Thru the Eyes of Ruby

"Thru the Eyes of Ruby" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. The final recording reportedly contains as many as 70 guitar tracks.Thomas, Richard. "Signal to Noise: The Sonic Diary of the Smashing Pumpkins". EQ Magazine. October 2008. Although it is not widely known, it is a favorite song of some die-hard Pumpkins fans, and is a considered to be a song that exemplifies all the styles of music that the Pumpkins played leading up to that point.
The last ~40 seconds of the song is the same as the "Nighttime version 1" variant of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" (the song), as featured on the 2012 reissue. Other versions available on the deluxe reissue include "Take 7" (slower, instrumental), a solo acoustic version, and "Pit mix 3" which is comprised solely of guitar feedback which may have been used for overdubbing.
In 2012, the song ranked at #10 in Rolling Stone's reader's poll of the best Smashing Pumpkins songs.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/readers-poll-the-best-smashing-pumpkins-songs-13645/10-thru-the-eyes-of-ruby-213071/
== Style ==
The song is considered a prime example of a progressive rock song from the Smashing Pumpkins. The song varies in dynamics often, starting off with a slow build-up which leads into a heavy intro riff. From there, the song then switches off between quiet and loud sections, while contnually introducting new sections of the song. At the end, the song gives way to the "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" theme with acoustic guitar playing the chords, and a clean electric guitar playing the melody.
== Equipment ==
Corgan has stated he used his 1984 Marshall JCM 800 100-watt amp for the Mellon Collie session of "Thru the Eyes of Ruby", and the gain is especially noticeable at the 0:24 mark of the recording.
== Live ==
"Ruby" was played extensively in the Infinite Sadness tour, but without the quiet outro. Instead, the band built up to a barrage of power chords and octave climbs. Towards the end of the tour, the band added a reprise of the opening guitar riff to the very end of the song. It made some appearances in the Adore tour, but under a new format. The quiet guitar riff that takes up the first few minutes of the normal song is primarily used, and the song does feature the loud/soft dynamics from the original. "Ruby" was also played at the final Metro show in Chicago. When the song returned to the setlist in the The Other Side of the Kaleidyscope tour, the ending gradually transitioned into an instrumental version of "I Am One".

Tinted Windows

Tinted Windows were an American rock supergroup formed by guitarist James Iha of The Smashing Pumpkins, singer Taylor Hanson of Hanson, Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne and Ivy, and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. Josh Lattanzi often performed with the band as the second guitarist.
==Career==
The first performance by the band was on March 18, 2009 at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band made their South by Southwest debut on March 20, 2009 at the Levi/Fader Fort, followed by a set at the Pangea Lounge. The band also played at The Bamboozle in New Jersey on May 3, 2009.
On February 19, 2009, it was announced that the band signed with S-Curve Records, the label best known for releasing such acts as Joss Stone, Fountains of Wayne and Tom Jones. On April 21, 2009, it was confirmed that their self-titled album Tinted Windows had been released on that label.
On February 24, the band digitally released their debut single "Kind Of A Girl" alongside a promotional video, with a segment from a fictional music show Rock After Dark. They performed the song on Late Show with David Letterman on April 21. They performed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on April 24.
Tinted Windows played concerts in the U.S. in June, August, and September 2009, and in Japan in January 2010.
The band's Facebook page has not had a post since December 6, 2009. And while the band initially appeared on their record label S-Curve Records' website, they were removed from the artist lineup sometime between June 6 and August 8, 2011.
But in 2014, band member Taylor Hanson mentioned the band to the press a number of times. In an interview published October 9, 2014, with Coup De Main Magazine, Hanson stated that the band was still together and there was "some process going on now to make a new album."
In 2020, former member Adam Schlesinger died of complications related to COVID-19. The remaining members reunited on May 5, 2021 for the Adam Schlesinger – A Music Celebration live stream tribute event in his honor.

Tinted Windows (album)

Tinted Windows is the eponymous debut album of James Iha's super group, Tinted Windows. The album was recorded at Stratosphere Sound Studios in New York, which Adam Schlesinger and Iha co-owned with Ivy's Andy Chase. The album was co-produced by both Iha and Schlesinger. Two songs are Iha originals: "Back With You" and "Cha Cha".
The band signed to S-Curve Records and the album was released on April 21, 2009. An appearance of the band on Late Show with David Letterman occurred on the eve of the release. The album debuted at number 59 on the Billboard 200.
==Critical reception==
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the band members' combined musicianship for complementing each other and being reminiscent of 60s-70s pop-rock, singling out Taylor Hanson's vocal work as being a highlight, concluding that "Of all the guys here, he is the only one to never have performed in a guitar-heavy rock & roll band, and his thrill to be singing these sweet melodies over these big, fuzzy guitars can be infectious." Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly also commended the band's musicianship for being equal and having cohesion throughout the album, concluding that "It’s all hook-riddled, fast, and ephemeral, and if you don’t love it, your tie’s too wide." Noel Murray of The A.V. Club said that despite Hanson's voice lacking grit and the material being transparent, he praised the rest of the band for crafting strong production and hook-filled lyrics, concluding that "Whatever the intended (or actual) audience, songs as catchy and spirited as “Messing With My Head” and “Without Love” are timelessly fun." Mikael Wood, writing for Spin, said that "these bouncy, hook-crammed power-pop jams are safe and catchy enough for Jo Bros fans and Stacy’s mom alike."

Title of Record

Title of Record is the second studio album by American rock band Filter. Former Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky provided backing vocals on the track "Cancer" and is rumored to have also sang on "Take a Picture". Eric Remschneider, who had also contributed to The Smashing Pumpkins songs "Disarm", "Soma" and "The Bells", was also brought in to play cello on the opening track "Sand", "Take a Picture" and closing track "Miss Blue".
In May 2016 in an interview with Loudwire, Filter lead singer Richard Patrick spoke of a romantic relationship he had with Wretzky, saying she was the subject of a song he wrote called "Miss Blue", also on Title of Record. Wretzky and Patrick had known each other since at least 1996, when Filter opened up for The Smashing Pumpkins during the Infinite Sadness tour.
Title of Record was a critical and commercial success upon its release, peaking at number 30 on the US Billboard 200. It had sold over 800,000 copies by 2001 and was later certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over one million copies. "Take a Picture" became the band's most successful single, peaking within the top 20 of nine international charts, including the Billboard Hot 100. The album was featured as number 8 on Loudwire's list of "15 Best Hard Rock Albums of 1999".

To Forgive

"To Forgive" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It is a slow song written by Billy Corgan about his childhood. It is a reference to the themes of teenage angst and depression. The title may be a play on the idiom "forgive and forget", while the lyrics describe Billy Corgan forgiving himself for past regrets.
Unlike many other songs on the album, "To Forgive" doesn't feature multi-layered guitar production, and features only drums, bass, one live clean electric guitar and an e-bow track by James Iha, as well as layers of organ and Mellotron strings. Reportedly the guitar was recorded in one live take.Thomas, Richard. "Signal to Noise: The Sonic Diary of the Smashing Pumpkins". EQ Magazine. October 2008.
== Equipment ==
In a 2016 interview with Tape-Op, Corgan said he used a Fender Bassman amp on "To Forgive". It occasionally malfunctioned, producing a sound "like a storm coming" which at points can be heard in the recording.

To Sheila

"To Sheila" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' fourth studio album, Adore. It was released again as a promotional single in 1999. The song features backing vocals by Dennis and Jimmy Flemion of The Frogs, who were close friends with The Smashing Pumpkins.
Billy Corgan performed it as a solo artist at the memorial service for his friend Lisa Marie Presley on January 22, 2023. This likely is what caused the song to chart at #3 and #4 on the Billboard LyricFind Global and U.S. charts, respectively, in early February 2023.
== Background ==
The song was written while the band was on tour in Poland. Billy Corgan has said the lyrics came to him as they were driving down a country road in their van. He later wrote the music around the lyrics. He also explained that the song was not written about a real person:
On the Thirty-Three podcast, Corgan detailed how terrifying it was to sing the song in the studio. On previous albums, there was pressure from the producers to record many vocal takes, but on this track – the first one recorded for Adore – the acoustic guitar and vocals were recorded live in a single take.

Tommy Lee

Thomas Lee Bass (born October 3, 1962) is a musician most famous as the founding member and drummer of Mötley Crüe. In 2014, he was a guest drummer for The Smashing Pumpkins for their Monuments to an Elegy album. The idea to enlist Lee came from Jeff Schroeder. During the May 2014 studio sessions, Corgan told Schroeder "we really need to get someone like Tommy to play on this song" (which song is unclear), and Schroeder simply replied “well, why don’t we reach out to him?”Billy Corgan, "Mirrors Within Mirrors, While Tom-Tomming With Hammers", Smashing Pumpkins Nexus, May 8, 2019

The Cutaway wrote that Treasure offers a "pleasant sense of urgency" with its "dark overtures, heavy hooks, and apocalyptic dreamscapes," adding that "Schroeder and Song’s transcendent songwriting and determination to transform their musical visions from fantasy to hyperreality."
== Background ==
Jeff Schroeder met Mindy Song through a mutual friend in 2015. They decided to convene in a Chicago studio to "see where things might go". The session was a success, and the duo relocated to their hometown of Los Angeles to record Treasure with producer Josiah Mazzasch.

Troublizing

Troublizing is a solo album by Ric Ocasek. Billy Corgan wrote, produced and co-sung the song "Asia Minor", and performed and/or produced several other songs on the album. Former Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur also plays bass and sings on most of the album, as does Adore-era drummer Matt Walker, though neither performed on "Asia Minor".
== Background ==
Ric Ocasek was the frontman for the rock band The Cars, and also worked as a producer for Weezer, Nada Surf, and No Doubt. Corgan and Ocasek's friendship began after they met at a gig at New York's Roseland Ballroom in 1996. Ocasek eventually approached Corgan about a collaboration. "I love his music. I think he's just such a musical genius, and I love his perspective on arrangements," he told Rolling Stone. They convened at Electric Lady Studios in New York to record Troublizing, accompanied by former Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur and Adore-era drummer Matt Walker.
On September 15, 2019, Ocasek died of natural causes at the age of 75. Corgan wrote a tribute in an Instagram post, "Devastated to hear of the passing on this man, Ric Ocasek … It has brightened my spirit to see how many have posted about Ric, praising his originality, flair, and brilliance. I was blessed to have known him, through friendship and work (his solo album Troubilizing was one I produced)."
== Critical reception ==
AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Troublizing Ocasek's "best solo album since This Side of Paradise," adding that Corgan's production gave the album a heavier sound that relied on guitars. The A.V. Club called it "a vital album that recalls the driving rock of Ocasek's much-loved former group while sounding fresher than many acts currently being passed off as cutting-edge."
