so that’s how it is

I heard today that James Iha was now one of the guitarists in A Perfect Circle, and they have a full studio album coming out in September. It seems a bit weird, almost as if this was planned. Paz Lenchantin used to be the bassist for APC before Billy lured her away for Zwan.

I hate to get all emotional, but this kind of news gets me missing the Pumpkins. They were a great fucking band.

as the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight

About

Tales of a Scorched Earth is a personal weblog devoted to the critique of video games and game culture, but easily integrates other forms of consumable media. Here you will find independent analysis and opinions on video games, comfortably distanced from the industry at large. Updated at least bi-weekly, but more if I'm feeling particularly inspired.
