Music: David Gilmour - The Blue - On An Island
Mood: Bien
1. A Perfect Circle is no more. In an interview with a French magazine, Maynard remarked that the band have exhausted the recording and touring processes, and would only get back together in the future to record covers. While it really pains me to hear that one of my favorite bands is nevermore, this news pretty much paved the way for:
2. The Smashing Pumpkins announcement that they are officially back together, minus schizophrenic original bassist D'Arcy. According to their website, they are slated to start recording new material this summer, and will release an album at an undetermined time in the future.
I don't think it's a coincidence that SP announced this 'news' the week before Coachella is slated to happen. Bear in mind that when the original Coachella lineup was revealed, many industry pundits were certain that the Pumpkins would be the special guest performer on Saturday night. But the news was shot down by many people close to Billy Corgan, and subsequent media outfits. Now, with the planets and stars aligning in such a convincing fashion, I would not be surprised if they made an appearance.

I think you mean there was speculation they were gonna play on Sunday night... Sat night is stacked.... and this was before Tool was even added to the bill.
Droppin science on y'all since 85
fa sho. GO LAKERS!!!!
are you sure james iha is rejoining the band?
ps- d'arcy wasn't a schizo, she just did a lot of crack
yeah i'm totally sure about iha. they talked about it on kroq.
and yeah, d'arcy can go fuck herself as far as im concerned. she's on par with courtney love in my eyes. and that is really saying something...
dude, based on what? i have no particular love for d'arcy but she in no may measures up to the psycho destructive selfish creature that courtney is. d'arcy never harmed anyone but herself.
she feeds copies of mellon collie to her pigs. and every interview i've seen with her makes me want to pull my hair out for some reason. i suppose my hatred is somewhat unwarranted but frankly, i'm just glad that she's not going to be a part of the new pumpkins because she was so self-destructive.
where did you hear that? as far as i know, d'arcy has never been known to inspire negative feelings. billy corgan has drawn more hate than she has. anyway nevermind.
but i honestly hope she comes back, auf der mar and the subsequent album didn't compare. the band fell apart musically after she left.
also i can't find anything tangible on james rejoining and i'd be really surprised if he did because the split was pretty nasty. i really hope you're right though, without their lead guitarist and bassist i wouldn't be too optimistic about the new album. in that case, we're back to zwan. lol
lol zwan was the epitome of garbage. iha and d'arcy co-own a record label in new york, and he's been working with a lot of bands in japan of late since APC disbanded. there was talk again this afternoon about how the pumpkins are back in the fold and how iha was quoted as being on board, according to jimmy chamberlain. but with this band, you really never know. iha and d'arcy are really tight, so i doubt she would be thrilled with him going back to the band.
still, i hold out hope for the future.
This is completely random and odd, but I stumbled upon your blog and it was intelligent enough to read through. You are very articulate and the male community needs more members like yourself. Keep writing!

Liz,
Thanks for your comment. I will do my best to keep the prose coming, even if I sometimes struggle to understand why we do this in the first place.
Cheers and many thanks,
Devin
