flogging poor dead horses

Baldy Corgan took out a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune today announcing the release of his new album and the desire to reform the defunct Smashing Pumpkins. It seems unlikely that the latter announcement will bear much fruit - James Iha has a pretty sweet gig with A Perfect Circle these days and D'Arcy is likely dead from an OD in an alley somewhere. Howver, good 'ol Jimmy Chamberlin has likely already signed on for the potential project, having stuck with Bill through the ridiculous Zwan debaucle and even sitting in on drums for a track on his new solo disc. What say I about a reformation, you ask? So what, I reply. Do something uselful and release Gish on SACD instead.

-gosh, neph-
