Welcome to your Super Saturday edition of the Laptop Sessions. Time for another band to join the library of the Sessions.
The Smashing Pumpkins is today’s band, and the song is a terrific one from their album “Siamese Dream”. If you have never heard of this album or this band, go out and pick this album up. It really is something else to listen too.
Anyway, the song is “Disarm”, the more acoustically-driven song on the album. I love playing this song and always have. Billy Corgan (SP’s leadman) has a very unique lyric and guitar style, and I hope I did a good job in living up to his incredible talent.
The only minor flub – if I had to be picky – was a slightly incorrect note in the last chorus. I got a little ahead of myself, but caught it before I had to redo the take. Speaking of which, this was take 3. On take 2 I dropped my pick on the last line of the song, and led out a very loud expletive (The killer in…!*&%!!).

As promised, this is a great one, Jeff! I love the strum pattern from the first to the last! (By the way, I was thinking we should have a “dress up like the artist” week — too bad I already broke out my “Man in Black” suit!… lol!)
