September 30, 2022 If All Goes Wrong
The sun is setting on Zeitgeist Summer and today we take a look at the 2008 documentary/live performance feature "If All Goes Wrong".
This warts and all documentary covers the Pumpkins infamous residencies at The Orange Peel in Asheville and The Fillmore in San Francisco in the summer of 2007.
Frank and Pat talk about their deep appreciation for the Zeitgeist-era lineup, Billy's love-hate relationship with the fans (and vice versa), the uncomfortable moments of watching a band and the members we love having a rough time and of course, more Jimmy adulation.
And also...Gossamer. GOSSAMER!
We also share news of how the Pumpkast episodes will operate moving forward.
Cuddle up to your homemade Billy bust and enjoy this episode!

August 31, 2022 F.O.L / SUPERCHRIST / G.L.O.W. and More
Zeitgeist Summer burns on as we cover even more Zeitgeist-era goodies. Today on the 'kast we discuss the tracks "F.O.L", "Superchrist", "G.L.O.W.", "Strength In Numbers", "I Don't Mind", "As Rome Burns" and "The March Hare", posing the questions: What exactly is selling out these days? Is "Superchrist" Christian Rock that actually rocks? Do some of these tracks hint at the heavy-psych-jam Pumpkins album that never was? Does it make a difference to have an outside producer? Is "The March Hare" the other side of the "Suffer" LSD trip? Do you need a safeword to listen to "As Rome Burns"?
And, IS there such a thing as "Toxic Positivity?” One thing is certain, BC/JC keep the band’s rock muscles toned and tanned with this little island of misfit tracks.
Come on and feel our love... for these songs!
