Some interesting stuff here about Pumpkins/Zwan/forthcoming solo material.

Interesting stuff, yeah. I'm looking forward to Corgan's solo album- he is one of those musical artists that I've always enjoyed listening to. The chances of a Pumpkins reunion are obviously slim when you consider all the shit that band went through, but I really don't think they should get back together- their day is most definitely over. It's a shame he dismisses Zwan though, I thought they were really underrated and had massive potential. I guess Corgan is just way too difficult to work with, and the recent born-again Christian messages on his official website are slightly worrying for a guy who once sung "God is empty"...

Yeah, I agree with you, I think "Mary Star of the Sea" is a good album, but really, a lot of the best stuff never got released officially - I've got a few bootlegs, and I just wish that "My Life and Times" got a full release (Not the clips on the DVD, but the song in full).

The christian stuff is very worrying.
