Billy Corgan in the middle of his Live Earth set: "Our new Album comes out Tuesday"

I'm a really big Pumpkins fan, but that struck me as pretty tacky.

Harry Shearer didn't go out of character to plug the Simpsons movie coming out in a couple weeks.

1. i think they were one-hit wonders

tonight, tonight was great, but their other songs and albums were good, but not great. I'm not sure that billy can repeat the magic - he failed badly with Zwan.

8. Yes, tacky, but the album's good

It's hard, pointed lyrically, and I'm really happy for Ginger, the bass player. She could be appearing in my next crush list. It's really their best CD since Mellon Collie. My only complaint is it misses such riffs like "Today"'s riff to cut through the fuzz.

10. BTW

I really liked Zwan, but not Billy's solo CD. I must be one of the few who enjoyed Zwan.
