In Lieu of Failure

1h 2m · Thirty-Three with William Patrick Corgan · 14 Mar 11:14

This week after several emotionally heavy episodes we thought it best to have a little levity on the twenty-seventh chapter of the Smashing Pumpkins interstellar musical expedition album that is ATUM... it's the world premiere of "In Lieu of Failure" (with the sound of classic Pumpkins kids love!), plus we talk about how one picks an album single, celebrity encounters with a game of 6 degrees of Billy Corgan, poop emojis, self-awareness of the ridiculousness, and cover bands...all of which leads to the classic Joy Division cover "Isolation" as performed by Billy's Starchildren side project (and of course why said band even existed in the first place)....it's an episode that bounces all over the place in all the right ways and so much more, this week, on Thirty-Three.
