Corgan announcement: “Just got word that ‘Teargarden’ is over.”

In posts tonight to Twitter and his new Facebook account, Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan says that his band’s ambitious Teargarden by Kaleidyscope project is ending prematurely.

One of Corgan’s 64 Facebook friends, HU reader Jonathan Monte, has chosen to violate the singer’s trust by posting to the SmashingPumpkins.com message board a copy of the full ‘note’, in which Corgan tells of his disappointment at the news.

“I know I said 44 songs, but seems like it’s just going to be nine,” he wrote. “That’s what I’m told, anyway.

“If you think about it, though, there actually have been 11 songs,” Corgan continued, ostensibly referring to Teargarden‘s two vinyl-only tracks. “Eleven is the root or whatever, factor of 44, and 33, yadda yadda, so maybe there is a logic to it. All part of the big guy’s plan, I guess. Or God’s.”

Reaction by the news media has been swift and predictably harsh, though tinged with relief in some quarters. Pitchfork’s Tom Breihan wrote, “Billy Corgan says that his ‘Teargarden by Kaleidyscope’ project is now done. I guess he didn’t get the memo when we all agreed we were done with it after the second song.” Shortly thereafter, BuzzMedia’s Stereogum.com posted a reblog of Breihan’s commentary illustrated with the word DONE superimposed in Impact font over a picture of Corgan.

Though Corgan’s tweet promised word of new plans for the Pumpkins, in the Facebook note he seemed hesitant. None of his bandmates were ‘mentioned’ in the note — the sole denizen of Facebook to receive that honor was Pumpkins manager Irving Azoff — and as for a new musical direction, Corgan gave no specifics beyond “lots of Big Muff” and “no ukelele.”

As yet, the “Abandoned projects” section of Corgan’s Wikipedia entry has not been updated

ilikeplanets · 04-01-2011, 03:36 AM

There is something sick hidden here....something to do with malice and pitiful humor....but I am too tired.

Spira|_ · 04-01-2011, 05:26 AM

hope is true.

Kahlo · 04-01-2011, 05:34 AM

Do you think because he would change the name he would make better music?

Who knows.

FoolofaTook · 04-01-2011, 05:39 AM

Kahlo · 04-01-2011, 05:48 AM

Empty, just like Corgan's creativity. Ho ho.

Grox · 04-01-2011, 06:25 AM

ugh i thought this was real for a couple hours

dean_r_koontz · 04-01-2011, 06:29 AM

lol moran.

Eye · 04-01-2011, 07:11 AM

It's actually all too real guys.

Corgan said in the announcement that he planned to post more details on his Facebook. But I can tell you now that Billy has given us an exclusive ahead of time as to what the future of The Smashing Pumpkins is and how Act IV factors into it.

I can't tell you much on the boards except there will be significant changes to the SP lineup and that Act IV will be renamed Act V for reasons that will become clear on the website.

To read more and get some details on this news, please go to the Act IV site. Be sure to read everything so you are all up to date!:

Nice that you have painfully bad jokes to go with the painfully bad music. Keep up teh good work guyz!

LaBelle · 04-01-2011, 07:55 AM

it's really sad that I wished this was for real actually...

dustrock · 04-01-2011, 09:58 AM

Figured we'd get a "Mike is fired" thread but this works too.

Also would have accepted "Billy decides to release proper album"

Kahlo · 04-01-2011, 09:59 AM

all great contenders for next year, or the following 18 years of this album to come.

Trotskilicious · 04-01-2011, 10:04 AM

wow bill has less facebook friends than i do lol

ilikeplanets · 04-01-2011, 10:27 AM

Why does he have to go and hate on the Big Muff like that? If that fucking thing didn't exist, he'd be working in a pizza hut!

Trotskilicious · 04-01-2011, 10:33 AM

it's a joke

ilikeplanets · 04-01-2011, 10:36 AM

Nothing about the Big Muff is a joke...

Trotskilicious · 04-01-2011, 11:13 AM
