okay. i am a pumpkins fan. scratch that.

i am a pumpkins fiend. lover. adoring, gushing, disgusting worshiper of all things pumpkins.

so how is a die-hard fanatic supposed to feel about zeitgeist, the newest offering from billy corgan and jimmy chamberlain?

it's brilliant, utterly brilliant, just because billy has finally let his inner rock-demon out to play. there's no self-absorption on this record [well, there is, but such a minute amount for mr. corgan that i consider it all but irrelevant].

a few of the songs remind me of previous b-side tracks like "the end is the beginning is the end," but i'm willing to forgive him the occasional recycling of riffs for a damn good wall of guitar wailing.

oh, and jimmy chamberlain = divine drumming machine. that's just a fact. he and dave grohl need to fight it out on a set. i would pay good money to watch that.

i'll be seeing said pumpkins in november, compliments of a generous red-head. i'll let you know how the live show compares to the album.

and for those of you who are from law school out in TV-land, fasten your seat belts. 2L year is just around the corner and that means fall oci. and fall oci means lots of medicinal bar tabs and rehabilitative sex & the city marathons.

i can't wait.
