Smashing Pumpkins - New CD
 

I have to say, I am REALLY surprised it is as good as it is. Billy has really 'found' the old school feeling. It seems like he has a type of song from all his records. Has the Gish hard core jam and the Siamese "Today" type feel.

Really pumped about it

Scav..I'll forgive your Sox WS post ( 3 ys in a row?), but curious about your Pumpkins post. I LOVE old Pumpkins ( Cherub, Stand Inside, Untitled etc) but haven't quite got the same love affair with this new stuff ( yet). I think Jimmy is too bombastic because he is a true "Pumpkin" and they play that up and Billy is too out there as well. Look at those earlier songs I mentioned..Billy is subtle..well, subtle for Billy and it's all James and the wall of guitar

Pretty much anway you cut it they are a very good band. I like the earlier stuff a lot more too.

Agreed..half a smashed Pumpkin is better than no smashed Pumpkins

They are one of my top 10 bands

If you can find their performance of Cherub Rock on Saturday Night Live on You Tube, or anywhere..check it out. That's when I was hooked

Im on the Youtube now listening to some music. Ill see if I can find it. Nothing like YOutubing good music, going over charts, and reading DT

couldn't have said it better myself.

For some reason I saw Fall Out Boy on The Today Show Friday morning..I really want to like them ( from Chicago, etc) but I just don't get it. I'm glad young people have a passion for music, but I guess I'm getting old.

Saw The Smithereens Thursday night at our town's fest..5TH time seeing them...awesome

They had one song that I really liked. Otherwise they arent much.

I like the Killers, they are newish.

I liked Arms Race though..I'll listen again. Need a "new" band to get hooked on..Allman Brothers will be dead soon...

The cds in my car are

Cars Anthology
The Killers
Bare Naked Ladies
Kiss greatest
Baby and Lil Wayne (stuttin like my daddy)
Air supply

Thats the rotation this week

Obviously the last one was a typo...

ha, nah thats not a typo, Ive always liked them. They relax me. I have the trans siberian Orchesra that I sub in and out for AS

I'm with you on Jimmy ..It's a good album .oops..CD...ooops..download.

White Stripes rock, My Morning Jacket..excellent
