I
don't like Billy Corgan. I never liked the Smashing Pumpkins. When one
day, I heard
that the Pumpkins were disbanding, I felt great waves of relief, at knowing
that I wouldn't
have to listen to Billy Corgan's whiny/constipated/struggling voice on
my radios anymore.
But
then it was my misfortune that Billy Corgan decided to pursue a singles
career.
And of course, being who he is, it was very easy for him to pick up a
label, and it was
only a matter of time before he released his first singles album.
One
day, I was tuned into 99x,
(atlanta radio 99.7), and being a Tuesday, there were
a litany of new release CDs, and they were giving them away on the radio
- I was lucky
caller #10, and I won three free CDs. Audioslave's new album, the Flaming
Lips, and...
Billy
Corgan's The Future Embrace.
I'm
a fair guy - I listened to it, hoping that perhaps it would be different
than the crap
he produced with the Pumpkins. I was wrong. It sounded just like the Pumpkins,
and
somehow, it somehow (read:
somehow) sucked more than the Pumpkins. If that could
somehow be possible, but Billy Corgan certainly did accomplish it.
Instead
of attempting to make like a dollar at a used CD store, or giving this
CD away,
I thought I'd do the world a favor, and get rid of it in my own special
way.
god,
Billy Corgan sucks.
