Jimmy's Love Letters

October 24, 2006 4:17 PM

immy Chamberlain, the drummer for The Smashing Pumpkins, has started posting on the band's Myspace blog.

Greetings from Pumpkinland! Sorry it's taken so long to write! I'm here to tell you that great things are on track for the future. As some of you know we are indeed creating music again. Music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it. We have arrived at a place in our lives where truth and honesty prevail and we are creating from that place. I will try to keep these love letters short and frequent as we welcome you back to a place that rocks! Love JC

Man, the potential of new SP music makes me giddy. I originally thought that MACHINA and Machina II weren't that good. I still don't think that they're the best albums the band put out, but I've been listening to stuff from Machina II lately, and it's pretty decent. For example, Saturnine is a decent song. More than decent - I'd give it 4/5 songs on iTunes.

As exciting as the prospect of a new SP album is, what I'm even more excited is the prospect of seeing them live again. I've seen them three times - once each on the Infinite Sadness, Adore, and Machina tours. The best one was the Adore show, which took place at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix. That's the only time that I've seen the original line up of Billy, James, D'arcy, and Jimmy. And it was awesome. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Seeing them again would just be too awesome for words.

And that reminds me - when the fuck are they going to release the DVD of their last show at the Metro? I swear, if I had had the money, nothing would have been able to stop me from getting to that show.
