I just had to post this one! Shannen and me were watching the Smashing Pumpkins – Pinkpop 2007 DVD tonight, when Shannen suddenly cried out: \"THAT’S US!!!\". And yeah, it’s us indeed… For 2 seconds jumping up and down like crazy in front of the camera, rocking out on Da Pumpkins!

A bargain! And it is the missing link of my collection, so I bought it IMMEDIATELY!

(uhm, not really )

[Arthur]

i would like to have it, but cool as ice cream is right, there will be more.[/quote:26iushwh]
Exactly. Those promos run into the hundreds normally, so we will all get our fair share. Just be patient.

manillascissor for president!

and all the SPfreaks girls for his running mates!

Man, we would hear Pumpkins music in the White House all the time, can you imagine? I’m sure it would save the world. And if not, we had the Pumpkins anyway!

Forgive me, just a silly thought…

video postcards

http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_10907

i guess there will be ten with clips from the dvd- really short ones.[/quote:1efyxswg]
I’m afraid these things don’t hype me up much… The dvd itself does however, so I don’t really need these snippet things called video postcards. Just my humble opinion, but I’m looking forward way more to the preview of the whole dvd in Gent with my girlfriend and 2 of the beloved SPfreaks fellows. Yeah!

[Arthur]

i really want to meet you again, without having a heavy cold.
and i’ve never met shannen, sven and milan.

CRAP!
i don’t really mind not being able to see the documentary, but it’s a real shame that i won’t meet all of you.

i have to go to london though. i won’t see my girlfriend for 7 weeks after that weekend.[/quote:2zyyfltm]
Of course she is priority. Even the 4 of us AND the Smashing Pumpkins movie preview couldn’t beat her.

[Arthur]

Thanks, I’m flattered. Last last last one then, and now I’m off to bed.

before dark
it is evening
close to the morning
it is night
those
are the times
that loneliness
falls upon me
that melancholy
attacks me
that doubts
are so strong
and don’t go away
without any reason
actually

[Arthur]

This one should be in the poetry thread, but I like to post it here.

Politician

hollow words
in a hollow room
they sound impressive, don’t they

[Arthur]

Last one, i liked this one very much when I wrote this. Still makes me smile a little.

I want to write a little
some poetry or something
nothing special
just some words
but I seem to fail
my pen is against me
but what do I say:
I’m already at line eight!
OK, let me write a little
some poetry or something
nothing heavy
but something that makes you smile
I’m afraid I’m going nowhere
my fantasy has gone
but hey, look at this:
I’m already here, just like that!
so, I wrote a little after all
some poetry or something
but it has to end somewhere too
and that will be now

[Arthur]

Seen on the latest car show:

the new Honda Harakiri
it refuses to hit the gas
in a dirty environment

the Renault Question
it asks every 10 minutes
\"why didn’t you take public transport?\"
then it starts announcing
all bus timetables
and the next trainstations

finally, from Russia:
the Lada Applestroika
it takes fruit juice
for gas

(OK, maybe not a real poem, but hey, I wrote this when I was 15-16 years old )

Children In Time

a village close to the beach
the sky is grey
and the wind is hard
when we start our journey

I look around us
a drip on my nose
falls a circle in the water

almost careless
have the dunes
been thrown around in the salty water

I miss the seals
are they scared
of our group?

I wonder

behind us
the imprints
of wet footsteps

and in front of us
the unknown
that we will explore

the other side, of the sea

a strange feeling
forceful, so beautiful,
makes me stand still

I feel
a little
a child in time

[Arthur]

The Aftermath

in a passionate awakening
I saw your body
laying next to mine
in a deathwish
I posessed you
and in a whispering dream
our souls
looked at each other

I have been counting
the wrinkles in the sheets
all day

[Arthur]

It’s official.

Also, SP.com shows us a first example of the artwork that people send in.

[Arthur]

Bidding on this one, I hope you guys could leave me alone…

[/quote:q0wsmmok]

I allready own a copy of this baby.Good luck Arthur, you might need it since its sought for [/quote:q0wsmmok]
Somebody thinks it’s worth 59 EUR. Ah well, his luck. Bye bye promo, see you next time.

[Arthur]

I have a dark grey tee with a goat on it, 17 and a tree on the back. All in white imaging.
Does anyone else have this?
Do you know if its official or unofficial? [/quote:14dgzh5g]
I have that shirt too, I love it! It is one of my favourite Smashing Pumpkins shirts, next to the Zero shirt.

A Comfortable Hum & 4 thir13en Remixes

Here’s another little treat, with help & regards from good ol’ DJ \"Don’t Ya Love Them Treats?\" Dazey.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/nk832m

It are 5 rather unknown fanmade (but good!) remixes of Smashing Pumpkins tracks. Enjoy!

PS Dazey has to help me to credit A Comfortable Hum… Dazey?

[Arthur]

Haha excellent! [/quote:xkovu4gp]
Funny piece of work huh? I absolutely love those Smashing Pumpkins rarities!

[Arthur]

The more you order, the more discount you get. The whole set of live shows is for free, I presume.

[Arthur]

Yeah you are right, it’s official art, not fanmade. I found it on the homepage of SP.com, on the spot where they always highlight the most recent upload. Because it are always (?) fanmade pics I see there, I presumed this one is also fanmade. I seemed to be wrong here.

[Arthur]

And some fanmade artwork I found on sp.com. Not bad!

[Arthur]

I pre-ordered a couple of shows : Chicago 18 & 19 November.
I selected "France" in the shipping address, and I paid ~ $US39, so I suppose shipping is included ?!?
If I receive my cds one day… I will share it with you on this forum

(I’m sorry but my english language is…. )[/quote:1cchjwlg]
I’m VERY curious what they will look like. It makes the difference between buying none or all of them. (Yeah, I’m a collector )
