Jimmy's Love Letters .6
Hello again!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. We have been very busy carving up the sonic landscape with oceans of guitars and a sea of fuzz bass. We are four songs deep and about a hundred guitars in! Every day is a little louder and every night is a little darker! Last night for instance, we were working on a song...a very beautiful simple song we had been playing since we got back together. A song that was never questioned because of its poignant simplicity. Suddenly, Billy looked up and said that he thought we should try to find something else in the song. A different feel. A new approach. Something besides drums, bass and guitar. We had Bo' (our assistant) bring in an old organ to see if that would change the vibe. Instantly the song was transported to a new place . A place of symphonic majesty that made us all smile.

It's really moments like these that make it all worth it.
Sometimes you just have to ask the question...........
At any rate, it sure was nice to play something quiet for a change!

I've always loved Billy Corgan and the smashing pumpkins, including Zwan. i live in SF, but am a chicago girl at heart. recently i discovered Adore, and am in a whole new place. I can't wait to hear what is up next for the band. As a longtime smashing pumpkins fan, i'm glad that i didn't listen to adore back in the day because it means even more to my life right now. i love finding music that is ahead of its time, and that's what adore is to me. i can't wait to hear what smashing pumpkins have up next...

Wow, someone with a user number lower than my own.

Great to know you're in the studio. I'll have to read more about it.

Merry Xmas.

Sounds awesome. Can't wait to hear what you guys have been up to.

You better tour New Zealand again after you promised(!!!) to come back and never did!

Bad bad Pumpkins!

Looking forward to the record, guys. Hope it's going well. :)
