Corgan Embraces The 'Future' On Solo Debut
From Billboard.com:
Corgan Embraces The 'Future' On Solo Debut
Former Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan leader Billy Corgan has wrapped work on his solo debut, "THEFUTUREEMBRACE," to be released June 21 via Warner Bros. The first single to be worked to U.S. radio outlets will be "Walking Shade," while Corgan will embark on his first solo tour of intimate venues beginning in July.
The 11-track set includes a cover of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody" that features the Cure's Robert Smith on backing vocals. Former Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin is behind the kit on "DIA," returning the favor of Corgan's recent appearance on his Sanctuary solo debut, "Life Begins Again."
"Many people assume when I do more progressive work that I am trying to move away from something, when honestly what I am trying to do is get closer to who I really am," Corgan says of the upcoming album. "I tried to sum up all my feelings about my life and the world around me in the most beautiful ways I could dream up. It is easy to be negative, and much harder to find that silver lining behind the clouds of modern society."
While working on the album, Corgan also wrote a volume of poetry, "Blinking With Fists," which reached the New York Times' best-seller list.
Here is the track list for "THEFUTUREEMBRACE":
"All Things Change"
"Mina Loy (M.O.H.)"
"TheCameraEye"
"To Love Somebody"
"A100"
"DIA"
"Now (And Then)"
"I'm Ready"
"Walking Shade"
"Sorrows (in blue)"
"Pretty, pretty STAR"
"Strayz"
Digital Release of Entire Smashing Pumpkins Catalog
From Paste Magazine:
Digital Release of Entire Smashing Pumpkins Catalog
April 5 marks the date that the entire Smashing Pumpkins catalog will be available in the digital domain for the first time. The band has been waiting and watching the regulation of digital music to ensure their fans receive proper access to the Pumpkins’ music in the most reliable and fair formats. The band has cranked out an impressive 227 songs in its 10-year existence. All the official album releases are here as well as 114 non-album tracks, including rare imports, long-out-of-print songs, obscure covers, soundtrack releases, vinyl-only B-sides and limited editions.
Smashing Pumpkins founder Billy Corgan worked closely with Virgin/EMI on this project (while simultaneously preparing to release his solo debut TheFutureEmbrace). The Smashing Pumpkins campaign extends to traditional retail, as well, with special CD-sale pricing on the band’s catalog for a limited time.
All major DSPs, including Apple iTunes, Real/Rhapsody, MusicMatch, Napster, Sony Connect, WalMart.com, MusicNet/AOL and MSN will generate customized visibility promotions for Smashing Pumpkins’ digital launch. In addition, previously unavailable live and concept video will drive promotions on major internet-service providers.
