In case you haven’t heard, The Smashing Pumpkins are holding drummer auditions in LA. Should I be packing my bags and shaving my head?

Yes.
Chad, are you still waiting for those STP auditions? I think have a demo tape of you singing “Plush” from 1992. I can FedEx it to San Fran… Just lemme know.
The money will be good but if you got the gig you’d have to play all those post Machina (post break up) Pumpkins songs. Those songs just don’t have “it.”
[...] been busy prepping for the big audition and haven’t had much time to blog …. BUT I did hit the record button whilst working out [...]
Ryan duuude, you are like way late…Levon Helm got the gig. He was playin’ that little guitar with 7 strings (it’s 8, and called a mandolin: ed) with “d’arcy” on her new alt country cd (“I’m a Little Bit D’arcy”, Bloodshot 0056) when Uncle Fester I mean the bald boss guy stopped by and said like whoah, and Levon said waaaalll I play the tubs, and dude, that was like all she wrote.
But I hear that Me 1st, the tribute spin revival thing is like lookin for a tubman, and Ryan, can you like hit the hihats and bass drum at the same time for about 6 hours? $476.79 a week, $22.76 per diem, all sheltered in an account in Bimini, and dude, we are talkin’ casinos up and DOWN the greater Mississippi River Valley, booked til April, 2054.
Always lookin out for my main man..
sounds great. throw in $100 worth of poker chips and tell me where to sign.
