The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream (Pt. 4)

In the last Siamese Dream episode, Nick and Austin finally answer the question you've all been wondering: What moon songs do you sing your babies? Nick crushes on a riff, talks about hobbits, and brings up Courtney Love again. Meanwhile, Austin learns a song in a day and exposes the connection between the band and Garth Brooks. It's a wild ride. Thanks for listening.

About the Podcast

Anyone Can Play Guitar

Learning every Radiohead song on guitar in order

Listen along as writers in Chicago and Switzerland learn to play songs from The Smashing Pumpkins on guitar. To prove they've put the time in, they're forcing themselves to record versions of each track to play for all to judge. Armed with this knowledge, they'll discuss each song, while simultaneously admitting to potentially embarrassing personal stories from more than 20 years of fandom.

In the first season, Nick and Austin learned every officially released Radiohead song. For season two, they are making their way through The Smashing Pumpkins from 1991 to 2000. While we'd love to learn every one of the band's songs on guitar, Billy Corgan is simply too prolific. We apologize.
