Adore Documentary

Finally! This is what I have been waiting for a long time. There is a Adore tour documentary being produced. This is taken from the official site:

"this fall the smashing pumpkins are set to release an as yet untitled documentary shot during the entire course of their groundbreaking adore tour. filmed over roughly 5 months of rehearsing, recording, and touring around the world, this will be the pumpkins first home video release since vieuphoria in 1994. the video will be directed by jesse ignjatovic, a producer for mtv who took a leave of absence to travel with the band. covering may to september of 1998, the adore tour saw the pumpkins playing in european amusement parks, botanical gardens, ports of call, and even parking garages. also featured will be the unprecedented american charity tour, that covered 14 cities and raised over 2.7 million dollars."

High quality live MP3's

Over at http://pumpkins.intratech.org/ you can download high quality MP3's from the arising tour. I can REALLY recommend Ava Adore and Dross (new song) from the Pittsburgh show.

Latest site updates:
990426	Today I sent in my two contributions to the SPC art contest, cross your fingers for me please :).
990424	Hehe, I know I haven't updated in ages now (except the news). But the thing is that I'm working on a much needed re-design of this page. It's probably going to take some time, I'm working on some other projects too + I'm so lazy :). Well, I've made a new desktop featuring Darcy from the new tour, go to the sp art section.
990121	Well, it took a while, but here it is, my new WinAmp skin; As you can see, it's based on the album "Adore". Head on to the downloads section or download the skin directly.
981226	Divided the pictures section into a couple of more categories; Group, Billy, James, D'arcy and Misc. Now it's much more easier to find the pictures you're looking for. I also converted all the thumbnails to small GIF's so the picture pages load much faster now.
981119	Added my first ever WinAmp skin, it's a James Iha styled skin. Head on to the downloads section or download the skin directly. An Adore skin is coming in a few days.
981104	Received two drawings that I added to the sp-art section. Thanks to Holly.
981102	Added 8 new pictures.
981026	Received a great review of the Buenos Aires show (the last date on the tour). It's a review of both the acoustic show and the electric one.
