The Smashing Pumpkins 'Dusting Off' New Album

In a particularly loved up message on his Myspace blog, Billy Corgan has given fans an insight in what to expect from The Smashing Pumpkins in 2007.

Speaking in a poetic, almost whimsical narrative Corgan confirms that songs are “being dusted off” and the band are looking forward to “playing to fans young, old and missed.”

After calling for all fans to come forward, he them ambiguously described the music as “familiar yet unknown, welcoming but not sentimental.”

He continued: “We have turned the page and moved on, from places and faces, names and games...this age calls for resolve and certitude, and the fire within to burn ever bright.

”If that fire should be connected to absolutely deafening guitars, thundering drums, and the melodies of snakes, then so be it!”

He then preceded to say how he loved the readers. Ah bless.
