""May God bless and keep you always/ May your wishes all come true/ May you always do for others/ And let others do for you," Corgan sang as he glanced around the studio, eyeing the colorful props and sharing smiles with Wizzo the Wizard."

Anyway, as a long time Smashing Pumpkins/Corgan fan who tries not to let sucha fact cloud his judgement, I have to say that this album is thoroughly a hit and miss affair. It has IMO one really great song (The Camera Eye), four or five solid songs, with the rest being a mix of below average or absolutely atrocious. Right now I'd give it around a 6 or 7 out of 10, which may move up or down once I've given it more of a listen.
Anyway, it at least gives me hope that his next solo album could be great...actually ffs, REUNITE THE PUMPKINS, SLUT!!!

Based on his various appearances at the Sky Saxon tribute show last night:
1) his Little Rascals/Jughead fashion sense is one of the smarter choices he's made (or is that Huntz Hall he's inspired by?)
2) did a lot of different things with ease -- led the Spirits in the Sky pickup group through three songs (full set on YouTube), appeared for a guitar solo on one Electric Prunes number, joined Djin Aquarian of YaHoWha13 to play bass and sung lead on "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" at the end of the night.
3) provided further evidence for my theory that's actually happiest on stage (and probably in general) when he's not struggling with his own expectations and/or ego. The three happiest and most relaxed times I've seen him perform were 2000 (earlier that day he announced the band's breakup and probably just felt he could take it easy), 2001 (the second Zwan show, just after the first and therefore beyond those expectations) and last night, where he was a featured performer but not the center of attention. So last night was a lot of humor, gawkiness, shy smiles, etc.
And the new song that he debuted with the Spirits in the Sky was pretty good!

A couple of days and a harrowing plane flight later, the band makes it to a resort town called Surfer’s Paradise, which is more or less the Miami Beach of Australia, a skinny coastal town about an hour south of Brisbane, pounded by waves and plagued with jellyfish, crowded with high-rise hotels popular with Japanese honeymooners. Surfer’s Paradise is the jumping-off point for the Big Day Out tour, a sort of Australian Lollapalooza that Soundgarden will headline this year. In the lobby bar of one of the tallest hotels, Cornell and Thayil are settling back with a couple of beers when Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins wanders through, and decides to join them for a strawberry margarita. Corgan chatters about the pain of his life, the supposed incompetence of his band (everybody rolls their eyes), the lifesaving virtues of Jungian therapy, bands that suck. Cornell gets up to leave. Corgan tells Thayil how important Soundgarden used to be to him, and he baits him by saying that the Pumpkins sometimes do a cover of Soundgarden’s “Outshined” that segues into a Depeche Mode song or something.“I’m thinking of making my next album really new wave,” Corgan says, “like ’83-’84 new wave, not like Berlin. I spend all my time doing things that may be a bit tangential, but I think I’m going to go back to the core, the heart music. Echo and the Bunnymen.”This is standard stuff to anybody who has read even a single Billy Corgan profile, the basic curriculum of Pumpkins 101. But Thayil isn’t buying. He’s sore.“Don’t you see,” Thayil says, “you’re this incredibly talented guy. People like your music. You have a good band. You sell a lot of records. You don’t need all this…stuff.”“What sign are you?” Corgan asks.“What do you mean, what sign am I?” Thayil says. “What difference could that possibly make?”“C’mon,” wheedles Corgan, “when is your birthday?”“All right, goddamn it: September 4th.”“Aha!” Corgan says. “A Virgo. You’re argumentative.”“Damn right, I’m argumentative,” Thayil says, and takes a long, angry pulll at his beer, “which you should know because I’ve been arguing with you for half an hour, not because of any sign.”“I’m a Pisces,” Corgan replies. “We pick up on those things.”A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil’s heart: “I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back.”Thayil explodes: “What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?”“But I hate it,” Corgan says, “it means they don’t think I’m the cute one.”“Ooh,” Thayil says a little too loudly as Corgan walks away, “I’ll bet he’s going to call his therapist in Chicago, wake her up at four in the morning, and tell her about that big, mean bear who made fun of him.”The next day at the Big Day Out festival, Thayil is talking to Kim and Kelley Deal in the Breeders’ dressing room when Corgan walks past wearing a long-sleeved Superman T-shirt like the one your four-year-old nephew probably owns.“You hurt me deeply,” Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. “You hurt me deeply in my heart.” The Pumpkins go on to play the best set anybody has ever heard them play, their usual passiveness and precision overlaid with an unfamiliar scrim of anger that throws their music into brilliant relief.

Do you like his lyrics? I think a lot of Blinking with Fists is as good or better than his lyrics on the first five records.
"A Twixt the Twine"
A twixt the twine and flowers divineDevise the design in this copper wineAghast the mask of ripping changeA loft amongst the highest paid
blend in the softer huesBespeak of melon and her honey fuseLight my ire's with playful trustFor devour you insatiable I musSo mixed the mire the many did soarSour the supirn on slippery floorGreen the grievous poured wound into saltSalacious and sated the savory sport
Don't get certain play trickw with mine pullGather your colours and ever your sulkNo manners in me matter the most Than playing valor to your consummate hostPillow the phenom on purring divanMellow the missing on vanilla white toastLaboured among the living lull lastRepay the repast in revolting rake
Never come give it up, whatever you may squanderThe figs in the pockets and the coursings down underBy blood are the passions passing us upBy pill the poison feelingThe heat it kills me everydayBy graveyard vigil and candles I bakeAnd kitchens are aching for archangel fallsOf soft baby bottoms and polished skulls, amen.

― WHERE'S JIM!? (Turrican), Monday, 28 March 2016 15:00 (eight years ago) link
Sadly I think that's out of Bill's control...D'arcy hasn't played music since she left SP in 1999. Toward the end, she couldn't even remember the songs. She was totally fried on hard drugs and judging by recent pictures and that radio phone call in 2009, she's still drinking and using and basically out of commission...somehow, I'm friends with her on Facebook, and she's totally unrecognizable. The damage with James was entirely interpersonal, I don't think D'arcy could play with SP again even if she wanted to. Billy said a lot of awful shit about James since 2000, but he's never talked shit about D'arcy behind stating the obvious, "she has a lot of problems..."

Boy, these Corgan appearances on the Alex Jones show are, uh, something else. (Available for your viewing "pleasure" on YouTube.) I had a tough enough time defending my love for BC's music after I found out he was a run-of-the-mill prick; now I can see he's also a total wackjob hateful conspiracy crank.

I hate to make the most obvious point: If you’ve got 10 billion dollars, you’re not hiring hookers.

right, he never defends Trump in there, he's wrong about the hookers thing, it's the same tip he's been on for years: spiritual with a dash of conspiracy theory/new world order crank, disdain for the major media organs that made him a star and now no longer have any use for him. also he only ripped on anderson cooper because anderson cooper dedicated a 5-minute segment to mocking bill's cat magazine cover unprovoked. look, he was on mancow and mancow asked him if he understood why the pictures of him at disneyworld were funny. "no, i don't get it. we seem to live in a culture that thrives on misery..." and then wouldn't let it go for 10-15 minutes. it was great

Looking more and more like Walter Becker every day
I liked his comment about people hung up on the name change- "it's my real name, it's not like i named myself Quasar 47."
