Disappointing..How so, Mig, you ungrateful cretin?? you may ponder...Well, it is because, in fact, it was more of a sad exercise in exhibiting Corgan's inflated ego...
In fact, all that represented the "Pumpkins essence", was the former disgraced member, heroin addict, Jimmy Chamberlain... At least I THINK it was his vacant stare meeting the crowd behind the drumkit...
And now it's even worse: instead of generously standing aside in order to allow new and emerging musical talent, he publishes a book of poetry and does open callouts for auditioning new members...
So all ye bassists and keyboardists (I wonder whether they're still hunting down a replacement following the death of their previous touring keys player who OD'd on heroin, hence, busting Jimmy in the act..) if you have a shred of talent, proffer your services to the rather sad decline of a band that once rocked my world...
My mellon collie and my sadness, is, indeed, infinite...

I feel we need to have a frank and open debate about whether there should be a "the" in front of "Smashing Pumpkins". Is "Smashing" a verb or an adjective? We need to know, and we can't let delicate sensibilities and sexual mores stand in the way of our probing for truth.
You know, at the top it says "nobody's favourite drive time host", but you are MINE. So that is incorrect.
Dang Pobjie, you addle my discursive arrogance with your semantics debate...certainly it must be, in true grammatical accuracy, "the smashing of pumpkins"...
And yet, when adapting a verb and a noun to create a proper noun, then which rules apply?? ps. I shall explain lymph nodes to you later...
