How's it going?

hey everyone! how's it goin!?

Im new to this site, and i think this site is new, because yesterday these short animations were elsewhere. Anyway, ill be sure to notify all my other pumpkin fans about this wonderful site that i hope gets filled to the brink with other pumpkin fans like me. I love what the site admin has done with the place, and i love those hilarious Billy clips (no harm done billy!). Anyway as long as i got your attention, i mise well tell ya how i came to be interested in the pumpkins. Im a newbie actully, i came across the pumpkins just last year. You see, i was working on my own musical projects and i needed a new direction then punk rock.... it was getting too basic. I wasnt quite sure what i was searching for, but after hearing some Nirvana, i decided to check out grunge. the pumpkins didnt come along until i was searching through my father's cd collection one day and accidently dropped "mellon collie". I picked it back up and decided to give it a whirl. I was intantly won over by the self titled piano solo in the beginning, and then after hearing jelly belly, i knew i had finnally found a band that i really truely enjoyed! Over the next few months i researched the pumpkins and obtained all of their cds (thanks to a close friend's dad who is also obsessed with the pumpkins), and i quickly fell in love with everything they have done. Everyone in the sophmore class of ohio is into rap and pop and emo metal and stuff... while i am into the pumpkins! and its ok with me because they can keep their music.... the pumpkins are working out just fine for me. Anyway, not to be cocky, but after a year of straight research (and a lot of dollers and time well spent) id like to say that i know enough to hold decent conversations with you pumpkin veterains (even though sadly ive never been to a concert!, but maybe that will change one day!?

anyway, ill be around!

Hi Andy. Thanks for joining. I discovered The Pumpkins in a similar way. The first album I heard was Mellon Collie and I really liked it, but it wasn't until a few years later that I got into early 90s/grunge music and became a full-fledged Pumpkins fan.

Hello there. I am fine, thanks. It's good to see a decent site arise on the Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan. What I like about this forum, in comparison to Netphoria, is the white layout. Maybe it will bring forward more 'friendly' discussions...

dont worry, this site is going to be the best thing ever! i really have high expectations for this site, and ive been telling all my friends!

Hi! This website looks really great so I added it to my Safari-bookmarks immediately! I'm a fan of the pumpkins since 2000. Somewhere that year I bought Adore but it took a while before I got used to it. When I bought Mellon Collie in august 2000, I really fell in love with the music. Unfortulately I never saw them live, but I did see Zwan and JCC, which was truly great. Well, maybe my wish will come true anyway!

What's goin on budday?

Yay! Netphoria buddies.

100px avatars? Rad! Now I have to make some new ones.

Hey McMurderson you should change it so that when you submit your post it doesn't jump back to the main forum, and stays in the thread you were posting in instead.

Nevermind I found the option in preferences.

yeah, everyone's talking about netphoria around here.... i never really got into that site for some reason, the only real pumpkin sites ive explored to the max would be this older smashing pumpkins fan site that used to be around but recently closed, RSPAA, and the billy site with his journals (god i used to read those all day long in study halls in school),

Great site of course, source of all the releases and boots etc. Although I never liked the interface, it's boring!

Blamo.org
Starla.org (best links)

Too bad the sony pictures site is down, It was a nice one.

Content is more important than the look of the interface.

Darcy has become the new face of indifference.

damn this site is kickass.
