He's so calculating at times, I wouldn't be surprised if he started this nexus thing to gain publicity for his other projects outside of music.

And here we are now. Machina really was the end of artwork.
Future Embrace had plenty of "art work" if you ******* the videos shot for it as an extension of the album.

My guess is that bill ditched the website so he didn't have to pay to host, maintain and update it.


He's broke!


Either that or he's lost his mind and Yoko Ono is now in charge.

yeah I bought the Zeitgeist special edition with the booklet - don't ask me why - and wow it is shite. the artwork for TbK was amateur-hour, AG and Oceania are okay, no great shakes. it looks likely that Yelena was a major influence on artistic direction 95-2000. tbh though if the music was good I could care less what the packaging was like.

so, billy and the pumpkins have finally become one and the same entity. hence the SP site now hosts Corgan's non-SP related bullshit.

Well, if nothing else, it looks like he's wearing a shirt that fits in that SSTARIA interview. Or at least agreed to be shot from the waste up.

I too am curious to know what a retarded smashing pumpkins fan finds intriguing about the new website.

We can call it research, T&T. They're just going to post non-sequiturs addressed to nobody with zero information attached anyway.

I just like it, and I'm excited to hear the two new albums.

I am also curious to know why you people shit on Billy. Nothing he does now is going to match Siamese or Mellon Collie, but there are fans who still like what he does.

If Jimmy comes back that's great but if not that's okay.

He doesn't follow through on his promises. That's my reason.

Yes I'm 22, and I don't have an explanation.

I don't think Mike's a great drummer either.

bye june:

billy gets shit on a lot for many reasons, some deserved and some less deserved:

alienating all of his band members EVER (just wait for these three)
blaming fans when things go wrong
not following through on projects
"firing" jimmy in 2008
hiring mike byrne
teargarden by kalydiscope
general decrease in quality of work, though most would agree oceania was a bump up from teargarden for whatever that's worth
not putting out his best work since the reunion or really, since machina
shitting on netphoria whenever it's mentioned, but failing to host an official or alternate message board for any length of time (more than 2-3 years)
$250 meet-and-greets
editing out critical comments on the o-board/twitter/facebook etc, to a ridiculous agree. im not saying he should leave up the 'hey b0lly you suck'
using the SP name to promote unrelated shitty projects

i could go on.

I hate him for saying adore was a mistake in 2000 and for having the worst moderators on the first boards ever 2000-2003 or 2004. His announcements of announcements piss me off. Also the adore reissue is taking so fucking long with hardly any news. I hate how much he cash grabs his best fans. His hippie vegan bullshit, he is obviously eating hot dogs. The way he wears his coat on his shoulders like he is anna wintour. His clothes don't fit. He doesn't hate a proper website. His hack designer for the reissues never hung punctuation. His positive fans who would slit your throat if it meant billy's approval.

I could go on. Fucking billy!
