Um. I'm pretty sure that this bit of "news" is fake. ;)

That's...just funny.

yes the letter was published in Seattle's free weekly newspaper "The Stranger" which is also the home of Dan Savage's weekly sex column "Savage Love" which is hilarious.

wasn't the letter clearly a review, just written in the form of an open letter from billy corgan? i mean, don't you have to be at least a bit backwards to not see that immediately?

this is getting more attention than it deserves. the review sucks.

"This band has always been the headlight on the barreling locomotive of modern youth; with a title like Zeitgeist, nobody can argue. I brought back original Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain—recovered and reverent of yours truly, he's the epitome of a new leaf turned over—plus another chick bassist and some new guitar guy. Zeitgeist (Say it! It feels good!)"

"Several weeks ago, I released "Tarantula" to prime the public for the coming onslaught. The song is the sound of one ego exploding (mine), the sound of an entire album in just one song. You'll like it because it has the same skyrocketing guitar riff as "Cherub Rock," and you liked "Cherub Rock" back in 1993. You still like it, because it is one of the best songs ever recorded. But now, instead of one guitar playing one riff, there are more—way more—guitars. And more riffs. It's awesome, in the original sense of the word. It might scare you."

[Joliet's Green Onions]

i disagree.

i hear it with a billy west voice rather than a billy voice...this could be one reason it's funny

although, i think i'd still think it was funny if i heard it as billy
