The Smashing Pumpkins è un gruppo musicale originario di Chicago (Illinois, Stati Uniti), in attività dal 1988.
La band nasce dall’idea di Billy Corgan (voce e chitarra) e James Iha (chitarra), all’epoca due ragazzi appassionati principalmente di musica rock, hard rock, new-wave e psichedelica.

In between heavy touring schedules, the Smashing Pumpkins have found time to create a four-song acoustic EP, "American Gothic," to be released Jan. 2 exclusively via iTunes in the U.S.
We may have to end up chalking this up to music industry rumors or other less than reliable source, but being a bit of a rabid Smashing Pumpkins fan, this news really peaked my interest. Apparently the new incarnation of the Pumpkins is returning to the studio a bit sooner than first anticipated [...]
Como decÃa el otro dÃa Jorge en Twitter, Billy Corgan (foto de Ignoto cc by 2.0) no está en su mejor momento. Luego del proyecto fallido de Zwan y un flojo primer álbum solista, resucitó a su banda aunque sin sus miembros originales (sólo está el baterista Jimmy Chamberlin).
Sin embargo, el sitio oficial de [...]

A little over dramatic, but hey - it’s a Pitchfork article.Billy Corgan shits on indie record stores.
I feel like tons of bands do this. Special versions for different locations. While it may be unfair to consumers and fans, no need to single out Smashing Pumpkins. It sucks but so is the current state of the [...]
Something to think about at this time year with Halloween just around the corner. Pumpkin goes through all the drama of finding a mate in the pumpkin patch just as we all do. Since each pumpkin produced is started with a story of some kind. Because think about it if it was not for dating and mating pumpkins would be no Jack O Lanterns for Halloween. Each of us has a story to our life even being a pumpkin has a story that makes it special. Like your life is special because it is your life story that is what makes your story special is you. - Find a Pumpkin
Don’t know what to be this Halloween turn into a Pumpkin Rot Mask . Complete over the head latex mask with the lid of this Jack-0-Lantern comes off to expose its slimy pumpkin brains! As a bonus, the green eyes glow in the dark! - Buy Pumpkin Rot Mask

Massachusetts moonbat Governor Deval Patrick ran on the promise of cutting the property tax burden on the citizens of Massachusetts.

I fell in love with this band decades ago.With the original members Billy Corgan, D'Arcy, James Iha and Jimmi Chamberlin, they literally rocked my teenage life with their hits Perfect and Bullet with Butterfly Wings. The best song they ever wrote (in my humble opinion of course) has to be Stand Inside Your Love, with an equally beautiful music video.As the saying goes, not all good things are meant to last. The band I loved split and some went into ventures of their own. I remember watching Zwan's video with Billy Corgan actually "smiling" and I swear it sent shivers down my spine. Not that I don't want to see his face happy for a change, it was something I wasn't used to seeing, and I felt that somehow, it just wasn't him.Since last year, word about Billy Corgan reuniting the Smashing Pumpkins went out, but as an avid fan, I can't help but feel that the band just isn't the same without the original members. Change is inevitable, yet I feel that some changes are for the worst. Oh well,

From one pumpkin to another. A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?"
The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin." God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.
He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves
Grim news from the Smashing Pumpkins Vancouver date, where a man who was found unconscious in the auditorium before the Corganites came on stage has died in hospital. There's no word yet on what the cause might have been.
I just found a piano only version of Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins in YouTube. Watch and listen. It will send chills down to your spine. The piano cover was done by some YouTube user. His other covers are some songs from Pink Floyd and some classical music.
Ever wondered how a day in the life of a rock band could be? Well, here you can get a glimpse of how a day in the life of the Smashing Pumpkins is...

For me, the Smashing Pumpkins are one of those bands, like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, that even at their worst I found interesting and compelling enough to listen to. I’m a big fan of their first three albums of course, but can also appreciate the their new directions on Adore and even MACHINA I and II. Since the announcement that they would be “reforming” for a new album and subsequent new tour I have been preparing myself for new Pumpkins music and have stated multiple times that I was looking forward to hearing new material from one of my all time favorite bands.
That new album was released on July 10th 2007, and I have been listening to it along with all of my other Pumpkins material from the major alums to the obscure b-sides, demos and covers trying to decide what exactly I wanted to say about this release; how I think it will be perceived by the fans, new and old; and what it means in terms of the rebirth of the Smashing Pumpkins in a society that last saw them

Zeit·geist [tsahyt-gahyst] –noun German.
the spirit of the time; general trend of thought or feeling characteristic of a particular period of time.
The Smashing Pumpkins’ new opus Zeitgeist has been defined with bold words (”orgy”, “captivating”, “turbulent”) by all the big dogs. Pretty Much Amazing brings you The Good, The Bad, and the Amazing.
The Good:
“Overall, Corgan’s captivating effort to mine both the spirit of these turbulent times and the soul of his defining band is a smashing success.” [Amazon]
The Bad (ish, c’mon… its the Pumpkins):
“Zeitgeist’s orgy of avalanche rhythms, cascading riffs and sky-licking guitar is as grandiose as ever (the solo on “Tarantula” sounds like a nuke hitting a Guitar Center), but the bombast is softened as Corgan reaches out for shame-sharing community.” [Blender]
The Amazing:
Corgan’s signature guitar tone is still as succulent and dynam
