Really pumped about it

Scav..I'll forgive your Sox WS post ( 3 ys in a row?), but curious about your Pumpkins post. I LOVE old Pumpkins ( Cherub, Stand Inside, Untitled etc) but haven't quite got the same love affair with this new stuff ( yet). I think Jimmy is too bombastic because he is a true "Pumpkin" and they play that up and Billy is too out there as well. Look at those earlier songs I mentioned..Billy is subtle..well, subtle for Billy and it's all James and the wall of guitar

Pretty much anway you cut it they are a very good band. I like the earlier stuff a lot more too.

[GBBob]

Agreed..half a smashed Pumpkin is better than no smashed Pumpkins

They are one of my top 10 bands

If you can find their performance of Cherub Rock on Saturday Night Live on You Tube, or anywhere..check it out. That's when I was hooked

Im on the Youtube now listening to some music. Ill see if I can find it. Nothing like YOutubing good music, going over charts, and reading DT

For some reason I saw Fall Out Boy on The Today Show Friday morning..I really want to like them ( from Chicago, etc) but I just don't get it. I'm glad young people have a passion for music, but I guess I'm getting old.

Saw The Smithereens Thursday night at our town's fest..5TH time seeing them...awesome
