If I were to make a top ten list of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs "Zero" would be at the top… which might be one reason I fell instantly in love with Le Castle Vania's "Zero Machine." It's kinda obvious this track samples the Pumkins song pretty heavily — right down to the "Wanna go [...]
Billboard reports Guitar Hero World Tour will premiere the new Pumpkins single "G.L.O.W." (along with a playable Billy avatar) when it is released this fall, giving superfans a few months to figure out how to created pirated MP3s from tracks on Guitar Hero World Tour . Good luck everybody.~~
I seem to be on a very geeky tract lately. First Weird Al, then Dr. Horrible, Dark Knight and now, Watchmen. This is one of the greatest graphic novels ever created. Period. And the guys who did 300 are making it into a film. I've sort of been withholding judgment on it for a little while, but now that I've seen footage and pictures, man, I can't wait. ..From amazon.com:The story concerns a gro...
Lo and behold, Billy Corgan found time apart from his 20th anniversary staged exorcisms to make a video. It's for "G.L.O.W ," which still isn't sung by the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling. There are some fairly impressive get ups, though (see Billy's Sunn O)))/Lawrence Of Arabia /Jawa threads, etc.), plus flashing lights and smeary cupcakes. Remember, "G.L.O.W." is the first song ever recorded exc...
Tonight marks day two of the Smashing Pumpkins performances at Constitution Hall in DC. Also in DC are Colour Revolt and Rose Hill Drive who play DC9 while Diplo's tour rolls into town at the Black Cat with No Age, Abe Vigoda, 8 Bit Boy, and Telepathe. Over at the Velvet Lounge, The Sounds of [...]
A Smashing Pumpkins reunion with the band's original line-up is not looking good, folks. (Sorry Gish fans).Yesterday former and founding members of the alternative rock band -- James Iha and D'Arcy Wretzky-Brown -- slapped Virgin Records with a lawsuit, claiming they were overlooked in royalties for music downloads and other digital media (I'm thinking ringtones and etc). They are demanding a ...
Billy Corgan has been saying for a while that he planned for the next Smashing Pumpkins release to be something different than the traditional album format. In a lengthy post on SmashingPumpkins.com, Corgan announced Wednesday that the next "album" from the band will be made up of 44 songs given away for free online over the next year of so. The songs will be occasionally compiled into physical...

While they fight for artistic integrity and fall more and more into 1990's obscurity, the Smashing Pumpkins have announced that they will be heading out on a intimate August run and a not so intimate 20th Anniversary tour in November. The tours will sort of serve as a warm-up to that Gish tour everyone has been hoping for, which has now been pushed back to early 2009.While the intimate August r...
To capture the mood of our times with the album cover for ZEITGEIST—the forthcoming album by THE SMASHING PUMPKINS—the band turned to acclaimed Obey Giant graphic designer and illustrator Shepard Fairey. After being given the album’s title to work with, Fairey came up with a haunting image: it’s a red, black and white illustration of a drowning Statue of Liberty, positioned in front of the

One time through the first new Smashing Pumpkins album in seven years, it only makes me appreciate Siamese Dream that much more. That album was absolutely lightning in a bottle. And it's probably not fair to to compare everything Billy has done since to that record, but such is life. Nothing really grabbed me as I listened...its just sort of...ok. I am sure there will be a ton of reviews in the...
