We don’t know what to make of this but it sure sounds like him. Legendary (and legendarily troubled) Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin (or someone claiming to be him) is writing “Love Letters” to the readers of the Smashing Pumpkins’ MySpace blog in which he claims, by way of gushy, new age-y poems, that the band (or some incarnation of it) is busy recording new material. He also talks about shooting stars.
“As some of you know, we are indeed creating music again” he writes. “Music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it. We have arrived at a place in our lives where truth and honesty prevail and we are creating from that place.” Um whoa?
“JC,” as he signs his letters, says the band has been working with Roy Thomas Baker and Terry Date and that the universe has let the band know “things are right” by bringing such fine producers into their lives. We will know things are right in the Pumpkins’ world if and when they ever convince James Iha to get onboard. Read the entire posts after the jump.

Jimmy’s Love Letters
Greetings from Pumpkinland! Sorry it’s taken so long to write! I’m here to tell you that great things are on track for the future. As some of you know we are indeed creating music again. Music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it. We have arrived at a place in our lives where truth and honesty prevail and we are creating from that place. I will try to keep these love letters short and frequent as we welcome you back to a place that rocks! Love JC
Jimmy’s Love Letters .2
Greetings and salutations! Its been a hectic week for JC as we have been tracking drums non stop. Things are sounding fantastic. Tracking drums is a bit like going to another planet for four or five or nine minutes. We recently finished up working with Roy Thomas Baker, (Queen, The Cars!), Working with RTB was not only an honor, but also one of the best musical experiences we have ever had. We are currently working with Terry Date (Pantera, Soundgarden!) and that is going great as well. The universe has a way of letting you know that things are right by introducing people like RTB and Terry into the fold. It..s all part of one big cosmic journey, in so that everyone reading this is hitching their silver chord to the Great Pumpkin Space Train! Hope this helps clear some things up for you. Don’t forget to cast your eyes skyward this weekend…. You may see a shooting star. Love JC
