Smashing Pumpkins Drummer Writing MySpace Love Letters, New Pumpkins Tunes?

10/20/06, 5:39 pm EST

Smashing Pumpkins, Jimmy ChamberlainWe 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

God, the things that became of such a goob band.

liz | 10/20/2006, 11:21 pm EST

your mom is a goob band.

anne | 10/21/2006, 1:25 am EST

I’ve spoken to billy, and he thinks you’re both goobs.

liz | 10/21/2006, 11:08 am EST

really, who cares if James is involved or not. He wasn’t the principle songwriter.

ahi ahi | 10/21/2006, 2:54 pm EST

If James & D’Arcy are not involved, lots of people won’t give a crap about this band. I know I won’t. It would be like Gary Cherone fronting Van Halen. BIG MISTAKE!

Danny | 10/21/2006, 4:05 pm EST

James definetly needs to be involved. If I’m not mistaken just him and Billy recorded Siamese Dream, so I’d like to see that again.

Michael | 10/21/2006, 6:21 pm EST

today is the greatest…

B | 10/21/2006, 11:46 pm EST

it is definitely not true that james and billy were the only two that played on siamese dream, however, jimmy and billy were the only two to play on gish, which was the first album. so, in a way, the original lineup is already back together.

jimbo | 10/22/2006, 10:26 am EST

I don’t want to point out the obvious here, but are you sure that isn’t JESUS CHRIST posting those letters? Same initials, kind of new agey-the pieces seem to be falling into place.

In conclusion, Jesus Christ has replaced James Iha in the Pumpkins. Spread the Good News.

shelly | 10/22/2006, 2:18 pm EST

who cares if darcy and james are in the band again. i just want cortney love out of billy’s life all the artic;es i read are intertwining the two ugh!

Cayse | 10/22/2006, 4:36 pm EST

Gerard Way looks way to much like the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins!
I hope he stays blond

myosis | 10/23/2006, 10:07 am EST

thank you B for not knowing what the fuck you’re talking about

superjoe79 | 10/23/2006, 3:55 pm EST

i dont care who is playing bass or 2nd guitar. it would still be kick ass to hear those songs again live.

semerkoala | 10/24/2006, 10:22 pm EST

uhm…how could just billy and james have recorded siamese dream by themselves? are those not jimmy’s drums throbbing the rocking roll along? yeah…

Jon | 10/25/2006, 3:24 am EST

Deezee | 10/25/2006, 7:07 am EST

Maximus Prime | 11/26/2006, 1:59 am EST

I think if, and when, the new Pumpkins album comes out it will be all religious just like his solo album and Zwan cd….. Is it just me, or does anyone else see that Billy’s become a Christian Rocker?

Bri | 12/5/2006, 4:36 pm EST

I would love a new album but the Smashing Pumpkins.It wouldn’t be Mellon Collie,but does it have to?

zoe met art | 8/16/2007, 7:13 am EST

More or less nothing seems important. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me recently. I can’t be bothered with anything recently, but such is life. My life’s been generally bland today. Not much on my mind these days, but eh.

I can’t be bothered with anything recently. I’ve just been sitting around doing nothing. Today was a loss. I just don’t have much to say. Nothing seems worth thinking about.

I can’t be bothered with anything these days. I guess it doesn’t bother me. What can I say?

air airline cheap flight flight ticket | 8/29/2007, 7:10 am EST

I can’t be bothered with anything these days. Basically not much noteworthy happening. I feel like an empty room. I’ve more or less been doing nothing.
