"I Return to You Now, at the Turn of the Tide."
Well i will be goddamned. The Smashing Pumpkins might actually reunite. This would be the most amazing comeback since Gandalf returned as Gandalf the White. And, they're going to be playing at Coachella, which is an amazing music festival out in middle of the Southern California desert. Last time i was there, Beck played an acoustic, all request set to an overcrowded tent full of people, the Pixies rocked the place, and Radiohead closed out the night on an unbelievably high note. Pretty awesome times with PJ, Lauren, and Gen. Then, in the parking lot, it took us literally three hours to move ten feet, so we said "fuck it" and slept in the lot that night. Good times, good times.
Now, my favorite band - ever - might actually return. For me, this is better than Jesus coming back and starting up the thousand years of peace or war or whatever the fuck's supposed to happen.
I still remember the first time i heard about The Smashing Pumpkins. It was from Kenny Levya. He pulled out a copy of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and showed it to me. I remember holding the double cd and being confused. I had never seen a cd like that before. And the name intrigued me. It was 1995 and i was 14 years old. For some reason, i had been almost completely oblivious to music at that point. I owned Dookie and Smash, and those were awesome cds. But Mellon Collie was something else. Melodic, yet hard. It was awesome. Due to that one moment in history, almost certainly completely insignificant to Kenny, i am who i am.
Man, that was ten years ago. Good god.

It has been brought to my attention that there's nothing "funny" on this site. Therefore, i'm going to put up some amazing links. The first is to a real life pokemon battle. That's kinda funny. The second is to a classic scene from Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, but with a twist. The third is to something from a recent episode of SNL that, against all odds, doesn't suck. Fourth, Real Ultimate Power. You pretty much have to go there to understand. Explore the site. I recommend going to "pump up" and reading . . . whatever it is you find there. The site was shown to me by my friend Zachar, the most amazing person ever. Fifth, a parody of Real Ultimate Power made by my friend Laurence. I hope you find some of this stuff amusing.
