Tracklist
1.
Let's go back to the end of Adore....How soon after promoting that album did you begin writing songs for MACHINA?
0:39
2.
D'arcy played on the album and then she left once the album was finished?
0:25
3.
What does Jimmy's return and presence mean to the sound and outcome of MACHINA?
1:03
4.
Specifically then, how does Jimmy's approach change the songs in ways you wouldn't expect?
1:09
5.
What about Melissa Auf Der Mar attracted you to her as a bass player? Did you go through rehearsals? Did you have a short list or was it always her?
0:55
6.
You were quite clear that Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness really felt like the end of the rock and roll period for The Smashing Pumpkins. Adore clearly was a chance for you to go and explore where The Smashing Pumpkins might go next. What we would all like to know now is what would MACHINA be in relation to both of those albums?
2:03
7.
You have been at one point or another labeled as "one of the saviors of alternative rock and rock"...How do you cross the line and know when you are trusting your intuition and that it's the right thing to do?
2:57
8.
You said that "Adore was as close as The Smashing Pumpkins ever came to a complete we don't care what anyone thinks about artistic integrity"...Where does MACHINA fit into that context?
1:45
9.
I would like to talk about 3 songs off the MACHINA album, first, THE EVERLASTING GAZE?
0:39
10.
STAND INSIDE YOUR LOVE?
0:23
11.
I OF THE MORNING?
0:57
12.
How do you know when a song is finished?
0:53
13.
Which record, if any, feels unfinished? And if you could take another run at any of them, would you?
0:54
14.
As a songwriter, does it feel like the stakes for having an impact are being raised?
0:30
15.
Can you isolate a song that is one of your purest songs....by "pure" I mean the point at which all of your influences, art and literature, and life and family came into perfect confluence?
0:32
16.
Can you give me an example of one song from MACHINA that seemed to take a pound of flesh off of you....a song that was just the killer?
1:01
17.
Is there anyone you see as a contemporary songwriter that you would view as a kindred spirit?
1:05

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
