Not too long after breaking up the Pumpkins, Billy formed Zwan with Jimmy Chamberlain and a few other indie superstar musicians, and they put out one pretty decent album in 2003 (fun, well-played guitar pop, if a little MOR) but broke up before the end of that year for no real reason.

Then, this year, Billy released a solo album, which I haven't heard, but I can only assume it's awful. The guy's become a weird caricature of himself. He's got a blog where talks about how much he loves his kittens and hates D'arcy and crap like that. He put out an ad in the Chicago Sun-Times over the summer talking about getting the pUmpkins back together, but I think it was just a publicity stunt for his new album. Weird dude.

Noooo!!!

*cries in background*

How did I miss this one? Radiohead. My band lost! I don't think I will recover from this one...26 to 8???!! Yikes. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Just a little poll (of which my boyfriend, who thinks PF are the greatest musical force ever to grace this planet, will probably be proud- though he loves Radiohead as well). I can live through this. It'll take time to recover, but I'll make it I suppose.

I'm off to listen to the Bends for consolation. How anyone can deny their genius is beyond me. Pink Floyd= zzzzzzz
