Smoke up, Stoner!

For the second time since I have lived in this area, I pulled up to a stop light and looked over at the car next to me and saw a high-school aged kid smoking pot. It was 7:45 AM, and this kid was smokin reefer from a pipe that would have made Cheech and Chong proud. It was massive, brightly colored, and probably held a giant pile of doobie. Wacky kids, I tell ya. At least he was a passenger, and not a driver.

On a completely non pot-related topic, I bought the new album from The Smashing Pumpkins that came out today, titled "Zeitgeist". So far, I really dig it. I have pretty much always liked the Pumpkins, and this one is classic Pumpkins. I pre-ordered the album on iTunes, so I got a bunch of other free stuff along with the album, including a few covers of Pumpkin songs by other bands. Pumpkins songs are just not Pumpkin songs without Chamberlain. It just does not work for me at all without the true master on the skins.

I wouldn't call Smashing Pumpkins news COMPLETELY non-pot related...

I was thinking about checking out the new Pumpkins album. Is it similar to Siamese Dream?

It actually has a little of everything on it. It's sort of a mix album, I guess. It has a bunch of hard stuff, but it also has some of the zwan-y stuff too.

It is definitely more 90's rock than the current mix of stuff on the average alt radio station.
