хорошее интервью
цитата:
"Somebody like me is still supposed to represent some value that doesn't mean anything anymore. Personally, I wish those values could mean something. I wish there was a reason to uphold those values across the board culturally, because I thought those were good values to have. I think the values that great artists like Kurt Cobain and Neil Young and Johnny Cash all represented, those were important.
цитата:
"I took a lot of inspiration from those artists, and many others, who had great ethics and great concepts of ethics; those are all gone now. Basically, people talk about the ethics, but they don't mean anything anymore. I still hear that and feel that, but it doesn't have anything to do with the survival and the future of The Smashing Pumpkins, which is ultimately what I have to be concerned about.
цитата:
"So I'm happy to be in a place where I sort of just stuck my flag in the sand and said, 'OK, this is what I'm going to do for the next three or four years - like it, don't like it, it's cool. And because I've placed the core of my energy back on music, and not on all the other stuff I used to worry about, including having a dysfunctional band…or two…I feel like that's put me back at the center of my ethics - not somebody's opinion of what it should be like.

Pumpkins’ pre-show sets for “first 20 or so people in line”
June 23, 2010
So says Billy Corgan, in a pair of tweets this evening:
Here is some SP news…first 20 or so people in line at each up-coming shows get to come in for the souncheck pre-show set. All new songs!
New songs meaning songs recently written with the band + not yet recorded. With maybe an oldie for fun.We’ll play probably for a half hour.
Corgan also noted that he will be continuing his advocacy for the band Rush on Friday when its members receive a star in the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard.
UPDATE:
In additional tweets, Corgan says that longtime Chicago glam rockers Kill Hannah will tour in support of the Smashing Pumpkins along with Bad City, and that the next Teargarden by Kaleidyscope song “will definitely be out for the tour.”

“A Note from Billy” on original band, recent band, latest band
10:28 pm // Thursday, June 24, 2010
Billy Corgan has posted a letter to fans in advance of the Smashing Pumpkins’ upcoming tour. Corgan speaks both about the long-ago and recent history of his band, and he praises tour-supporting acts Kill Hannah and Bad City.
The letter is light on news, though Corgan does announce that the next Teargarden by Kaleidyscope song will be released on July 6, coinciding with the first scheduled date of the tour.

письмо всё так же несёт в себе заряд собственной правоты и уверенности в том, что Корган делает на данном этапе своей жизни. Впрочем, это можно отнести к любым из его интервью за последние несколько лет, особенно за последний прошедший год.
посмотрим, что там за новая песня выйдет.

June 30 Smashing Pumpkins concert in L.A. announced, sells out
As the venue had hinted over the past few days via Twitter, the Smashing Pumpkins will give a concert at the small Viper Room in West Hollywood this coming Wednesday. Tickets for the event went on sale this morning with no advance announcement, and they are sold out. This is now set to be the first date on the Pumpkins’ incipient U.S. tour.

Smashing Pumpkins hope fans, radio will “Freak” for next single
The song “Freak” will ship digitally to Modern and Active Rock radio on July 6 courtesy of Martha Music/CO5 Music, and the official impact date will be July 20.
“Freak” will be the fifth song released for the Pumpkins’ Teargarden by Kaleidyscope album, and the first since the band’s release of the first physical EP from that project. Like the four previous Teargarden tracks, “Freak” was performed by the Billy Corgan-led band Spirits in the Sky during live performances in California last summer. The song received particular notice by being the only Corgan original played at the first Spirits performance, a short set during a multi-act memorial concert for deceased Seeds frontman Sky Saxon.

“Now it’s time to start living this album in public.”
Billy Corgan has given a phone interview to John Soeder of the Cleveland Plain Dealer in advance of next week’s sold-out Smashing Pumpkins concert at that city’s House of Blues. An excerpt:
[John Soeder:] Why are you taking the new lineup on tour at this point?
[Billy Corgan:] I really want us just to play and come together as a band.
Up to this point, the songs were written more in a test tube. They weren’t really written in a band construct. With the new songs I’m writing now, I’m back to writing how I used to write, where I’m writing with the band. I bring in songs every day and we’re rehearsing them and people say “I like that” or “What do you think about that?” or “Can we change that?”
Basically, the band becomes the feedback machine, and their playing and their excitement have everything to do with the way the music turns out. Right away, this unit is giving me that same feeling that I used to get with the original band. I get that really immediate excitement for the material, and it seems to elevate the material.
I’m really excited for the fans to see this lineup of the band. I think this is a very credible lineup, as far as an organic band. It’s not just like we put some people together to play the songs. I really believe this is going to be a band here.
[John Soeder:] Everyone is looking for the new music-industry paradigm. Do you feel good about your approach?
[Billy Corgan:] I do.
When we were younger . . . you would release your record, you would be on MTV or whatever and then after some point people would just want you to go away. Like, "I need a break from you guys."
Those days are over. You need to be virtually present.
There's so much going on that you can't afford to go away for two years
This approach is more consistent with what artists are into. They just want to play, and they want to be involved.
Also, time has become level. I meet 15-year-olds and I'm like, "What are you listening to?" They're like, "Led Zeppelin, the Cure, the Killers." They're not thinking, "They're from the past."
They're all from the past, and they're all from the future.
New-look Smashing Pumpkins start world tour at Los Angeles club
Sometime after 8pm PT tonight, Billy Corgan will take the mic in front of 250 onlookers at the Viper Room on Sunset Strip to warm up for/kick off the first Smashing Pumpkins tour since 2008. He’ll be backed by the brand-new rhythm section of bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne, with guitarist Jeff Schroeder — a veteran by now of 160-some Pumpkins gigs since the band’s revival — still standing at stage left.
This post will be updated with the most significant items that turn up over the course of the night. None of the HU bloggers are on scene, but we’re monitoring the Internets for news and have been assembling a list of Twitter users who will be attending the concert.
There will not be a soundcheck performance for invited fans tonight, nor will tour-supporting bands Kill Hannah and Bad City appear. According to the Viper Room site, preshow entertainment will be provided by Los Angeles bartender/bass player DJ Jamie Scrap.

группа отыграла первый концерт своего стартующего мирового турне
цитата:
30.06.2010 - Viper Room; West Hollywood, CA, US
Set:
•Astral Planes •Ava Adore •Hummer •As Rome Burns •A Song for a Son •Bleeding the Orchid •Stand Inside Your Love •Bullet with Butterfly Wings •Widow Wake My Mind •Perfect •Owata •Cherub Rock •That's the Way (My Love Is) •United States •Love Is the Sweetest Thing [Ray Noble] (abandoned)
The Smashing Pumpkins played the rather small stage at L.A.’s Viper Room as a warm up to their upcoming tour. The show was sold out as expected, and photographer Andrew Youssef (who celebrated his birthday by taking these shots of the show) says the newest lineup was pretty good. That’s including the band’s 20-year-old drummer Mike Byrne.
The band played a mix of old and new Smashing Pumpkins, though there was one big omission. Youssef says the show was going well until Billy Corgan took out a ukulele for a solo on new song “Love Is.” The crowd wouldn’t quiet down, so they band cut their set short, without playing “Today.”
They also cut out their new single “Freak,” (from their huge Teargarden By Kaleidyscope project).

мне вот барабаны похеру. вот запилы Коргана в Аве Адор звучит ужасно, вообще словно не в тему. мне вообще не нравиться. мне кажется Корган стал перебарщивать с ними, типа показывает какой он виртуоз, а песня из-за этого страдает. все естественно ИМХО.
