63. Sarah McLeod (The Superjesus) on The Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream"

The first lady of Aussie rock Sarah McLeod, frontwoman of the legendary Superjesus, joins host Jeremy Dylan to discuss the album that inspired her band's sound - "Siamese Dream" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

How did the Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin's heroin addiction effect the sessions? What was the song that convinced record execs that Corgan was on the right track? Why was producer Butch Vig the best at handling Corgan's vocals? Why is it physically impossible for Sarah to fire the rest of the Superjesus? Why did the Pumpkins go $250,000 over budget? How has doing this podcast influenced the upcoming new Superjesus album?
