Earlier this year Billy’s home page, as well as band site, changed to the new site that it is currently:
‘it’s official, The Smashing Pumpkins are currently writing songs for their upcoming album, their first since 2000. no release date has yet been set, but the band plans to begin recording this summer.’
So the ‘band’ will be recording again soon. Being quite possibly this country’s greatest SP fans, we have been much deliberating over this news. Now after numerous vivid and stimulating conversations, have come to the conclusion that this will be a double album. Well, maybe I speculate it will be. I will it to be truth. Oh the reasons are far a few between, and myself, being such a literary jiant, will but list a few.
10 Years!.. 10 years.!!! Billy wrote around a song a week. (ish). for 10 years!!… (ah close at least. well, spfc it ok.). Now, we know Jimmy is also still musically active, as since he has also toured and released an album. though the wild cards in this crazy bag are obvious, and mysterious. Although sadly de-emphasised, as stated previously: ‘Billy needs little more than Jimmy to record…’. This has been known to be true, still my sentiments towards this statement remain mixed.
So what other bands have released two double albums? (comments please! ) Off the top of my head im unsure, and even so, how Pumpkins would it be for Billy to do it again!! That is why it is soo happening. I will it so. I send out the intention. Right now, right this very second. For It would definitely scare our mothers.
The scope? well, i guess that is another post.
