It seems like you've already convinced him!

Me too, normally it's basically just one person doing the making!

Is this all new material?

It's a bit that never fails

What we came up with is pretty compulsively listenable, I am finding! The first 4 songs flow together particularly great.

"Coma" might have made it if it was like half as long as it is

we could only fit so many of the long songs, especially since the big ballads were the keys to the album

It's so great, AND so exhausted and road-weary that it's the perfect coda to essentially wrap up the story!

I was a known Smashing Pumpkins hater in college, and when one of my friends found out the title of that then-forthcoming album, he could not WAIT to tell me what it was

And here's my own slightly tweaked version, still pretty close to what we landed on in the episode (plus one related bonus track that wouldn't fit on the CD)
Use Your Illusion Single CD (Steve's Version)

I still have a functioning Sony 5-CD changer and it would be an enormous pain in the ass to ever go back to changing CDs out one at a time!
