Enige maanden geleden verscheen deze advertentie in een dagblad in Chicago:
‘When I played the final Smashing Pumpkins show on the night of December 2, 2000, I walked off the stage believing that I was forever leaving a piece of my life behind. I naively tried to start a new band, but found that my heart wasn’t in it. I moved away to pursue a love that I once had but got lost. So I moved back home to heal what was broken in me, and to my surprise I found what I was looking or. I found that my heart is in Chicago, and that my heart is in the Smashing Pumpkins. ‘For a year now I have walked around with a secret, a secret I chose to keep. But now I want you to be among the first to know that I have made plans to renew and revive the Smashing Pumpkins. I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams. In this desire I feel I have come home again.’
En in december verscheen dit bericht op blog.myspace.com/billycorgan de volgende aankondiging:
Patience, Patience…. The surprise I have in store for you all will be announced soon enough….hold on to your horses. Afterall, good things surely comes to those who wait….Don’t you just love the suspense? Love, bc
Dus mijn song of the day van vandaag is van PJ Harvey – C’mon Billy…
