 13, 2012 at a different location, and was closed in March 2018 after being "forced to move". On September 5, 2020, Madame Zuzu's reopened with a bigger space and with a largely gluten-free, plant-based menu to compliment its teas.
At ZuZu's 2.0 one year anniversary event, a new clothing line was launched with the tagline "Sorrow Is The Family Business". This originated from a tongue in cheek line Corgan said in an interview, and Mendel adopted it for ZuZu's.Billy Corgan. IGTV post from September 15, 2021

March-April 2014 – Pumpkinland II

The March-April 2014 Pumpkinland II sessions were the pre-production recording sessions for Monuments to an Elegy. The band, now consisting of solely Billy Corgan and Jeff Schroeder, plow through 70-80 songs in consideration for the album, focusing on the 30 or so best songs. Additional work arranging and demoing those 30 songs is done at this time, further whittling the list down to the final nine Monuments album tracks, as well as eight "roll-over" B-list songs ("Burnt Orange Black", "Cardinal Rule", "Full Sail", "Overjoyed", "Solara", "Toodle-Loo", "I Said" and "Pretty Blue"). Those B-list tracks would later be the basis of the abandoned sister-album to Monuments, Day For Night.
The sessions were accommodated by almost daily updates from Billy Corgan through the SP Nexus website (compiled below).
