Fall-Winter 1994 – Sadlands

The Fall-Winter 1994 studio sessions at Sadlands (Billy Corgan's house) is where many Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness demos were first tracked. Upon completion of the Siamese Dream tour, Corgan began composing a new set of songs for the follow-up album, and recorded both solo acoustic and multi-tracked electric demos on his 8-track at his home. The album version of "Stumbleine" was taken from these tapes, as well as several of the "Tonight, Tonight" B-sides. While most of these demos were featured as bonus material on the 2012 Mellon Collie remaster box set, some remained unreleased and available on bootlegs Billy's Home Demos (which leaked in 1996) and MCIS Demos II (which leaked in 2000). An electric demo of "God" leaked on the MCIS Demos III demos bootleg.
The Smashing Pumpkins believe "celebrity breeds idiocy," and have learned to trust no one. "People can be real assholes," D'arcy hisses, brimming with venom. "Like the guy who stole those tapes from me - he was supposed to be my friend, well, my sister's boyfriend, actually. And he pretended like he was nice." Jimmy Chamberlin jokingly terms the situation "Pumpkingate," but adds that it was no laughing matter. "D'arcy's sister's boyfriend stole a bunch of our demo tapes from her house and sold them before the record was done. It was a huge soap opera - he sold 'em on the Internet, and it was pretty sophisticated." "These kids were not just kids," D'arcy continues. "They were like big-time, man - they were dealing drugs, selling guns, robbing people's houses, and apparently everybody knew but us. And when I find 'em..."Tom Lanham, "28 Reasons Why The Smashing Pumpkins Are Cooler Than a Bomb-Pop..." CMJ, December 1995

"Fireflies" is the eighth track from Act III of the The Smashing Pumpkins' 2023 rock opera, ATUM. Billy Corgan has said it is one of his favorite songs off of the album. Engineer Howard Willing even questioned why it wasn't considered as a single, to which Corgan gave the justification that most fans expect guitar music from The Smashing Pumpkins, though he agreed the song is single-worthy.

Flood

Mark Ellis (born 16 August 1960), known by his professional pseudonym Flood, is a British record producer and audio engineer who worked with The Smashing Pumpkins from 1995 through the 2000 breakup. Other major acts Flood has worked with include New Order, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
In 1995, Flood co-produced the diamond-selling Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness with longtime collaborator Alan Moulder. In 1997, he assisted Billy Corgan and Brad Wood on 1998's Adore., and then co-produced Machina/The Machines of God with Billy Corgan in 2000.
==Production style==
Billy Corgan, who worked with Flood on three albums, said in a Guitar Center interview, "Flood's incredible. Flood is a tremendous producer. Flood is very masterful with the sonics, but where he really shines is he's a great idea person. And I don't mean like he tells you, "Oh, put this chorus here." It's more like he can see an ambiance of the song that you don't necessarily see and he would really fight with us – not negative a fight, just he would really kind of push us to say there's another vibe here that you can get to.""Guitar Center Interviews Billy Corgan "
==Pseudonym==
According to producer Mark Freegard, Ellis' pseudonym, "Flood," was given to him by producer Chris Tsangarides during Ellis' early days at Morgan Studios and while The Cure was there recording. As a young studio runner, Ellis was responsible for responding to numerous requests from the recording artists and staff for tea and bacon sandwiches. Ellis kept up with the numerous requests for tea while the other runner remained largely unavailable, leading to Tsangarides nicknaming them "Flood" and "Drought," respectively.

For the Masses

For the Masses is a 1998 tribute album to Depeche Mode. The opening track is The Smashing Pumpkins cover of "Never Let Me Down Again", which was originally released as a B-side on the "Rocket" single. Other artists featured include The Cure, GusGus, Deftones, Dishwalla, and Rammstein, among others.
The album charted in America and reached the Top 20 in Germany, making it the most successful Depeche Mode tribute album of all time. The album title is taken from Depeche Mode's 1987 album Music for the Masses.
Following the release of the compilation, Billy Corgan joined Depeche Mode to perform "Never Let Me Down Again" at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show on December 12, 1998.
== Critical reception ==
The compilation received mixed reviews. AllMusic wrote that Depeche Mode songs are "difficult to cover without replicating the original arrangements" and that only a few bands succeeded in making the songs their own, singling out The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, GusGus, and Rammstein.
NME similarly states that this tribute album is "not about investigating Depeche Mode's legacy, but massaging swollen egos". The Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure are commended for attempting something different while the rest of the entries fail in adding their own twist to the songs and are hoping for "some controversy-free exposure".

Fotheringay

"Fotheringay" is an unknown song by The Smashing Pumpkins. It appeared on at least five setlists for early shows of 2015's In Plainsong tour, scheduled to be played before "Cardinal Rule" during the final encore. However the song was never actually performed, and on some dates "Cardinal Rule" wasn't either. The setlists sometimes had the annotation "maybe" around the closing songs, suggesting they may have been skipped due time constraints with the venue.
"Fotheringay" is the name of a song by a British folk band called Fairport Convention. The song served as the B-side to their single covering Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It with Mine". Both songs appeared on Fairport's 1969 album, What We Did on Our Holidays.https://www.allmusic.com/album/what-we-did-on-our-holidays-mw0000309532 The following year, songwriter Sandy Denny formed a short-lived folk rock band called Fotheringay. They disbanded in 1971. Sandy died six years later. Curiously, surviving members reunited to play a series of shows in June 2015, overlapping exactly with the same dates the song appeared on The Smashing Pumpkins' In Plainsong setlists.https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=Fotheringay Fotheringay's reunion shows took place in the U.K. while the Pumpkins toured America. Thus, The Smashing Pumpkins version of "Fotheringay" may be a cover of the original by Fairport, possibly also nodding to Bob Dylan whom is known to have had an influence on Corgan.https://www.howardstern.com/news/2020/12/01/billy-corgan-on-meeting-his-rock-heroes-being-a-family-man-and-the-time-kathie-lee-hit-on-him/

Freak

"Freak" (also titled as "Freak U.S.A.") is the second single from The Smashing Pumpkins' scrapped 44-song project, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, and the first song released for the second accompanying EP The Solstice Bare. Like all other songs on the EP, "Freak" was released as a free download on their official website. The song was first played live on July 24, 2009, at the first Spirits in the Sky show in memoriam of Sky Saxon. It was a staple at live shows throughout their 2010 tours.
==Critical reception==
Spin praised the song, noting that "the catchy chorus of bright guitars and cheerful na na na na nas recall his short-lived pop-rock side-project Zwan; the heavy, distorted bass lines revisit the goth-rock moments of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness; and his lyrics are all early-Pumpkins." PopMatters's reviewed that "Freak" "largely explores and builds on The Smashing Pumpkins’ earlier, mid-1990s sound while also very subtly hinting at the newly pointed and cultish, lysergic musical atmosphere."

Fuck You

"Fuck You" (or "An Ode to No One", as listed on original packaging) is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It is often cited as a fan favorite. The song is written by Billy Corgan and appears to be about his frustration with the unpleasant things in life (a messy relationship for example) and the desire to "disconnect" from it all and shut out the world. The song is one of the heavier songs on the first half of the album along with the singles "Zero" and "Bullet with Butterfly Wings".
A live version of the song was officially released on the Greatest Hits Video Collection, which was recorded at their last show before the 2000 breakup.
== Background ==
In a Rolling Stone interview, Corgan was asked who "you" was in "Fuck You". He replied "The basic thing is just fuck everybody. It's that feeling where no one understands: 'Who the fuck are my friends? Fuck you. Fuck everybody. Fuck everything.'"
The original title was "Fuck You". Realizing this could be a problem on the release, Corgan changed it to "Fuck You (An Ode to No One)" on the initial submission to the record label, leaving "An Ode to No One" as an alternative title should the original one become a bigger problem or if they wanted to release it as a single.
== Studio recording ==
In a 2016 interview with Tape-Op, Corgan said the recording of the rhythm guitar tracks was the first time he worked with co-producer Alan Moulder, while Flood had left town. In the the first rhythm track, Corgan pulled on the neck of the guitar at the end. Consistent with how he always does double-tracking, he followed with an additional track without listening to the original. At the end of the second track, he pulled the neck again, looked to Moulder saying "Okay, watch this." Corgan and Moulder listened for discrepancies when both tracks were played backed together (without the drums) Moulder was in disbelief as to how Billy did the neck pull out of time, no less at exactly the same moment. "It's kind of a tribute to Alan, really, 'cause I did it to freak him out. I've double-tracked for so long now that I know all of my little idiosyncrasies. I knew from the 'feel' in my body when to do the pull."
When particularly difficult songs like "Fuck You (An Ode to No One)" were played, Flood would have the band practice the song every day, first thing in the morning. Each workday included an hour of band practice, followed by two or three recorded takes of "Fuck You".
