This is from Linda Strawberry's myspace, didn't know if anyone had seen it so I thought I'd post it up there. She's heard Zeitgeist

i want to gush. i dont usually gush. but this gushing is well earned.
you could say that im biased since billy is one of my favorite people on the
planet..
but...
im not exaggerrating..
the other night after we had been shooting a video for a friend of ours
(glittercop//sonic justice league...more on this later)... billy pulled a cd out of his pocket.. the just
mastered new pumpkins record and asked if we wanted to hear it.. um..
yes...i guess so.. OF COURSE.
i hadn't heard anything since i would visit them last year in rehearsals.
and im really glad i waited to hear anything because it was such a brilliant
surprise.
we were all tired and i was sitting comfortably on the couch but somehow a
few seconds after the music started assaulting the speakers i was up in
front in the middle dancing my ass off. its ballsy.. its dark.. its some of
the best drumming ive ever heard.. its wild. its on fire. its everything ive
been asking the music world to give me.... something to rock my brains out
to... something gorgeous.. something inspired.. something well
written....and well played.. and complete. its majestic.
they didnt hold back anything. its violently beautiful. the vocal
arrangements make me wild.. its passionate.
i promised to not be specific.
i can't say anything specific. and i know this is going to be annoying to
alot of pumpkins fans dying for specifics.. im sorry.. this is such a
tease... but i dont care
i rocked so hard that i got whiplash and a sore calf.
im soooo excited...
and i can't wait to see it live.
and im so fucking proud of them.

its an achievement. the bar has been raised.

on that note,....
im going to go do some practicing.

<3

It sounds like the album will be awesome, I thought I'd just bring this to people's attention

things like this help to lessen the "no james" blow a little bit

That's good. So far everyone who's heard the album has calling it heavy and now we have "dark." That's good. Angst is what drives the pumpkin's signature sound. Well I'm excited.

thank fucking god hell yeah have no fear billy and jimmy are hear to rawk this fucking planet to its fucking core july please hurry up, waiting is the hardest part.

linda is hot if that is her real name holy crap

exactly.

but really, something like this from the biggest billy slave there is, isnt going to make me more excited for the album at all.

the coolest guy in the school of rawk goes to mr billy corgan.

i dunno. im certainly not going to get my expectations up until i hear it. cause it might end up sounding like crap compared to what she wrote. but i'll see.

nice name, imasterbiate.

My expectations are sky-high anyway... this kind of "propaganda" is not good for the album. Unless it IS gonna live up to our wildest expectations and dreams. I'm scared..

I wish billy would come round my house and just pull a cd out of his pocket.. the just mastered new pumpkins record and ask if I wanted to hear it...

yeah, they've kept the line-up a secret this long only to disappoint us....

i'm so giddy!

i wonder what she had to do to get to hear that album hmmmmmmmm ?

+ = pimp pimp pimpin

Well, that gives me some hope. . but I don't really want to envision Linda rocking her brains out.
