They’re just fighting back after finding themselves in an awkward give-and-take situation this summer. “We’re a cantankerous group,” explains lead singer Billy Corgan. “We don’t take shit from anybody. (But) the minute we go one step down, the knives come out and that’s it.” Corgan is referring to the fact that even though the group is giving away 100 percent of their shows’ ticket sales — amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars — to charitie...

I would like to include a friend named Jay’s recollection of a Smashing Pumpkins show. Pumpkin Love ok, without further adieu, here’s my story. I dated a girl that was from Chicago for 3 years, and we went to the big city to visit her family at least once a year. we ordered our plane tickets about 6 months in advance so we knew that we were going to be there in july of 1998.

While I like coppermine, for images, I grew tired of it. So I created a whole new SP Image Gallery, with special music for each album I created and uploaded it on my site. And not with coppermine, or any of those kind of galleries. I also wanted to add some new pics too. So it's a done deal now. Dam, I have a shitload of pics! It was rainy here yet again, it seems to just wait for the weekend, all week it is sunny and them boom here comes the weekend and you can hear the thunder and the storm rolling in. It makes it cool, so it is nice though.
Thursday I had to have some major and painful dental work done. The night before I picked out some very special songs to soothe and relax me during the procedure. My dentist gives you a cd player to listen to, that or watch tv, and I chose the cd. It was so comforting, I put on sunglasses, and just closed my eyes, and just got lost in the pumpkiness. Before I knew it, the dentist was finished and it was over. :)
Back in the days when the o-board was alive and kicking. Billy was working on the Gatmog series. We all made showcases thorugh Screenblast. We had so much fun, working with the clips, and the music and all the characters. :)
