According to a post on SmashingPumpkins.com, longtime drummer – Jimmy Chamberlin – has left the band. No explanation for Chamberlin’s departure was given and only Billy Corgan remains from the original lineup. The note also mentions that Corgan “will continue to write and record as Smashing Pumpkins with plans to head into the studio this spring.”
As always, we’ve got a fresh batch of links to kick off the week…
- The Shuttle Discovery crew awoke to Box of Rain on Friday
- Andy Gadiel remembers Zero’s Chester’s run 11 years later

Finally, Neil Young shared the track list for his long-awaited Archives Volume 1 project and we’re shocked with the amount of previously released material in the set. We do like that you don’t have to buy the complete box set if there are certain discs you don’t want or have already purchased. Head over to Thrasher’s Wheat for more details on discussion.
