I've seen the Homerpalooza episode of the Simpsons SOOO many times just because the Pumpkins were in it. I have loved the band since watching a 'No Nirvana' program in the early 90's. They played Rhinocerous and they played it well. I have bought practically everything they have ever released in our blighted isle, including at least 3 copies of Siamese Dream due to my penchant for scratching CD's.
So I was as happy to hear they had reformed as I was mortified that they'd split. The only balls out rock band since, well since forever. Never been touched since.
And then I paid £60 for tickets for me and me girly friend to see them in Nottingham. Thanks for repaying my 15 years of devotion by walking off without so much as a wave. Were we all supposed to scream "I bought your EP Billy!" and wave our hands around like Girls Aloud fans?
I digress, the songs you did play were excellent, it was amazing hearing Porcelina live and you did squeeze Mayonaise in there as well which I am grateful for; but you can never be forgiven for the way you acted. Is there any chance of you using your millions of dollars to fly me and my girlfriend out to see you play at a more suitable venue?
Love Mark.
