Artist: BILLY CORGAN

Despite her decade-long career as a solo artist, part-time Puscifer singer Carina Round isn't exactly a household name. Yet on her upcoming LP, Tigermending , the Los Angeles by-way-of England native managed to snag some pretty big names to lend their talents to the album, including Brian Eno , Billy Corgan , and Dave Stweart (Eurythmics). Both Eno and Stewart will appear on a track entitled "The Secret of Drowning," while Corgan guests on "Got To Go - The L.A Song - 2000 Years BC Mix" (I wonder if he came up with that title). [...]

Dot Hacker's members include the current guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but can the group live up to that legacy?

Didn't think 2011 was great for music? With my faves list, which contains alt. rock, electronic music, metal and more, hopefully you will think better of it and discover new favorites of your own.

Two alternative rock classics have been reissued as both single-disc bargains or expansive multidisc sets.

The Chicago Sun-Times is a funny little news organization. In the heyday of Swan Fungus (hard to believe it's over, eh?), their online edition syndicated a few of my blog posts. I don't know how it happened, or why it happened, but it did. Stop scratching your head, it's really not worth the mental strain. [...]

• Tara Jane O'Neil - Tea Is Better Than Poison

First he announced he was starting his own wrestling organisation... now he is moving in a more genteel direction...

Billy Corgan , el mítico y en ocasiones extravagante líder –y único componente, permitidme decid—de The Smashing Pumpkins ha vuelto a hablar de su banda para alabar la dirección que ésta está tomando. Como sabéis, el grupo se encuentra en una especie de periodo de incertidumbre, con su primer disco tradicional en años después de que decidieran tomar el duro camino de la distribución propia a través de Internet, algo donde no les ha ido muy bien y que en palabras de Corgan no ha tenido la repercusión que se [...]

Billy Corgan is one hell of a busy guy. He wants to write songs for Broadway , runs his ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ billy-corgan-opening-a-tea-sho p/59865/

Name: The Smashing Pumpkins Progress Report: Billy Corgan opens up about the recent Smashing Pumpkins reissues, the forthcoming Pumpkins album, and his own rather complicated musical legacy. Say what you will about Billy Corgan (and there is certainly plenty to say), the dude knows how to write great songs. It might be easy to question some of his choices in recent years - whether it be his side-projects , his solo record , his recent dalliance with pro wrestling , or the reconstituted Smashing Pumpkins band line-up - but [...]

O líder do Smashing Pumpkins afirmou recentemente ao jornal The New York Post que deseja compor para os espetáculos da Broadway. Billy Corgan salientou ainda que quer se dedicar para melhorar as próprias composições, antes de se inserir no trabalho. Por fim, destacou um ponto bastante revelante se levarmos em conta o trabalho frente ao Smashing Pumpkins . "Eu não permitiria que uma das minhas canções antigas fosse usada. Se eu for fazer algo para a Broadway, não escreverei músicas de rock de três acordes". Tá, mas hein?! O [...]

The Smashing Pumpkins están dando mucho de que hablar últimamente, aunque no se puede decir que todas las cosas que se dicen sean buenas. El grupo, o mejor dicho, Billy Corgan y la banda que ha reunido para esta ocasión, se encuentra enfrascado en una gira que hace poco les trajo por Madrid y que generó bastante polémica porque la banda se dejó algunos clásicos en el tintero. No soy de los que defienden que siempre haya que tocar todos los clásicos, y de hecho parece que Corgan tampoco. [...]

Billy Corgan , frontman degli Smashing Pumpkins , ha confessato il desiderio di voler scrivere brani per i musical teatrali di Broadway, e che in futuro potrebbe anche voler tentare di scrivere un suo intero spettacolo. Dalle pagine del NY Post ha dichiarato: «Voglio diventare un migliore scrittore di canzoni prima di provare Broadway, e non permetterei di far utilizzare una delle mie vecchie canzoni. Se mai arriverò a Broadway, non lo farò con canzoncine rock da tre accordi.» Una dichiarazione che potrebbe in qualche modo essere una frecciatina [...]

As volume-knob maximalists with tender hearts and thoroughly distorted guitars, the Big Pink are a logical act to be in the Smashing Pumpkins-cover game. Their take Siamese Dream 's " Mayonaise " dots their setlists, though they tidied up and delivered this rendition on a recent performance for BBC12s Live Lounge (their next record, Future This , is out via 4AD in January) . It's fine, though conspicuously missing is Billy Corgan's indelible Siamese -era X/Y chromosome swagger. The Big Pink's version is fine for hearing, but it will certainly make you pause to appreciate what a [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive , New Releases , Spinner Says Paul Bergen Every music snob has one story about seeing a soon-to-be-legendary band at a venue no bigger than a tour bus toilet, and here's mine. It was 1991 -- the year punk broke! -- and I was a 16-year-old stranded, as I saw it then, in the cultural wasteland of suburban New Jersey. It had been less than a [...]

Due le occasione per i fans degli Smashig Pumkins di gustarsi on stage "le zucche" del rock americano . Billy Corgan (voce e chitarra), Jeff Schroeder (chitarra), Mike Byrne (batteria) e Nicole Fiorentino (basso) suoneranno infatti domani, lunedì 28 dicembre, al Forum di Assago a Milano e martedì 29 al Palafabris di Padova. Gli Smashing Pumpkins, pur con qualche ombra, restano pur sempre una delle band fondamentali degli ultimi vent'anni.

Mientras Billy Corgan sigue preparando el lanzamiento de Oceania , noveno álbum de estudio de The Smashing Pumpkins , el cantante dijo que considera a Siamese Dream (1993) como "uno de los mejores" . En una entrevista en BBC Radio 1 , Corgan dijo sobre Siamese Dream : "aunque no fue el que más vendió, se convirtió en uno de los mejores. Siamese Dream es un disco muy oscuro, pero [...]
