Bye June

"Bye June" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins originally released on the 1989 demo album, Moon Demo. It later appeared on the Lull EP and on the 2012 reissue of Pisces Iscariot.
== Background ==
"Bye June" was recorded in Summer 1989 at Reel Time Studios. Those sessions were intended to produce the first Smashing Pumpkins album, but ultimately the band decided against it and instead produced demo albums.
Billy Corgan has said he didn't know what to do with "Bye June" in particular, because the band was supposed to play rock, and this song was unusually acoustic for them. He believes he recorded the song entirely by himself, given the rest of the band had become exhausted with the recording sessions, though admits he doesn't recall for certain.
Following the success of Gish, the record company asked The Smashing Pumpkins to put out more songs, and "Bye June" was chosen along with the Gish B-sides that appear on the Lull EP.
Over time, Corgan was surprised how much people liked the song, given he comparatively put very little effort into the composition and recording. Fans often asked him who June was, so Corgan made it into a running joke to continually include the name June in songs, such as "Mayonaise", "Where Boys Fear to Tread", "1979" and "In My Body". June was the name given to the female character whom Glass was in love with in the story of Glass and The Machines of God, and by association, later in the story of ATUM. In reality, June in "Bye June" does not refer to a real person.

C'mon

"C'mon" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins recorded during the pre-Gish sessions at Reel Time Studios, but was not released on any of the early demos. It's most prominent appearance was on the Mashed Potatoes bootleg, until a live version appeared on 2022's The Rubano Tapes Vol. 2. The song is an example of the psychedelic and hard-rock influences associated with early Pumpkins' material.

CBGB

CBGB was a New York City music club opened in 1973 by Hilly Kristal in Manhattan's East Village. The club was previously a biker bar and before that was a dive bar. The letters CBGB were for Country, BlueGrass, and Blues, Kristal's original vision, yet CBGB soon became a famed venue of punk rock and new wave bands like the Ramones, Television, Patti Smith Group, Blondie, and Talking Heads.
Around 2000, CBGB entered a protracted dispute over allegedly unpaid rent amounts until the landlord, Bowery Residents' Committee, sued in 2005 and lost the case, but a deal to renew CBGB's lease, expiring in 2006, failed. The club closed upon its final concert, played by Patti Smith, on October 15, 2006.Yahoo Music coverage of concert.

Candide

Candide Live at ZuZu's 2.8.2015 is a live improvisational synthesizer performance by Billy Corgan with selections from Voltaire's Candide read by Joseph Hudson (NWA and Resistance PRO wrestler who died in 2021). The single LP album was personally edited down by Corgan to roughly 45 minutes from the over six hour original performance, which took place on February 8, 2015 at the original Madame ZuZu's location.
Corgan used a Roland System-100M 182 analog modular synthesizer. On an August 16, 2023 live stream, Corgan also said he may have used a Eurorack in combination with a vintage Farfisa. In the same live stream, he said he had intended on doing a release performance but ran out of time rehearsing with The Smashing Pumpkins.

Cardinal Rule

"Cardinal Rule" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins that was recorded during the March-April 2014 – Pumpkinland II sessions and likely intended for Day For Night, which was the abandoned sister-album to Monuments to an Elegy. Ultimately it was never officially released along with many other songs from those sessions, though it was performed live a number of times in late 2015 and during the In Plainsong tour. Billy Corgan described it as a "gorgeous as a fingerpicking-type song, we started breaking apart the internal rhythms to be voiced on various 'things.'"Billy Corgan, SP Nexus, March 28, 2014

Catherine

Catherine was an alternative rock band from Chicago that was active from 1985 to 1998. They were signed to TVT Records. D'arcy Wretzky of The Smashing Pumpkins served as a second singer on the final album, Hot Saki and Bedtime Stories. She was also married to Catherine member Kerry Brown at the time.
Billy Corgan served as the producer for much of Catherine's work, including the Sparkle, Songs About Girls (the song "It's No Lie"), Chante Des Chanson Sur Les Filles (credited as "Johnny Goat"), and Sleepy.
==Breakup==
In 1997, Catherine toured the US and Europe, opening for bands like Garbage and the Lemonheads in the US, and playing several large festivals in Europe, including Reading (UK), Bizarre (Cologne), and Rocknacht (Leuven).
After their 1997 tour, the band began recording a new LP in the studio they built in a remodeled barn outside Watervliet, Michigan. Meanwhile, TVT Records would not return the band's phone calls. Opting out of their contract, Catherine was unable to secure a contract with another label. Although a total of 13 songs were written and recorded, none of the songs from those sessions were ever released, although at least one, "Flight 518" was re-recorded in a later project by Rew. The original "My Friend the Snake" sessions have only been heard by a few friends and fans of the band. Discouraged by the lack of progress in securing a new contract, Evers and Tatnall left the band, followed by Keith Brown. Rew and Jendon reconvened in 2007 and currently play a couple of the 'lost' Catherine songs in the Chicago-based band "Bugglette", and independently released a new album, "Shame On You, Shanga Flowerdell" in late 2008
After a break from music, Jendon was a member of Zelienople for 3 years and appeared on several of their albums. In addition to playing with Bugglette, he is currently performing and recording electronic music under his own name. His first solo CD, "Invisibility", was released on BloodLust! in late 2008.
===Reunion===
Catherine reunited for the first time since their 1998 breakup to play two songs during the encore of the October 14, 2011 Smashing Pumpkins show at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago. The band had indicated they might play a full show in Chicago after this appearance, but as of 2020 there has been no further activity.

Celebrity Skin

Celebrity Skin is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Hole. Billy Corgan co-wrote the arrangements for five of the songs and played bass on three. As a member of Hole, former Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur performs on the album as well.
== Background ==
The original plan was to have Corgan as executive producer, who was a second choice after Brian Eno, however, Corgan did not initially participate in, or contribute to the recording process.
According to Courtney Love, her vision for the album was to "deconstruct the California Sound" in the L.A. tradition of bands like The Doors, The Beach Boys and The Byrds, but she was struggling with the composition of the record and felt like she was "in a rut". After sending early recordings of the songs to Billy Corgan, Corgan joined the band in the studio for a total of twelve days. Love compared Corgan's presence in the studio to "a math teacher who wouldn't give you the answers but was making you solve the problems yourself", and stated that he had her study key changes as well as melodies and phrasing from songs by Frank Sinatra and The Beatles:Of the album's twelve tracks, Corgan shares instrumental songwriting credits on five.

Cenotaph

"Cenotaph" is the sixth track from Act III of the The Smashing Pumpkins' 2023 rock opera, ATUM. A cenotaph is an empty tomb or a monument erected in honor of a person or group of people whose remains are elsewhere. As Billy Corgan said, he was attracted to the idea of a cenotaph for this song because as it fit the narrative in the sense Ruby the robot is a cenotaph to Shiny's past.

Chicago Kid

Chicago Kid (also known as Chicago Songs, or sometimes stylized as ChicagoKid) is an abandoned album by Billy Corgan. It gets its name because the songs were all written with Chicago (Corgan's hometown) in mind. Studio sessions with Bjorn Thorsrud took place in the summer of 2003 and lasted for six to eight weeks. Corgan was not happy with the results, so in a final effort he performed for a series of shows in what was called the Church Sessions in anticipation of releasing a DVD. The track listing here is speculative, based on the setlists from the Church Sessions and Corgan's April 2004 blog entries. In April 2019, Corgan expressed interest in releasing the album someday.https://www.reddit.com/r/SmashingPumpkins/comments/bf838w/billy_has_unreleased_albums_that_are_better_than/

Chicago Nights

Chicago Nights is the third studio album from the Frank Catalano and Jimmy Chamberlin jazz collaboration, following 2016's Bye Bye Blackbird.

The album artwork is by Tony Fitzpatrick with art design by Diana Dagaz.https://www.instagram.com/p/CwYthlUOJY0/
Night City Publishing had to say about the album: "This is a record bound by duty to music as a concept and a record celebrating the brotherhood of Frank and Jimmy and their special sonic trust and synergy. Pulsing, cacophonous rhythm beats between brass induction and magnetic snares of energy. One can almost hear the unique sounds of Chicago in this record at times."
