A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE SMASHING PUMPKINS : LIVE JULY 31, 2007
Welcome to A Day In The Life Of The Smashing Pumpkins!

Here, footage recorded on July 31st from the band's full day at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA will be made available for users of smashingpumpkins.com.
New videos will be uploaded every hour with content ranging from warm-ups, backstage banter, pre-show rituals, to whatever the camera may catch! No one ever knows what those Pumpkins will be up to, but now you'll get at least a glimpse of the magic that occurs before, during, and after each and every performance.

Think of it as a SUPER BLOG for a day!

And the pumpkin van is blasting the album.

haha.. nevermind.. I guess you had the whole "Live from the Fillmore" idea before the official site anyway.. with text instead of video updates

damn, the whole email newsletter that came out today was remarkebly competent for the normal crack team of monkeys they have doing stuff.

i like this PumpkinsMediaMilitia.....finally pumpkins get their just deserves. not just this, but myspace, live earth, the tv adds, the billboards. pretty awesome imo.

I was able to get tickets for the 30th and the 1st, but not the 31st... it figures. I blamed it on my ineptitude at juggling multiple ticket master windows; but between this promotion and the free ticket giveaway, I'm wondering if they held a certain number of tickets back?

They should fuck with us and play cherry/frail and bedazzled/geek usa during the rehearsals.

I honestly think that they are juggling around too many contests and promotions at once. At the same time we have the residency DVD, the Tarantula video contest, the Ask Smashing Pumpkins YouTube group, and whatever happened to posting videos of the Paris show? All this is being promised from a band that has yet to release a DVD of their "final" show that was discussed in 2001.

^ agreed.. it will be worth it we get to see Billy go ballistic backstage on July 31 and kill a roadie

Is this Gish Month for the new century?

Honestly, this shit might come off better because the record company's little lemmings seem to be a bit more...hands-on...in coordinating. i.e., it's being thought up/handled by people other than the band themselves.

I take it you've got to be a member of smashingpumpkins.com to view all of this "Day In The Life" stuff? I haven't felt compelled to do so before, but I guess I will now.

FINALLY they have a flickr account :)

Here is hoping for a cherry/frail and bedazzled/mayo sound check. That would be a little nugget for the fans.

damnit come on!

I'd start killing whatever/whoever came near me if my Les Paul ended up like that....

oh my god...now billy is wearing capri pants. jesus christ, what are these guys trying to start? The nadal of the music world...

I'm not sure if you have to be a member actually.. guess we'll find out tomorrow.. they haven't really explained how they're going to be showing the videos.. maybe just a bunch of embedded youtube links?

maybe just a bunch of embedded youtube links?

probably.

lol, I think they are just cargo pants not capris, you know the ones with those bottoms that you can unzip off, and he's been wearing them since the beginning of the tour

not sure, but it looks like it *might* say 'ginger sling' or 'ginger reyes' ? i'm not sure though. definitely looks like the word ginger is on there though, hah.

lol, I think they are just cargo pants not capris, you know the ones with those bottoms that you can unzip off, and he's been wearing them since the beginning of the tour

That picture made my day, they seem so happy to be on the road again...

"On the road again..." da-da-da-da-da "...on the road again."

I'm half korean, but I can't read what Jeff's picks say. Its too fuzzy. If someone get me a clearer picture, I can have my cuz translate.

Someone said ginger does throw picks.. And she said they say ginger reyes.. Bc probably wouldn't want her advertising her other stage name.. Could jeff's pick say jeff schroeder? Probably hard to write that with korean characters? I'm sure someone on here has his pick..post a pic of the pick. :)

I vote ginger to be the 1st one to quit! She seems so bored on stage.

they do say his name, i posted a comment on the pumpkinmediamelisha asking what it says, and said it was his name.

haha, a.k.a. d'arcy!!!

Naw, just kidding. I have to agree somewhat. But I like 'er, so I don't want her to quit =)

sweet lord i love those socks

Nothing up on the site yet.. maybe we'll see some action around noon.. I think the band has been showing up around 11am.. unless they're going to post footage of them practicing in their hotel rooms, as Jeff said they do.. that could be cool

I want footage of first shit of the morning. How great would it be to have a camera while billy and jimmy shit side by side. love to hear the conversation there...

lazy asses probably haven't gotten up outta bed yet, lol.

I wonder if this comment means he is going to post video from the afterparty for last night's show? that was technically on july 31.. hopefully ginger is involved

geez guys, at least give me a second to edit the videos!!!!!!! ;D

What do you think I of the Morning is about?

"THE VIDEOS ARE BEING PREPARED AT THIS VERY MOMENT! "

what after party?

almost 2... nothing yet.

Of course this was going to be a disaster...

what after party?

beats me, just wishful thinking on my part

it's 11am there, they're probably just getting up. this is going to be so much fun, we get to see how much more our days suck than theirs. i wrote a methods section and ate tricolor pasta today - beat that.

bolly? who the hell is bolly?

Really, though... as often as that whole thing is used... to think that all came from one simple typo is pretty uncanny. I remember being in that chat and fully cracking up when James came back with that - comic gold.

Hoping for some new tidbits .

Almost 3pm est.... ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.....

what after party?

I don't know you could call it a "party" but there was a "VIP gathering" in the venue about 1:45am last night. People seemed excited. They didn't let me stay though, haha.

WHERE R THE UPDATES????!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

the boredom is palpible

So THAT'S WHAT what that popping was, it was the balloons! I just watched the Media Militia CD release party video. Haha, I thought that those were fireworks or something on the bootleg.

wow Billy didn't really go big on Jeff's hotel.. I guess for 3 weeks the cost can add up

Yeah, Jeff is cool. He's awesome. I only watched it twice and paused it once when he pulled out the vinyl, and was it Radiohead's OK Computer? I may be mistaken, but at the three glances I had, that's what it kinda looked like.

Fuck, Jeff is cool.

just don't expect him to be like that when you see him in person.. you'll only see the back of his head and a wave

He seems pretty cool

fairly reserved guy......likes looking at Alcatraz when he wakes up :)

nah. it's the same one that's in front in the shot before that. looks like two guys in white suits.

the other two that are visible are Sixteen Tambourines by The Three O'Clock and Satin Chickens by Rhinoceros.

Satin Chickens by Rhinoceros.

sine! they're going to bust it out tonight or tomorrow.. either that or maybe they'll play "Today"?

oh, there's also The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott-Heron.

Thanks for the clairification.

Jeff's awesome.

oh sweeeet

The books I could pick out (if anyone cares):

Ascension: John Coltrane and His Quest by Eric Nisenson
Specters of Marx: The State of the Debt, The Work of Mourning & the New International by Jacques Derrida
1968: The Year That Rocked the World by Mark Kurlansky
Atonement: A Novel by Ian McEwan
A Course in Miracles

I really want to know what Billy is reading!

Hahah. Jeff's reading Derrida. Silly Comp Lit people.

haha. from the preview frame i thought jeff was smoking a joint.

Morning with Billy writing a song (The Rose March) in his hotel room.

what a beautiful song

I bet that Ginger and Lisa are in bra and panties having a pillow fight.... and Jeff, Billy and Jimmy are on ladders watching them through the widow.

It's be cooler if they were on horseback.

all you need is Gooch. (Gooch is all you need.)

is Jeff the new band spokesperson or what? these videos need some Ginger stat.. at least they are semi-keeping with their hourly schedule.. skipping 1 hour and then releasing 2 videos simultaneously.. I think the next video is late though.. unless its still updating on youtube

also, these videos are clearly not from today based on the weather on the day of filming.. didn't they say something about "live from the fillmore"?

i wondered about the timeframe too. if you take billy "writing" the song... it could mean he's working on it, making changes. but if it means that was the original writing... then that's a previous day.

Billy and Jeff sharing music :D

I thought we were bad :rofl:

haha, I like how billy is like, "I got these for me :dead: but you can rip them if you want :love: "

yeah he is basically promoting stealing music there.. after all his complaints about the fans stealing his own music.. nice!

i like how we got some footage of ginger but she was inaudible

i also like how billy says "i thought we were bad" with the long jams.. at least he knows it

yeah he is basically promoting stealing music there.. after all his complaints about the fans stealing his own music.. nice!

No kidding...its brutal hearing him whine about people downloading the album at every show. I get his point, but really...

7 shades?!

neat-o.

Jeff really is a cool guy. I hope by the Fall shows he talks more. HAha, him talking about breaking his guitar! And Jimmy looking through the telescope...priceless. These vids aren't half bad, they need about 20 more though.

ps. GO JEFF!
pps. Can't wait for the "Ginger After-Show Shower"

I'm probably gonna have to toss a wedding ring to jeff at the Normal show.

(omgz I'm going all Fish on you!!)

*cough*

Yeah, there could have been more vids, but I guess there really isn't much to a day in the life of the Pumpkins... heh heh heh

ginger is short and fucking hot

jeff walks kinda hunched like bc

jeff walks kinda hunched like bc


it cannot be taught. that's how they knew he was a pumpkin.

I want to know what CD Billy bought that has the 20-25 minute jams. Hopefully Grateful Dead or Phish.

Phish.

SO the rumors are true... :noway:

Ginger's in way over her head in this band. She's not long for SP me thinks.

that's what i thought... she doesn't seem to connect... maybe bring back melissa

SO the rumors are true... :noway:


well played

DEFINITELY bring back Melissa...

though she's working on her new album--seems to be done, just record company problems

(www.xmadmx.com <--- pluuuuuug!)

Anyway, as much as I really do like Ginger, she just seems way too shy =((

can anyone read what's on Ginger's picks? I dont think she ever throws them..




she threw one at the end of the 7/27 show and i caught it in midair.
it's lost in the mess of my car right now. i'll have to dig it up soon.

cool.. someone said it says "Ginger Reyes" but I would still appreciate a nice close-up scan of it... one for Jeff's pick would be nice too if anyone can oblige

apparently there are a lot more videos.. maybe this will turn into "a week in the life of the smashing pumpkins" by the time they get them posted..

hell no they aren't live!

This was all filmed on the 30th.
I have done everything possible to get these up asap. Obviously there is some lag and I haven't gotten them all up yet, but you haven't even seen half of the vids yet. You have all been so patient! Soon, I will once again have a chance to sleep! Band is about to go on!

how hard is it to upload videos and put 'em on youtube?

For cryin' out loud...

(I'm half-joking--I really don't care XD Spread out the fun!)

:s
