In case you were wondering who all those other non-Pumpkins were in the “Superchrist” video, it features Gary and Sky Saxon from The Seeds on bass and tambourine, sexy nurses Linda Strawberry, Kristin Burns [the Pumpkins’ current photog], Hanna Beth [MySpace celeb, model], and Audrey Kitching [MySpace celeb, model/fashionista], the black angel Sasha Grey [adult performer] and violinist Ysanne Spevack.

In a MySpace blog written by the notorious Sasha Grey [pictured at right with Gary Seed Stern], she tells us what we already knew about the SuperChrist video - that it was done in a couple of takes:

After appearing in the album artwork for Zeitgeist last summer, I was asked to be a part of the Smashing Pumpkins new music video Superchrist! The video debuts tomorrow February 27th, on the Pumpkins website. Superchrist will be part of an exclusive compilation CD available only at Guitar Center outlets March 1st. The video was a lot of fun to shoot, done very simply and with only four or so takes. You can also see the advertisement on smashingpumpkins.com (more info under news section).

The music video has been picked up by several newsmedia outlets already. A couple of laughter-inspiring reviews:

from Stereogum:

We’ll spare you a little confusion over this video up front: No, those hirsute has-beens playing bass and tambourine aren’t in the Smashing Pumpkins. For that matter, “SuperChrist” isn’t even a song that appears on Zeitgeist. But this clip is making us wish both of those statements were true. “SuperChrist” is a Pumpkins tune that never made it to Billy and Jimmy’s last LP, instead seeing release on a CD “featuring bands staffed by employees of Guitar Center.” The Pumpkins chose the acts for the album, which according to Billboard will be available at Guitar Center outlets March 1st (ask a hirsute has-been staffer for it by name). Of the track’s delayed release, Billy says the band “didn’t … under[stand] the song and thought playing it on tour would help us sort it out” because of its “psychedelic” properties, which makes sense but also is sad because if “SuperChrist”’s spare, heavy riffing sat alongside the more classic Pumpkins excellence of “That’s The Way (My Love Is)” maybe we would’ve been nicer about the album. (Probably not. But point is, we like it.)

from Cameraphonic:

Not really sure what to make of this video after one time through, but thats definitely the kind of party I wouldn’t mind being invited to.

Amen. I want to join the party, too.

Kerry Brown and Billy spent time earlier this month collaborating with Sky Saxon and the Seeds on some totally psychedelic garage rock. Choose to choose love, man.
