After OGILALA is WPC's greatest commercial failure with only one week in the BILLBOARD charts at number 183:
Does BILLY still want to release another solo album before the PUMPKINS reunion and then record another album with the band next year too?
Won't happen this way...

“Regardless of if I do anything more with the Pumpkins, which is sort of up in the air, I would like to do an acoustic based record every 18 months,” he concludes. “I’ve already written another album to follow up Ogilala, which is just sitting there. The difficulty is working out how this music fits in the world. It’s not easy to get on the radio and all those traditional things - it's hard to market. My great hope is that it will be well enough received that it’ll allow me to do another record. I’d also like to do sessions where I record a lot of my old songs but in acoustic form. So over the next five years I would release 150-200 acoustic versions of my songs. I’ve released 300 so far and there is another 100 that haven’t been released. I could release that on my own label or something. Over time I could compile an alternate record of my songs - acoustic or piano versions as opposed to the more band-like versions. There are a lot of good songs there that have been overlooked because of the time or the production.”

"I'm gonna record another acoustic album and then hopefully next year there'll be a PUMPKINS tour. Hope...-our fingers are crossed."
