i recently stumbled across the sir richard bishop play sun city girls 7″ online, and was pleased to hear jason had already snagged one of the limited copies. the record has three acoustic variations on some wonderful songs, which gives them even more life. i found the video below of sir richard bishop playing esoterica of abyssinia in this same fashion. astounding.

Today Is

i remember back in 1993 when Siamese Dream came out and Today became one of the most overplayed alt-rock songs ever. it was a great song, it was just impossible to escape. now 14 years later the Pumpkins are reuniting and some present day musicians are showing them some love. Ben Kweller does a terrific job with a stripped down version of the song.
