American Idol: Smashing Pumpkins Edition

Have you ever watched American Idol and thought, “If this show were for drummers, I’d SO be going to Hollywood”? All it took was his entire band quitting, but Billy Corgan has finally heard your plea. A press release from “the band” dropped today, saying that Jimmy Chamberlin replacement auditions will be held on April 10 in Los Angeles. Drummers willing to towel off Chamberlin’s crotch sweat and take their place at the throne “should send their background info, photos and performance web links via email only to: pumpkinsdrummer@gmail.com.”

Jimmy couldn’t “just cash the check,” but maybe you’re up for it. Better go out and buy a copy of Zeitgeist now though ‘cause you only have 264 hours left to learn the new songs.
