Did anybody else see the latest Smashing Pumpkins blog update? They are looking for the girls from the front cover of the Siamese Dream album, I wonder why they would be looking for them? ... maybe to use on a single cover?
Its pretty cool.

Yeah, deathfrom above it by far the worst of the extra tracks
So awesome that they're looking for the siamese dream girls. I would've thought there would be records of who they were somewhere.

This is a random thought I had tonight: I like Zeitgeist, but I really would like to see Billy embrace strings again... some of the most beautiful Pumpkins songs have them and Zeitgeist is severely lacking in them. I know he was trying to write a big rock album and blast everyone away with riffs or whatever... but yeah, some string parts to back it up would go down nicely, I feel.

I'm pretty happy with the way the new songs are sounding. More guitars I say!

wasnt in the 2001 J files on the pumpkins a question who was on the cover of the SD album? I thought the answer they wanted was d'arcys sisters.. but then they realised it was wrong or something like that..

D'Arcy's sisters were on the Today single cover. Richard got it wrong on the j Files i think.

ohhhhh wont darcy and james come back i mean billy and jimmy do most of the writing of the music but still it would be good to have them all back. And will the pumpkins ever make some stuff more like quiet and zero and cherub rock, hummer and things like there old stuff i really hope they do in the future

I guess time will tell about what they do in the future, they have such a diverse catalouge and every album has taken on a new sound so it's going to be interesting!

hey any knews on james and darcy? like if there coming back or somthing. I've given up on that happening, ryleigh1. I really hope i'm wrong though, of course. But seeing footage of Darcy & Billy together, you could tell they were at loggerheads most of the time, like two stubborn relatives of mine, always looking to oppose the others' opinion no matter what (you get that a lot within Italian families ). & even though this friction helped & maybe even inspired the band in some ways, I guess it was bound to take its toll eventually.

hey any knews on james and darcy? like if there coming back or somthing. Neither of them are coming back. James is happy doing his thing and has moved on, D'arcy left the band because she'd had enough so it's extremely extremely likely that it'll stay that way. Not sure why people are still asking this question...

Not sure why people are still asking this question... It's understandable though, that the newer/younger SP fans, of whom ryleigh1 is (be proud, ryleigh1! ) aren't aware of this sort of stuff.

I didn't mean to come off as so abrasive sounding... Ryleigh1 - it's cool. I guess a lot of us take it for granted that everyone's been reading the SP communities and all that. Apologies if I offended.

Latest SP myspace bulletin:
Were you at the Fillmore on July 30th or August 1st to see the Smashing Pumpkins?
DID YOU SHOOT VIDEO OF "CHERUB ROCK?"
Upload your "Cherub Rock" video clips from your cellphone, digital, or video camera to possibly be featured in the Smashing Pumpkins live DVD!

Does anybody else wonder - if or when Doomsday Clock will have a video released? The only reason I'm thinking this is because of the video footage used in the Promo video SP had up on youtube. The one that had the people from the Zeitgeist artwork and also those weird skeletons etc, now that was rumored to be a Doomsday Clock video - im dying here hoping it ends up being the case.

i'm tihnking its not looking very likely with the talk of the thats the way vid being shot.. would be cool to have it though. but i'm starting to think that it was just pics from the booklet included in the youtube video

I just don't get why that the extra animation of the skeleton's etc just for that promo video, seems weird to me, to have new footage just for a 1min clip. I guess I was hoping that they would run with it, it is such a good song (even though the production levels suck according to some) ... it would still be great. In other news, saw this posted on Netphoria: Does James have a double chin?!?!

no, just the angle

Does James have a double chin?!?! hehe that's the first thing i notcied, a little one there but yeah, may just be the angle. His face does look a bit more "full" though. Still cool as always
