MACHINA's Connection to Old Songs 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Hey, you know how Billy always said that some of the old songs fit into the MACHINA storyline or whatever? Does anyone have any ideas of what songs they are? I'm guessing a few of them might be:

"Mayonaise"
"Bye June"
"I Am One"
"Rhinoceros"

Oh yeah? How so? Now, I'm like half-asleep here, so I'm not able to draw any connections with those songs... lol

Well in "Mayonaise", "Bye June", and "Rhinoceros" he mentions June, who is Glass' girlfriend, right?

I have the feeling that he just likes the word.

But who knows...

It could have some significance, or we could be on a wild goose chase.

There was some interview he gave where he said that a lot of the old songs tied into the MACHINA story, I just can't find it.

Oh, I see. I'm not that familiar with the whole MACHINA story, GATMOG, the Story of June So Far etc...

i don't know much either.
i kind of watched those GATMOG vids once and that was it. i suppose i should revisit some stuff and read the stuff on the Glass' story link that was put up recently in another thread- too tired to now.

I watched them once too, it made me feel like reading Shakespeare, I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on.

MACHINA is a big space circus Billy doesn't understand either, I guess , but the albums, both of them, are genious and I used to watch an Adore-era interview in which Billy told, that there'll soon be new stuff (=MACHINA stuff) exploring the meaning of Zero, so that would be a song connected to MACHINA!

i thought the vids were a bit weird so i never thought much on them. i was mostly just like- ok, thats interesting.

yeah, i'm not sure anyone gets it or even can. its hard to understand what Billy means sometimes by things although you now there is some deeper meaning behind it.

whenever i try to explain to a new pumpkins fan that when the pumpkins were making machina, one of the concepts was playing into what the media wanted while still being themselves even confuses me. (i hope i got that right...)

i think thats right. i think it has something to do with perceptions of the band in the media.

i'm confused by Machina.
