Guy:

Great, it's great.

DJ:

Alright, that's your own man, it sounds really great, believe us, and once again I just want to tell the audience, if you're just tuning in you're listening to a live performance on the air right now by the Smashing Pumpkins, and why don't you plug that show again tomorrow and the record and everything?

Corgan:

Ouch!

DJ:

Yeah, that sounded really great, I think Neil Young would be proud to say the least.

Corgan:

Thank you, man.

DJ:

Yeah, I really liked that a lot. Hey, you- now, I hope you've got more, 'cause we'd love to hear it. You know another half hour if you've got it, at least, you know.

Corgan:

Well, we've got some more, but we've got to take it easy on my voice, I'm just a little sick.

DJ:

Yeah, OK, plus tomorrow night, right, right, well do some instrumentals.

[Chamberlin plays instrumental pastiche]

DJ:

You're listening to the Smashing Pumpkins playing live on WZRD Chicago.

Corgan:

Alright we're gonna regroup, hold on a sec... talk a lot, man.

DJ:

And they got on the air 'cause I saw them play live and they sounded really great, so hopefully you'll go out and see them play live. They're playing tomorrow night with 4 or 5 other bands at the Cabaret Metro, and as they said they're opening for That Petrol Emotion so that ought to be a really great show. Erm, also, listen, if you're in a local band and you want to get your chance at playing live on WZRD, what you do is send us a cassette, it's that simple, send us a cassette or a record, it doesn't matter, to: WZRD, 5500 North St Louis Avenue, Chicago IL 60625-4699, it's real simple and right now we want.. Like I said, we're listening to the Smashing Pumpkins playing live on the air and we'd like to hear from you, it sounds really great, that Neil Young song that they just did was live, that was not a recording. What you're hearing is live- I know it sounds really great, but it is live! Call us up, 794-2861 is the number, we'd love to hear from you.

Corgan:

Alright, this is an old song called 'There It Goes'.

Let me just say one thing, you guys have got a lot of fans in the audience, they're really calling up definitely and they really like the sound, they really like the sound a lot. Hey, why don't you plug the show one more time before you leave?

Corgan:

Alright, the show is tomorrow night it starts at ten thirty, there's five bands, we're the fourth band, not that you should skip anyone else but we'll probably be going on around twelve thirty [laughter]. You wanna show up late and be cool, you know.

Wretzky:
