demo #10: mellon collie & the infintesimal wing

i wish i took the time to clean this up a little more, but i don't think i thought i'd be sitting here 17 years later talking about it...

so, i'm trained as a blues guitarist. everybody knows that the way to prove you're a real blues guitarist is to do a cover of little wing. that's just how it is.

however, i kind of felt a generational disconnect. i mean, i love hendrix and everything; that's kind of obvious, if you listen. i just felt little wing needed a bit of a punk rock update, and i thought it might be neat to merge it with a more contemporary piece - the opening track on the smashing pumpkins' double disc opus.

so, that's what this is. mellon collie and the infinitesimal wing.....

recorded in nov, 1996. remastered on oct 15, 2013.
