That Billy Corgan fella has been blogging about the previously reported new Smashing Pumpkins album. In a MySpace posting Corgan writes: "This year for us will see a new album of songs and a world tour of tears, and we truly look forward to playing again for fans young, old, and missed. So yes, tunes are being dusted off, while others are being asked to kindly submit to an upstart millennia and all it's asking. When we opened the lid on this music box, we were pleasantly surprised at the music that played: familiar yet unknown, welcoming but not sentimental ... and that is all we can ask".
It is still not confirmed which label will release the new Smashing Pumpkins album, though insiders reckon it will be one of Warner's US divisions - they having released Corgan's 2005 solo album 'TheFutureEmbrace'.
