Zeitgeisty!

I haven't listened to the new Smashing Pumpkins album mostly because I don't really like the band. But this post isn't about my somewhat extreme hatred of Billy Corgan's vocal performances on 97% of his recordings. Well, ok. Maybe it is a little bit.

The Seattle Stranger posted this hilarious satire of the Smashing Pumpkins frontman. This is basically what I imagined him to sound like in my mind.

My favorite part:
This band has always been the headlight on the barreling locomotive of modern youth; with a title like Zeitgeist, nobody can argue. I brought back original Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain—recovered and reverent of yours truly, he's the epitome of a new leaf turned over—plus another chick bassist and some new guitar guy. Zeitgeist (Say it! It feels good!) arrives this week, in four different forms: The Best Buy version is different from the Target version is different from the iTunes version, which is different from everyone else's version. Most zeits would've settled for a single geist, but ours demands more marketing strategies, so I offer it four.
