Ep. 91 - The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina/The Machines of God
Smashing Pumpkins fans — this one’s for YOU.Today we take a deep dive into Machina / The Machines of God, the fifth studio album from the original Smashing Pumpkins era and one of the most fascinating chapters in the band’s entire history.

I even pull out my original Machina CDs, concert tickets, and memories from catching the band on the Sacred & Profane Tour.
