quick notes: the 90's are back. except they're horrible.

Did anyone else notice that the two new members of the Smashing Pumpkins used to be in Christian rock bands? (The Lassie Foundation and the Halo Friendlies.) Also, does Billy Corgan think that only female bass players will be able to play his basslines, or that he is somehow tricking us into thinking that as long as there's a girl playing bass, nothing has changed? I guess it's kind of like the Supreme Court. But what about the "stoned Japanese American dude" seat? Oh also, have you heard the new Pumpkins song? Thumbs down. If you want to see them play it live NINE TIMES, head down to San Francisco from roughly July 15 - August 1.

Have you read Marcello Carlin? Pretty amazing in general, and the best writing I have seen on Judee Sill is hiding in the archives.
