Mellon Collie and the Infinite Grey Sky

Been listening to Smashing Pumpkins a lot recently.  I forgot how much I absolutely love Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.  Have had “Jellybelly” on repeat for a while.  Was just walking back from lunch, air drumming along with Jimmy Chamberlin.  What an amazing track.   I’m a 30-year old “professional” drummer and am actually moved to flail my arms about in public when it’s on.  That’s compelling music-making.

Shame about the life-ruining heroin addiction, though.

    I also recently listened to Siamese Dream for the first time in probably almost a decade. I love that album.

    Yeah, Geek USA and Jellybelly are pretty much one-two for me in the canon of Jimmy Chamberlin. Have I recommended Machina to you before? The songwriting is pretty mediocre but the drumming is still top notch to my ears.

    There’s also The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex which I just bought and am still digesting.
