So, it was 5 years ago that I started this blog. Man. How time
really does fly. But I'm afraid, it’s time for me to shut up shop. I don’t have time to commit to maintaining
this here blog anymore. I mean, I know
its design is about on the level of SP.com these days (which almost gets the
prize for most poorly designed webpage in the universe, ever) so it’s not
exactly the most time-consuming endeavour. But, to be honest, I just don't have
the time. It really is as simple as that.
There’s no bad blood or any drama or any of that stuff...
It’s a
shame, in a way, because to be honest Jimmy’s career is on the cusp of
diversifying into a number of rather intriguing facets. His recent musical endeavours for example have again
thrown a fascinating insight into his work in Smashing Pumpkins and just how
remarkable a musician he is. But, alas,
I simply don’t have the time to wax lyrical about how Resolution of Purpose
recalls the bridge in Glass and the Ghost Children, or how in Psalm
for John he is able to conjure a feeling of rhythmical cohesion stronger
than some of his more distinctive, technical & busy beats, in an brilliant
exercise in restraint and sublime subtlety.
I must
say before I go though - to all those who were in and are still are in the SP
community - it’s been a blast. You might
catch me lurking in the last crumbling wreck of the online community (as long
as it still stands) and I might throw out a tweet or two (@drevpile)
if I happen to catch that Jimmy’s doing something particularly cool, but really, I'm
done.
So,
Jimmy, if you ever do stumble across this relic - thank you for your
music and thank you for being an inspiration.
But, for
now folks - until we meet beyond the beyond or at the BC/JC reunion show, I’m
out.
Cheers.
