embracing the past...and cute brits too
I have loved Billy Corgan since I was sixteen years old or so. I flew home to chicago when I was a sophomore in college for less than twelve hours to go to the Smashing Pumpkins farewell concert with my friend Melissa who came down on a BUS from CANADA. I know I've said before and I will say again that my dream would be for that band to reunite. Instead, we tide ourselves over with solo projects.
Here is a media player where you can listen to all of Billy's new album, TheFutureEmbrace. I half like it half dislike it, but I will love Billy with all my  sixteen year old self forever. Go and listen for yourself, my favorite track is A100.
In other exciting news, The Cribs are touring the US this summer with another one of my UK favorites, The Kaiser Cheifs. I met the Cribs in London last year and they are some of the nicest boys EVER. And they love Ghostbusters. Check out these tour dates (they hit Webster Hall on the 21st with the Kaisers, tickets available here)
