To enter, just leave the name of your favourite Pumpkins song and the city you live in below this post.

INCLUDES:

6 Postcards Featuring Never-Before-Seen Band Photos

On November 29 in North America and December 5 internationally, EMI Music will launch an extensive campaign honoring the legacy of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS by reissuing the iconic alternative band’s first two albums–GISH (1991) and SIAMESE DREAM (1993), certified platinum and 4X platinum respectively–in CD, deluxe 2CD/DVD, vinyl LP, and digital configurations. Both albums, each with bonus content and special features that were curated from the band’s archives by founding member Billy Corgan, have been painstakingly remastered for the first time from the original master tapes by Bob Ludwig. *See all track listings below.

With the full support and guidance from THE SMASHING PUMPKINS–who’ve created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history, selling over 30 million albums–EMI’s global catalog reissue campaign will last through 2013; it will encompass all the band’s albums and B-sides from 1991-2000, with other release dates to be announced. The pivotal group’s many hits defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation. Gish highlights include “I Am One,” “Siva” and “Rhinoceros,” while Siamese Dream features “Cherub Rock,” “Today” and “Disarm.” Both groundbreaking albums were produced by Butch Vig and Billy Corgan.

As THE SMASHING PUMPKINS get the fully remastered treatment via these reissues, the band is excited to be moving forward by creating new music. After touring America and Europe this fall–the trek launched October 5 in Los Angeles and wraps December 8 in Lisbon–they will release OCEANIA, “an album within an album,” as part of their in-progress 44-song work TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE. Featuring 13 new songs, OCEANIA will be released in early 2012.

For the GISH and SIAMESE DREAM liner notes, Billy Corgan was interviewed by journalist/author David Wild. Corgan reflects on why these albums were hard-won triumphs for the band and discusses the origins of the songs.

S.C.U.M are anything but. No, their debut album, Again Into Eyes is a triumphant arrival, full of slick pop gems with a hard electro edge. We have 5 copies to giveaway to randomly selected LAEM readers who are also our Facebook Friends. To enter, be our Facebook Friend and leave the name of the city you’re in below this post.

This is a debut which has filtered through the collective unconscious long before its completion, and it already it feels burned into the cortex. Again Into Eyes reels from carnival-esque toughness to a second side that comes close to despair before mainlined redemption in the form of ‘Whitechapel’, a utopian, future-disco monolith, washed in otherworldly Mellotron and Choirs, it’s perhaps the biggest surprise on the record.

Pina is a captivating 3D film about German dance pioneer Pina Bausch. For our Australian readers, we have 5 double passes to giveaway to celebrate the film’s release. To be in with a chance of winning one, just be our Facebook Friend and leave a note under this post with the name of the city you live in.

ABOUT PINA
Pina is a captivating and immersive 3D film about German dance pioneer Pina Bausch, featuring the performers of the company she ran for 36 years. Director Wim Wenders (Buena Vista Social Club, Wings of Desire) takes the audience on a sensual, visually stunning journey of discovery, drawing us deeply into the unique and inspiring art of Bausch, who died in the summer of 2009 as Wenders started the film. Pina reinvigorates the way 3D technology can be used, giving the film a magical quality, turning dance into cinema. Wenders has found a way to translate Pina Bausch’s entrancing art of movement, gesture, speech and music into film, while seamlessly interweaving her presence and thoughts through the performances of her dancers.
Pina has been lauded by the critics with comments such as “this movie is so beautiful it aches”, “thrilling and revelatory” and “this is the beginning of a whole new use of 3D.” [IN AUSTRALIAN CINEMAS AUGUST 18]

They do not carry leather or fur. They handpick jewelry, accessories, and home decor by emerging designers from around the world who take pride in every piece they make.

About The Art Park
Paul McNeil and Craig Rochfort love art and opened the park gates to all their clever friends. Soon after, talented filmmakers, artists and writers started pouring in, attracted by the flowers, trees and grass. These people went on to shape The Art Park, and eventually they all ended up living there. Inspired by the surroundings, art was made, films were played and words were sayed.

The Art Park Online Store
Not having their own ‘actual shop’ has not stopped them actually setting up a shop! The Art Park is ‘the’ location for all discerning buyers to get all they need in life (excluding food and water). Not only do they sell their own precious products, they stock all the great work of their friends. Books, zines, clothes, posters, art and all the things they like, plus more.
