YO, L.A. drummers! Like Smashing Pumpkins? Wanna be one?

Smashing Pumpkins -- a.k.a. Billy Corgan -- are -- uh, is -- auditioning for a new drummer in Los Angeles on April 10.

(I'd link to the official site, but it doesn't seem to be working.)


ETA: Jeff and Stewart, maybe you should try out. Imagine the hilarity that would ensue.

Billy's been acting really weird lately. Jimmy finally had enough and said he could no longer just "cash the paycheck."

Remember when Kenny Arnoff was the drummer for the Pumpkins for a short while? That was a weird fit.

I wonder if the audition request requires that you look vaguely like Jimmy, then the vague cloning of the original lineup from a distance for those who didn't see them the first time around would be almost complete...

I suppose he at least hasn't done crossed the line of the truly tacky in enlisting a keyboard player who looks like Jonathan did...
